Menu Mondays – 1/12/2009

Here’s our menu for the coming week. The Hubster ™ suggested that we try to eat more vegetables, less meat and starch for our health. Helps our budget, too.

Monday – Taiwanese Ground Pork with rice & sauteed bok choy (L)
Tuesday – Thai-style papaya and carrot salad with grilled beef
Wednesday – Thai-style ground pork with papaya salad and steamed rice
Thursday – Vietnamese shaking beef over green salad
Friday – Vietnamese cold noodle bowls with grilled pork
Saturday – Japanese yakiniku (tableside grilled beef) with kimchee, rice and nori
Sunday – Cold peanut noodles with grilled chicken & Vietnamese salad rolls with pork & shrimp

Breakfast choices for the week – Oatmeal, cereal, tea & toast
Lunch for the week – Leftovers from the previous night
Snack choices for the week – carrots & hummus, fresh fruit

(L) – Denotes a leftover meal
(F) – Denotes a freezer meal

There’s meat in every dish but for most of these dishes, meat is a flavoring rather than a significant part of the dish. I’m lucky that the Asian market has pre-shredded carrots and papaya. That takes most of the work out of papaya salads
