Weekly Menu, with a sore back
A sore back does not lend itself to cooking, easily. Lots of pain. It's difficult to adapt or to find another way of moving. Can't lift, can't pick up, can't even carry a box.
So, how to cook for my clients....I decided to go the 'ready made route this week. Here are my menus:
BBQ Chicken
Twice Baked Potatoes
Roasted Peppers
Beef Lasagne
Garlic Bread
Tossed Salad
And for Saturday, a reception, I'm hopeful that I'll be somewhat recovered to provide the following menu with possibly carried out sweets.
Saturday reception:
Small sandwiches
Shrimp Spring Rolls
Tortilla Roll ups
Fruit Platter
Sweets Platter
And for the other client ~
ROASTED PEPPERS, ORANGE CHICKEN/ TILAPIA, MIXED FRUIT, ARUGULA SALAD
SAUTEED MUSHROOMS, CHICKEN ALFREDO, SAUTEED APPLES, CHEESE / POTATO PIEROGIEs ,BEEF TIPS
SALAD WITH CROUTONS, CRESCENT ROUNDS
Everything has already been made by the store it came from. Should be easy, right?!?
