Tentative menu plan for the week of April 1st

Given that I will be busy tomorrow, today is my day to menu-plan and grocery shop for the week.  I'm not going to put entire recipes here, since these are things I haven't made yet.  Instead, here's a list of things I plan to make.  I will update as I go through the week.  The theme this week is mushrooms.

Sunday: Probably nothing, but if I have time, I'll start on some prep work
Monday: Braised greens and shitakes over spaghetti squash
Tuesday: Mushroom pearl barley risotto with butter-glazed carrots (I haven't actually made carrots like this before, so this will be 2 recipes to make up for Sunday)
Wednesday: Portobello steaks with (maybe) pistou
Thursday: Mushroom stroganoff with pasta
Friday: Portobello panini
Saturday: Mushroom polenta


I will also have to think of some sides for these things, but I don't really want to count those as individual recipes, so I'm not sure what I'll do with that.  Maybe make enough carrots to be sides for everything. :)  Or throw together a salad, that's pretty easy.  We'll see how it goes.
