Menu plan 12/19/11: Vacation and visitors

This week, the kids are off school.  No running around to activities or picking up after school.  So, in theory I should have plenty of time to make decent dinners, right?  We'll see.

I also have guests coming to visit starting on Friday, so I won't be able to get away with some of my super-quick meals.  So we'll have two really nice meals on Friday and Saturday nights.  Sunday, as per our yearly tradition, we'll go to a movie (The Muppets) and have Chinese food!

Here's what's for dinner this week:

Monday - Picadillo over pasta

Tuesday - salmon with 7-Spice Seasoning, brown rice with salsa and cheese

Wednesday -  meatballs with tomato sauce, salad

Thursday - Veggie Burritos

Friday - Chicken Broth with Matzo Balls, roast turkey, Kasha Varnishkes, salad, challah

Saturday - Lasagna Roll-ups, salad

Sunday breakfast - latkes with applesauce and sour cream
Sunday dinner - Chinese food
