Menu Plan Monday

 Menu planning, the return to the office edition! Hello Fresh accidentally mailed us another box (the same one as last week), as they thought it got lost in delivery. You may notice some duplicates as a result.

  • Friday - Italian chicken sandwiches & roasted potatoes
  • Saturday - tacos
  • Sunday - barbecued hot dogs & pasta salad
  • Monday - turkey rice bowls
  • Tuesday - leftover hot dogs & pasta salad
  • Wednesday - tacos
  • Thursday - Italian chicken sandwiches & roasted potatoes, take 2
  • Friday - leftovers
What about you? What's on your menu this week?

  1. You are making good use of the extra box, and does that mean your Nick will help with the cooking? I am going to make a pasta salad at some point this week, thinking it will go well with Greek Chicken.

    1. I really wish Nick was cooking again, but he is home too late with tennis activities. Maybe once tennis ends again.

      I love pasta salad, but only two of us eat it, so I tend not to make it much. I was really craving potato salad, so bought a small container at Trader Joes instead, & it was great.

    1. Oh, banana bread sounds so good! Maybe I'll ask my mom to make her famous banana bread when she's in town in a few weeks!

  3. Hey double delivery, hopefully for the price of one.

    1. Yes, the second box was free! It was definitely a frugal win, although it would have been nice to get a variety of meals. Beggars can't be choosers, however! :)

  4. Do you enjoy Hello Fresh? I have often thought about getting it for a month or two just for the new recipes.

    God bless.

    1. I do actually enjoy it, but the waste is a little hard to manage. The produce & meat has standard packaging,but there are often really tiny containers of say sour cream, or whatever, and it makes me feel bad to toss those after, particularly if I have an open tub in my fridge.

    2. I may have a free box offer to share, so let me know if you want me to pass it along.

  5. Sometimes it's just a nice break to have someone else plan & shop for the meals. I like removing the ongoing battle of askingn my family for feedback, and then getting "whatever" in response to meal suggestions ;-)
