Dinner menus for this week

Most of this week's recipes are coming (again) from Dick Logue's 500 Low Sodium Recipes. I didn't plan the menus before we went shopping; we did it backwards this week, went shopping, picked up what we needed and what looked good, and decided what to do with it afterwards.

Sunday:
Pork chops & low-sodium sauerkraut, potatoes (either plain baked or instant mashed), butternut squash, bean salad (frozen beans, green pepper, kidney beans, homemade dressing), homemade pumpernickel bread, cookies, grapes. [Comment on the bean salad recipe: I used only half the recommended amount of Europe's Best green and yellow beans--otherwise it would have been way too much for us. I also left out the onion.]

Monday:
Frozen cheese ravioli, tomato sauce, salad, maybe garlic breadsticks. I was going to make Creamy Mushroom Sauce (p. 316) but realized I bought only enough mushrooms for the Pork Stew--so we'll try that another time on something that doesn't already have cheese in it.

Tuesday:
Baked fish, fries, peas, Pineapple Coleslaw (apple, green pepper, shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, crushed pineapple, vinegar, sugar)

Wednesday:
Chicken Chow Mein (chicken breasts, frozen vegetables, chicken broth, soy sauce substitute, cornstarch, water chestnuts (optional)); rice.

Thursday:
Hot dogs, canned baked beans, leftovers

Friday:
Pork Stew (pork, can no-salt tomatoes, onion, peppers, chicken broth, mushrooms, flour, seasonings); fusilli (spiral macaroni); Pineapple Sherbet (leftover pineapple and bananas, frozen and put through the food processor)

Saturday:
Beef Burritos (double the recipe) (ground beef, onion, green pepper, kidney beans, tortillas, sour cream cheese, seasonings); rice, salad, ice cream and bananas
