Weekly Dinner Plan 3/01/10 – 3/07/10

Dinner planning for this week comes from the February 2010 issue of Parenting magazine. It is “supposed” to start on a Sunday with the Turkey Loaf that I planned to make in my last weekly dinner plan…but we went out to a fundraiser dinner on Sunday night instead. So, I’m making everything one day later. Flexibility is key for chic mamas!

Turkey Loaf
Sides: Potatoes; Carrots

Tuesday 3/02/10
Pasta with Meat Sauce (crumble leftover meatloaf into marinara sauce)
Sides: Garden Salad; Baguette w/ Baby Creamed Spinach (recipe from Hungry Monkey book)

Wednesday 3/3/10
Pork-and-Pepper Fajitas (thinly sliced pork tenderloin sauteed with onions and bell peppers)
Side: Corn; Rice

Thursday 3/4/10
Lemon Chicken Breasts
Sides: Salad; Rice

Snow Day Scones

We had a snow day today in NY! So, I didn’t have to go to work. I decided to have some baking fun with my toddler. I found this recipe for scones on Giada’s website for Valentine’s Day (I can’t find it today though), but I didn’t get a chance to make them until today.

Making Strawberry Rosemary Scones with a Toddler

Pouring & Tasting (yum…butter!):

They actually turned out to be more cookie-like than scone-like:

I really liked the rosemary flavor and the strawberry jam was also a delicious addition. Toddler-approved as well! They are already half gone…
