June 2012 Weekly Dinner Menus
This is my two-year anniversary of making the dinner menu threads!
![]() Each week I pick out 6 things to make for dinner (one night is what we call FFY, or fend for yourself, night). This weekly menu becomes the base for the shopping list. Shopping is usually on Sundays, so Monday starts my "menu week". I start these menu threads every week and month so I have a record of what I fixed and to share to help others perform this sometimes tedious task. I have been doing this since June 2010 and as far as I know, all of the threads are still in this forum if you just go back far enough or search for them, you can find them. Please share your weekly menus here, too, and post or ask for recipes related to your menus. We are no longer allowed to post links to recipes on outside websites, but if it's here on LCF, please link to it. You may also list the recipe title exactly and say it's from "such and such website", or "so and so's blog". Here's what we were making last year at this time: June 2011 Weekly Dinner Menus ********** June 4-10 MON: Grilled chicken Caesar salad TUE: FFY WED: Layered Taco Bake (no beans, low carb tortillas) THU: OUT FRI: Shrimp scampi/green beans SAT: Ham/marinated cauliflower SUN: Ribs/salad/veg & dip |

Here goes my Virgin Meal Plan
![]() Monday: Vietnamese Noodle Free Bowl. Bean Spouts, chopped lettuce, green onion, thin slivers of cucumbers, chopped cilantro, shredded carrot, 1 tbs. chopped peanuts. Fish sauce over all, and Vietnamese hot sauce. Meat was marinated grilled pork. Yes it was so good. Tuesday: Deep fried fish. Batter was egg wash, pork flour blend, (in food processor, plain pork rinds, onion powder, garlic powder, coarse black pepper, dash of cayenne) Dip fish in egg wash, then pork flour blend. Careful not to overload the fish. (husband fishes and brings home sea bass) We have a small Presto fryer. Works great for two people. We had lemon wedges, homemade tartar sauce, coleslaw with home made mayo. Wednesday: Pork chops browned and slow cooked in mushroom soup Each chop has a nice thick onion slice on top. Green beans, left over cole slaw.

Garlic Chicken:
1 Roaster chicken 1/2 onion sliced 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp salt 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp pepper 20-40 cloves of garlic Place onions in bottom of crock pot. Place chicken on top. mix spices and oil to a paste and put on chicken. I crush the garlic with the flat side of a knife and put them all around the chicken. Just releases the garlic flavor. I also have used a lot less garlic cloves. Cook low 6-8 or high 3-4 or until done. This is yummy, but does taste close to my Zesty chicken recipe. I am trying to find a different recipe to try as well. If you know of one, please post it |

that is a ton of garlic! I don't have a really awesome crock-pot recipe for whole chicken. But I love to roast it simply covered in seasoned salt.

Hey fellow planners. I just stumbled across a website that is going to simplify my whole planning process. It's called ZipList and is combines all the things I've been doing separately -- digital recipe clipping, meal planning, and shopping lists. Plus it syncs to my calendar and has a mobile app. I'm so excited and thought I'd share!
