Meal Planning

I am back to Menu Planning. It is the number one thing that makes my life flow smoother. I usually grocery shop on Thursdays, so my plans start on Thursday. Here is this weeks plan:

Thursday - Slim Jim Sandwiches, Garden Salad (click on "recipes" on the sidebar to find the Slim Jim recipe)

Friday- Maple Salmon, Rice Pilaf, Grilled Asparagus (Tricia has the recipe for the salmon in the Torola Cookbook p. 182, and the Rice Pilaf is on p.92)

Saturday - Grilled Hamburgers, with sauted mushrooms and Swiss cheese.  Cherry tomatoes and Dill Pickles.

Sunday - Pick up Pizza

Monday- Pork Medallions, Boiled Redskin Potatoes from the vegetable stand, Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower.*

Tuesday - Stewed Tomatoes and Chicken Sausage served over brown rice. Green Beans.**

Wednesday - Picante Chicken, p. 154, Hasselback Potatoes, p.80, Corn on the Cob (from local stand). 

*(I have to learn how to do links)
Pork Medallions

1 porkloin tenderloin whole (1 pound)
1/3 cup flour
salt
pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 Tablespoons salad oil
butter
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

About 30 minutes before serving: With knife held at a slanting position, almost parallel to cutting board, cut porkloin crosswise into 1/4" slices. With meat mallet pound each piece to 1/8" thickness. On waxed paper combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 teaspoon pepper. In pie plate with fork beat eggs and milk until just blended. Dip tenderloin into flour and then into milk.

Heat salad oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Add tenderloin pieces a few at a time and cook until golden on both sides. Add more butter as needed.
