Day 3 - This week's menu!

I've always admired people who meticulously plan all their meals for the week ahead of time. I usually start with plans for the first few days, but then fall flat on my face by Wednesday. I've spent the day thinking it through and finally have my menu down!

Monday - Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup and "Grilled Cheese" on Whole Wheat English Muffins

Tuesday - Green Coconut Curry Shrimp with Steamed Rice

Wednesday - Mini Penne and Marinara Sauce

Thursday - Chicken Tikka Masala

Friday - Burgers (if nice) or Meatloaf (if raining) and Scalloped Potatoes

As a bonus I'll also share the recipe for the soup which I just finished making:

Creamy Tomato Soup

1 box Pomi tomatoes

1 cup low sodium chicken broth

1/2 can organic tomato paste

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Bring all ingredients to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Cool. Puree in a blender or with an immersion blender. Reheat if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
