2 Meal plans in 1!

Because I'm just that far behind.  I didn't ever get around to posting my last meal plan.  There were no comments or questions about the lack of meal plan, so I have to assume that all 3 of my readers really enjoy this aspect of my blog. But somehow, if I post my plans I feel like I'm giving my suppers a little bit more validation and the effort of cooking every night is not "wasted". ha!!


Anyway.  Previous meal plan.  All I have left to make on this one is the mini meat loaves tomorrow.  Thursday night will be the biggest grocery shop EVER!

Tonight we had French Bread Pizza.  I had gotten a recipe for french bread a while ago from my SIL, Audra, but had never gotten around to making it.  I did tonight.  Easy and SO GOOD!  It makes 2 loaves so I used 1 tonight so the other is in the freezer for next time.


French Bread
2 T active dry yeast
2 c warm water
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
4-5 c flour
1 tsp cornmeal


In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Add the salt, sugar and 2 cups flour.  Beat until smooth.  Sir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.  Urn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.  Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.  cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.  Punch dough down.  Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half.  Shape into (2) 12" long loaves.  Place on greased baking sheet.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.  Sprinkle with cornmeal. With a sharp knife, make four shallow slashes across the top of each loaf.  Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
