Menu Monday 4/2/2012


Dandelion Greens Salad
This Week’s Meal Plan 4/2 – 4/8

This week I finally got around to making homemade Raisin Bran Cereal, and it wasn’t bad. But I still need to work on it to make the flakes thinner and tastier. We also made a Dandelion Greens salad with orange slices and poppy seed dressing. A bit on the bitter side, but the oranges and dressing helped balance it. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that if you do decide to go foraging for Dandelion greens, be sure to forage somewhere there has not been fertilizer applied. The first shoots in the spring are supposed to be the most tender, and the smaller the shoots the better.

      I'm still working on the Raisin Bran, I adapted one from Mr. Breakfast, and I try to add one recipe a week. The mustard Glazed Corned Beef recipe came from a friend. If I remember correctly it was boiled for 3 hours, then a mix of brown sugar and dijon mustard gets slathered on top and baked for an hour over a broiling pan filled with water. This week I'll be sharing one of my breakfast items from above.
