Menu plan Monday (and a crockpot, meatless meal)

Time again for Menu Plan Monday and today's plan includes a crockpot, meatless meal as well!  A friend had recently made this soup and her family loved it, so I thought this would be a great day to plan this for the Gorecki family as it is a very hectic Monday! LOL  So....here's the weekly menu with recipe at the end. ~Sue~


Monday:  crockpot African chickpea, curry soup and brazilian chebe bread buns

Tuesday: crockpot cream cheese chicken, gf pasta and salad

Wednesday: Great-grandmother's beef soup( Baba's soup) with meat/potatoes eaten seperately. (short story...when my great-grandfather and great-uncles worked in the steel mills, my great grandmother HAD to make soup for them everyday...and only the men got to eat the meat....if there was any left, then the women could have some.   There were 8 children....4 guys and 4 girls...and all 4 guys worked in the mill with their dad...so the reasoning behind only the men eating the meat was because they worked so hard in the mills....I've always found this interesting)

Thursday:  meat and cheese Papusa's, homemade salsa and salad

Friday:  crockpot Beef Stew

Saturday:  gf steak/mushroom white pizza , pickled veggies

Sunday:  roast chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots and corn (one of my husband's favorite, traditional Sunday suppers)
