Weekly Menu Planning - April 2022

Actuals for April 11 week, cooking for 2 in MN. Although an author-friend of mine , Jeffrey D Burton says it’s actually March 48th since winter temperatures and frequent snow flurries are still happening. Still a Happy Easter here with families able to celebrate together. I was delighted to just see the neighbor’s youngest guests enjoying a quick egg-hunt in their back yard.

Mon: A wonderful favorite casserole (not a “salad” although that’s in the recipe title). Zucchini/haloumi/dried apricots using farro as the grain, not freekah. Added chicken. With naan. A half-recipe gives us 6 maindish servings.
Tues & Weds - Swiss and mushrooms burgers, sweet potato fries, mango, red grapes
Thurs - Shrimp corn chowder, naan
Fri - Curry cod over rice. Recipe posted in WFD
Sat - Ground beef & shredded potatoes casserole, sliced fresh oranges Inspired by the linked Julia Pacheco recipe, but using raw shredded potatoes not frozen hash browns. Next time I’ll double the potatoes, and use a lot more spice/seasoning than listed.
Sun - (today) - EASTER – skillet salmon, sweet potato, shredded apple/carrot/craisin salad, asparagus w 1-egg hollandaise, deviled eggs, Kings Hawaiian dinner rolls. Dessert (commercial) chocolate cream pie Sun (evening meal) - Slow cooker country style pork ribs in BBQ sauce, repeat lunch sides
