Monday- bierocks. I’ll use this recipe for the filling, but I’ll use my favorite roll recipe for the outside (I switch the amount of white and whole wheat flour and add a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten).
Tuesday- using the cabbage leftover from the bierocks, we’ll do this bean/cabbage/potato skillet. It looks boring, but we loooove it.
Wednesday- family dinner (aka, my mother generously cooks for all of us)
Thursday- pizza night. This is my all-time favorite crust recipe (I’ll double it). I think I’ll do one with red sauce and Italian sausage (because i have some in the freezer) and one veggie pizza with spinach pesto.
Friday- hummus, falafel, and tabouli with pita. [Does anyone have a good recipe for homemade pita, preferably whole wheat? Every time I've tried, it's turned out very lackluster.]
Saturday- We have a get-together that is Mexican-themed. I’m bringing homemade guacamole with salsa and chips.
LOVE the return of weekly meal plans! :)
I made bierocks last week! Then froze those bad boys …. w/ the dough I used, it was actually better after freezing and reheating, which seems strange, but we yeast-free girls gotta get creative!
We’re having pizza tonite, I have a basic recipe I always use for crust (in my breadmaker) but I think I’ll give this one a try, thanks!!
We had hummus yesterday, yum! And beirocks are a every month or two occurrence around here as well.
BLESSINGS!
Hope it works well for you, Monica. We certainly like it!
Ooooh, it was tasty! It needed a little more flour, and I think next time I’ll use a little less honey, but it was TASTY. THANKS!!!
Oh man I should have snuck over on Monday! I don’t know what it is about bierocks but I LOVE them but have never actually made any myself. Maybe I’ll try this next week. (Or feel free to bring any extra over ;) )
Glad it worked well for you, Monica!
Sarah – found your blog through Karen’s. I’m Monica’s sister. I have a pita recipe that we like a lot that I shared awhile back on my blog: http://www.tryingtoletgoandletgod.blogspot.com/2011/01/easy-pita-pockets.html.
Maybe it would work for you?
P.S. I really enjoy reading your blog – you are a great writer!
Thank you, Michelle! I will try it tonight and let you know how it goes.
