Menu Plan - February 8

Last week, Frog Prince was out of town for a BIG interview... which went exceptionally well.  We will know about the direction of our lives for the next few years by the 15th.  Just one week.  I can hardly wait.  While Frog Prince was gone, I made some good eats... which continued, of course when he returned:

Chicken and Spinach Soup

(this was probably my favorite from the week)

Oatmeal Waffles

(with berry sauce)

Mixed Roasted Veggies and Pasta

(Frog Prince's favorite)

English Muffin Pizzas
(what you get when you cook for 1 for the third night in a row...)

Unstuffed Pepper Skillet
(we added black beans too; yum!)

Sausage, Squash and Rice Soup

  

Whole Wheat Crackers

Sweet Potato Cake
(no-oil cake recipe!)

This week, Frog Prince is also gone... traveling this time for work.  I'm not looking forward to him being gone for a second week, especially since Tuesday is my birthday.  At least I can go watch LOST with my friends that evening.  We did celebrate this weekend with my birthday menu...

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

for breakfast

and,

White Cheddar Mac and Cheese

with steamed broccoli for dinner

For dessert, my favorite....



plain cake, warm right from the oven.  

YUM.  

With Frog Prince heading out of town, I did lots of cooking this weekend, so my meals this week are mainly leftovers.  This will be good because I hope to spend lots of time this week finishing a complete draft of my dissertation!!
