Week 35, 2014 - Monday

Things to know for today:

  • Read through the menu plan, check your pantry/freezer and make your grocery list.
  • Go to the grocery store if necessary.Try to be sure you're getting everything you need. Multiple trips to the grocery store waste time and money!
  • For the Fogo rolls, you will need tapioca flour. If you don't have it, hopefully you have a large grocery store (Whole Foods or maybe a health food store) that carries it. If not, Amazon has it and that's where I get mine.
  • For the Fogo rolls, I always half this recipe and it's still more than the two of us can eat.
First thing this Morning:
  1. Season the steaks. Place them in a zipper bag and leave them in the fridge til time to prepare for dinner.
  2. Take the veal or chicken for tomorrow's dinner out of the freezer. Leave it in the fridge to thaw.
This Afternoon:
  1. Shred the potatoes about an hour before the cooking begins. Drain them on paper towels or in a colander.
  2. Make the Tomato/Cucumber Salad. I simply cut tomatoes and slice cucumbers, add oil, vinegar, salt and pepper along with a little sugar if desired.
For Dinner:
  1. Grill the steaks.
  2. Make the rolls.
  3. Heat the Green Beans.
  4. Make the Potato Pancakes.
  5. Remove the Tomato/Cucumber Salad from the fridge and allow to sit out for at least half an hour before serving.
