Menu Plan Monday

 I'm hoping this week will be much less stressful than last week. A girl can dream, right? I have Thursday & Friday off of work, which I'm really looking forward to. 

  • Friday - wings & gyozos
  • Saturday - sesame chicken + rice (really liked this recipe, and it will go into the rotation).
  • Sunday - taco skillet (made into burritos for the teen). Eh, thought it needed more seasoning, & it was just "okay". Will likely not make again.  
  • Monday - spaghetti & meatballs
  • Tuesday - sesame chicken
  • Wednesday - butternut squash soup & either baguette or homemade foccacia
  • Thursday - Thanksgiving! We'll be having:
    • Pomegranate martinis/cider + goat cheese crostini (happy hour)
    • Steak
    • Mashed potatoes
    • Roasted acorn squash
    • Green beans
    • Chocolate cake/pumpkin pie. Nick & I are not pumpkin pie fans, and he's voted for the cake. M & Sam will have the traditional pie, with ice cream. 
  • Friday - Thanksgiving leftovers (minus the steak) + chicken for protein
What about you? What are you having this week?

    I don't many blogs but yours is always one that motivates and inspires me! I blogged many years ago and after reading how you're able to hold yourself accountable, I may start writing again as to keep myself accountable to my own goals. Keep up the great work!

      Oh, thanks! That's so lovely to hear. I appreciate it. And, good luck with your own goals! I really do find that it helps to write them down. The act of doing so seems to anchor it a bit more in my mind.

    I just have so much to do, and I think it will be a grab as you go week.

    Oh your Thanksgiving menu sounds terrific. I am a turkey fan and all your sides sound good with any protein.
