I got quite a bit done today, but as usual, not everything:
Yoga- 4 mile workout
Call my dad about gravel delivery at our vacation houseMake banana muffinsTake Nick to soccerMake a menu planMake a Costco listGo to CostcoUse up at least one pantry itemSort out our nanny days off (her sister is getting married)Arrange some details for our relay next weekendCard/gift for birthday partyCard for my dad's birthdayWater plantsTake Sam to a birthday party/sleepover.
So happy I opted for yoga, as my back feels *much* better. I also made Nutella brownies (pantry use up challenge - two giant tubs of Nutella) & they are amazing. Highly recommend.
Saturday - steak salad (finally using the lonely steak from the freezer!) with caprese on the side
Sunday - beef kebabs & rice
Monday - "Asian night" - per my son's request. Basically like Chinese takeout, but mostly from Trader Joe's. :-)
Tuesday - Tacos
Wednesday - tortellini salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes & grilled chicken
Thursday - I'll be out of town. Assuming M & the kids will go out
Friday - I'll be out of town. Pizza or something from the freezer
Saturday - ditto.
And, there you have it! Happy Saturday!! What is the one item you have in your pantry that you'd like to use up? And, what are your plans to use it?? :-)
We used to do "Asian nights" with things from Trader Joe's! Potstickers, Mandarin Orange Chicken, Chicken Shumai, Vegetable Birds Nests and other goodies served with steamed rice. It was one of the girls' favorite, and easy for me to put together. I miss Trader Joe's!
ReplyDeleteWe ended up with samosas (not quite on theme, but Sam's favorite), spring rolls, gyozas, and postickers. Yum! Yes, Trader Joes is the best. Love it!
DeleteI have a bottle of fish sauce I need to buckle down and use. And a pouch of tempura batter I should just toss - can't see doing the deep fry thing ever, ever again!
ReplyDeleteI hear you - some things aren't worth trying to use! But, get to that fish sauce. ;-)
