In Freezer Challenge news, I was able to use up the chicken nuggets, taquitos & one of the two frozen pizzas while we were at the house, so I'll consider that a win.
Here's our menu plan for the week:
- Saturday - we had lasagna & salad
- Sunday - we made risotto out of leftovers from the meat & cheese tray. It was so delish!
- Monday - steak, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts & sauteed mushrooms
- Tuesday - we're flying home, so I will pack sandwiches for everyone.
- Wednesday - kebabs (from the freezer) & rice
- Thursday - chicken fiesta rice + guacamole
- Friday - we are going skiing, so we will bring something with us to the cabin we're staying in. I'm thinking maybe I'll make chili, or we'll bring a frozen lasagna or pizza. Something easy!
- Saturday - we'll be coming back from skiing, so probably leftover chicken fiesta rice
What about you? What's on your menu plan for the week?
Good job! This week we are (hopefully) using up the last of everything we bought when we moved in to our Airbnb. Beginning tonight we're having pasta with ham, spinach and peppers; chili pork burritos tomorrow; chicken with Thai red curry sauce and rice on Wednesday; going out for pizza on Thursday; teriyaki chicken and rice on Friday; and on our last night, Saturday, PokPok chicken wings (or at least I hope so). We are starting to run out of things, and all the girls will be here this week, so we have a good chance of making sure it's all gone when we go!
ReplyDeleteHope you are using everything up! Next time I'm in Portland, I'll have to check out PokPok - Sam loves chicken wings!
DeleteI have an odd week as well-trying to get ahead of the weekend and not relaying on fast food or sandwiches, unless made at home sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteYes! We sometimes make paninis for sandwiches on the road, and they are a bit easier to eat vs the toppings sliding around a bit. I think we're going to make chili to bring with us. Yum!
DeleteHello!!!!! I have so much to catch up on!! Thank you for the menu -- it's been so hard to figure out what to eat lately. I'm back blogging again and would love to have you join me! midlifebalancedmoney.blog.
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
Welcome back to blogging!
DeleteYour menu sounds good. Do you mind sharing what "chicken fiesta rice" is or how to make it? Sounds like something I would like. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely! It's actually called One Pan Chicken Fajita Rice. Here's the recipe -

I am looking forward to being home and setting up a New year of routines and goals and plans.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I had a fabulous vacation, but love the start of new routines & goals!
