we are starting a new chapter in our lives after the death of my husband a month ago...my husband was a huge lover of food but, only what he liked to eat...and if he hated something I made, it usually ended up in the trash...I usually made him what he liked, but there were also days that the kids and I wanted something and we could sometimes change his mind whether he liked it or not...
when we first married, he made it very clear that he was a meat and potatoes kind of guy...he loved his steak (rib eye) and french fries...he also loved his Italian food as his mom was a terrific cook...she would start spaghetti sauce in the morning and leave it simmering all day long on stove top and throw any meat that was left over from the week into the sauce...so good...and we always had lasagna for Christmas Day dinner...
so he was very set in his ways about what he wanted to eat...but I got him to try and then love things like chicken pie, mac and cheese, my american style of spaghetti and many other types of down home comfort meals..he hated breakfast for dinner and he was not crazy about soups or salads for dinner either....he did not especially like me trying out new recipes and would usually turn up his nose, until he tried it...sometimes it was a sucess and sometimes not...
so when making these weekly menus I thought of him and wondered if he would approve them or not...
Sunday.............roasted chicken, scalloped potatoes (healthier) and snap peas
Monday...........slow cooker sausage and potatoes and green beans
Tuesday...........homemade mac and cheese
Wednesday......hamburger soup, artisan bread
Thursday.........meat loaf, mashed potatoes, maple glazed carrots
Friday..............teriyaki rice bowls
Saturday..........breakfast
