Menu Run Down 1/3/09

Ok. So here we are a few days into it. So far, consumption has gone like this:
12/31/08: (post shopping trip) Caesar Salad with croutons (had old bread saved in freezer), seeded baguette with 2 oz of goat cheese and one head of roasted garlic, champagne (happy new year!). We made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies and froze 1/2 of the batter for later.
01/01/09: Breakfast was cereal. Lunch was pretzels and pirate booty (we took down the tree), and we had an early dinner of Taco Nite made with 1/2# of ground beef, beans, leftover soy cheddar, and some green onions and cilantro. Cracked a jar of salsa and opened a bag of tortilla chips. Mmmmmm.
01/02/09: Breakfast was waffles (Ray cooked!). and orange juice. Lunch was yesterday's leftovers re-purposed into tostadas. Dinner was at a friends house.
01/03/09: Breakfast was leftover waffles and orange juice. Cooked a single fried egg for each of us to go with. Lunch was meatloaf made with 1/2# of ground beef, celery, carrot, onion and breadcrumbs from old bread in freezer. Served it with skillet potatoes & green beans. Dinner (with friends) is spinach and goat cheese enchiladas from Hollywood Dish (love this cookbook!). Will serve with tortilla chips and a tossed salad with some sort of yogurt and salsa salad dressing I'll whip up.
