2010 First Meal Planning

Now that the holidays are behind us, mom will be needing a fresh supply of food soon.

During the holidays, mom had a lot of guests and her eating pattern was different than normal. She has about 4 meals left from the last batch. The trouble is she lives in a snowbelt region and it's been snowing there for 8 days! Getting the food to her in time will be a challenge.

Over the holidays, I gathered up most of the containers and brought them home. It took three loads in the dishwasher to clean them all!

I have developed a preliminary menu and have done 80% of the grocery shopping. So I will be cooking within the next three days.

TENTATIVE MENU

Spinach frittata
Split pea soup
Rotisserie chicken salad

Chicken paillards/asparagus/sweet potatoes
Garlic herbed rib eye steak/green beans almondine/mashed potatoes
Pork chops/acorn squash/spinach
Grilled halibut with lemon sauce/rice pilaf/roasted brussel sprouts

Now let's see if Mother Nature can give us a break in the snow so I can deliver the food...
