MONDAY
Tex Mex Chicken and Rice Casserole
This BIG FILLING meal is only on the list because of the oodles of cheese and veggies mixed in with the rice... otherwise... I am not one who likes to mix rice in with other food.
TUESDAY
Sweet and Spicy Mac Chili
A rainy day made it the perfect night for this macaroni chili and some home made bread with butter. We sweetened the chili with coconut sugar so my man could enjoy it as well.

WEDNESDAY
Northern Pickerel and Fresh Tzatziki Sauce.
Normally we would have served up this home made tzatziki with salmon but thanks to my Dad we had fresh pickerel!
THURSDAY
Home Fries and Feta Salad
Everyone has a nuts day when the menu doesn't go according to plan (forgot to take out the meat) well this meal developed on such a day and ended up making everyone happy. Potatoes are a rare treat around here so the kids where tickled to get home made fries with their salad and kippers. My guy was able to handle them by mostly sticking to the sweet potato fries mixed in (less starch).
FRIDAY
Mac and Cheese Pizza
This kid friendly meal was so pretty in prep I have to share a few pictures of it. Although not the biggest hit with mom and dad (we weren't that impressed with a crust of macaroni and cheese sauce) the kids LOVED IT!
When I make it through another weeks menu and look back I always feel relieved and successful:)

Great job! Thanks so much for sharing this, it is so helpful in inspiring me to plan meals too. And that fish sure looks good - it takes a lot for me to say that about fish :)
Smart to plan for 5 meals, with one of left-overs, and one other (faspa?...) Tzatziki Sauce, yes love it. Thanks for the reminder! Hmmm... maybe I'll serve it with cod or halibut this week.
When you have a chance, there's an Award waiting for you on my "Christmas in July" party post: http://www.chrysaliscafe.com/2010/07/youre-invited-to-my-christmas-party.html
Congratulations!

Faspa is a light meal created by the Mennonites so the ladies of the house could properly observe the sabbath. It was mostly cold trays of meats and cheeses, breads and veggies, so the women could prep it the day before and just pull it out after church. It is actually a lovely tradition. We learned all about it when we moved to a very German Mennonite town a few years back.
oooh yummy! It all looks delicious. Faspa....oh the memories. My grandparents are mennonite so I know all about it. Mennonite food is super delicious!
