April Dinner Menu Plans

  Although we are just about halfway through April I have finally sat down and made out some menus. I shopped on Monday and made a roast beef, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn for dinner. Lunches since I am on break have been sandwiches using lunch meat I purchased and/or the roast beef. Tuesday's night dinner was pork adobo with steamed rice. Wednesday I used some of the planned over roast and did beef and noodles in gravy with green beans. Last night I made a large salad of spring greens, tomatoes, red bell peppers, cucumbers, kalamata olives, gorgonzola cheese, pine nuts, and strips of planned over roast beef. Topped with a garlic vinaigrette dressing. I will be chopping up the remainder of the roast beef and sticking it in the freezer for a hash to be served on Monday night. I have two occasions to attend this month, one a dinner for my DIL for her 30th birthday and the other a surprise party for her. On different nights. Now that fish fry is over Friday nights will go back to being Val's choice except for tonight. He will be gone bowling so I am making myself a small meal.
