Monday Meal Plan

Here's this week's meal plan.  (Full recipes and shopping list here)

Tamale pie
Creole codfish
Welsh Rarebit
Honey-Jalapeno Chicken with Sesame Soba Noodles
Boston baked beans and Outback Bushman Bread
Corn Chowder

The first three recipes are from Foods That Will Win the War and How to Cook Them, and I'm very excited about it.  They are cheap, easy, and above all, fast.  We've been struggling with getting dinner into Lily early enough to head off her post-six-PM-breakdowns.  I definitely need to do more cook-ahead recipes but who has the time for that?  Hey look, here's a timely article about this problem that every parent seems to have.

I want to cook more vintage recipes.  I'm not sure why.
