It's definitely going to be a busy week, with Nick's soccer banquet, me shadowing a class I'll be teaching in April, a soccer mom get together, and Nick & I don't get back from Colorado until tomorrow!
Having a menu plan is a small step towards keeping me (mostly) sane during a busy week. When we are gone, M typically has fish & salad. He's a man of routine. ;-)
- Friday - lounge food for me + Nick, followed by pizza at our friend's house. Mahi mahi for M
- Saturday - at a friend's house
- Sunday - at a friend's house
- Monday - Nick & I will eat at the lounge ahead of our flight home
- Tuesday - chicken satay + rice, after I finish my class
- Wednesday - soccer mom get together. Fajita chicken (from the freezer for M + Nick)
- Thursday - leftover chicken satay
- Friday - all of us will be eating at the soccer banquet
What about you? Any wins to share?
I needed a major stock up so spent a lot yesterday, but now can just top off and buy loss leaders. I splurged on three petite sirloin steaks. I don't often get a craving for one, but the price was not horrific for what they were and definitely less than going out for one. Those will be tonight with salad and baked potatoes. I haven't thought much farther ahead- maybe curry for Thursday as my daughter gets her dog picked up, homemade pizza another, pasta of some sort.
ReplyDeleteRight now I feel over my head in the on-going garage project. But actually, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Dinners will be easy. When I am not eating out, I will be re-heating a cheesy chicken chili I froze in January. Present me appreciates the hard work of past me. (: Safe travels to you!
ReplyDeleteNothing major here, just scored some markdowns at Kroger.
ReplyDeleteI plan on coleslaw, grapes, finishing off the blackberries, sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, wedge salads with homemade blue cheese dressing, tomato sandwiches on sourdough bread, baked potatoes and baked carrots. I am not sure about meat, maybe shrimp or tuna fish sandwich. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteSo far I am sticking to cleaning out the fridge freezer. I hope to manage to get loads cleared out over the next couple of weeks, perhaps even longer. I also need to use up those meals I prepared before hand so perhaps I can stretch my challenge for another week.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Friday was a fancy salmon dinner to welcome Daughter home for spring break. I also made a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and homemade ice cream. Saturday was a roast chicken, Sunday cottage pie with the leftovers because I couldn’t be bothered to cook. Going forward we will have pasta, fish and chips, salmon again (daughter is now a pescatarian, doncha’ know) beef (or vegetarian) burritos, and perhaps a night out. Kids want a repeat of our Christmas dinner out, and DH is all for it , though he doesn’t want to join us. I am not sure I want to face that bill again, for all the food and service was great and we had a ball!
