Menu Monday

This week, our menu has two Irish nights on it, in honor of St. Patrick. Even if you're not Irish, you can get excited about St. Patrick; he was an amazing man, missionary, bishop and Christian.

Without further ado, here's what we're eating this week:

Monday: Corn-Sausage Chowder and fruit

Tuesday: My MIL is providing dinner, 'cause it's my son's first birthday!

Wednesday: Colcannon soup with Farmhouse Crackers (from the Irish food section of this month's Vegetarian Tiems)

Thursday: Orange Chicken with Rice Pilaf, and Broccoli with Red Pepper and Toasted Garlic

Friday: going to my parents' house (hmmm, this is quite a week for eating the grandparent's cooking)

Saturday: Corned Beef, Cabbage and Irish Soda Bread, what else? :D


Here's the recipe for the Corn-Sausage Chowder, which is pretty easy to make, and absolutely scrumptious:

-1 lb. sausage
-1 c. chopped onion
-3 c. chopped (1/2") potatoes
-2 c. water
-1 t. salt
-1/2 t. dried oregano
-1/8 t. black pepper
-1 15 1/4 oz. can corn, drained
-1 14 3/4 oz. can creamed corn, undrained
-1 12 oz. can evaporated milk

1) Cook and crumble sausage and onion till cooked an tender. Drain oil.
2) Stir in potatoes, water and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook almost 10 minutes, or till potato is tender.
3) Add corn and evaporated milk. Cook and stir till heated through.


I got that recipe quite awhile ago out of American Baby magazine, of all places!


peace of Christ to you,
