This post is part of Menu Plan Monday but I have to start with Sunday. Tonight, Alex made a wonderful paella with shrimp, mussels, and clams for his mother's birthday dinner. Served with steamed brussel sprouts on the side, the shellfish-loving Baillieul family appreciated every bite.
Here's what we'll eat the rest of the week:
Monday - parent observation night for Lil's ballet followed by Mad Mex for dinner
Tuesday - baked Mahi, roasted homegrown sweet potatoes, and salad
Wednesday - dinner with my parents, last fruit CSA pickup (boo hoo!)
Thursday - adzuki beans and greens soup for extended family to nosh on before or after trick or treat
Friday - spaghetti and homemade meatballs with homegrown tomato sauce
Saturday - Halloween party at Lil's friend's house
Sunday - Alex's family dinner
I have fresh beets and pears to process this week. I think I'll make some pickled beets for my grandmother and make most of the pears into brandied pears. There are always more apples to dehydrate and make into sauce...
