Menu Plan Monday- Week of Sept 26, 2011

This past week we had a great menu plan! 

The highlight was a definite pleasant surprise, 

the Cannellini Bean and Escarole Dish was awesome....

my girls loved it, my husband said it was a keeper,

and the leftovers were gone the next day.

Cannellini Bean and Escarole Dish

 

I must say that I did have a menu plan FAIL...

The Pork Dumplings

  

    Pork Dumplings

There are a few reasons for this fail:

1.  Tried to make right after picking up children late from school with baby crying.
2.  Continued to try to make while we babysat 3 additional children besides our own...
3.  I don't have a bamboo steamer... used metal steamer and all the dumplings stuck together. 
4.  Should have thought of a dipping sauce earlier than during serving it.

My recommendation....DO NOT ATTEMPT AS WEEKDAY 'SIMPLE' MEAL...its not!
