Meal Plan Monday 5/17/2010


Last week's meal plan was in my head... that did not work out so well for us.  We ended up picking up take out a couple of times and that is really just not in the budget.  This week is even crazier than last week, so I am planning ahead, which means making a good meal plan.

Everyone will bring something terribly yummy to share.  Can't wait! 
I think I will make Pimento Cheese and West Indies Salad. 

West Indies Salad

1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
4 oz. Wesson oil
3 oz. cider vinegar
4 oz. ice cold water

1.  Spread 1/2 onions on bottow of a glass bowl.
2.  Cover with separated crab lumps.
3.  Top with remaining onion.
4.  Salt adn pepper to taste.
5.  Pour oil, vinegar and ice water over all.
6.  Cover and marinate 2 - 12 hours.
7.  Toss lightly before serving.  Serve with crackers (we like Club Crackers with this).

  1. Your flank steak recipe looks good! We recently purchased bourbon for a pork tenderloin dish I saw on America's Test Kitchen (it was fabulous!) but wasn't sure how to use more of it up...this will go on our menu plan next week, I think. Thanks!!
