We were lazy & ordered Greek takeout on Friday (also celebrating that M had a great interview day), and with me starting a new job, we definitely need a menu plan so this doesn't turn into a trend.
- Friday - delicious Greek takeout. I had a gyro bowl
- Saturday - leftover Korean beef & rice
- Sunday - Philly cheesesteaks
- Monday - chicken fajitas
- Tuesday - M & Nick will be in Boulder, so Sam & I will probably have a frozen pizza, like the party animals we are
- Wednesday - chicken fajitas over salad
- Thursday - leftovers
- Friday - likely grilled hot dogs or burgers, for the 4th of July
What about you? What's on your menu plan this week?
I'd love Greek options closer. There's not many in the twin cities period. Nothing wrong with a frozen pizza. There's some that are quite good especially when compared to some of the "fast food" pizza places.
ReplyDeleteYou party animal you! 😂
ReplyDeleteGreek takeout sounds delicious.
Best of luck to M after his great interview.
I wish the few reasonably priced restaurants around here were good. All we really have are Mexican places, loads of them, some better than others, and only one delivers. Other than the one (and pricy)restaurant we have on the island, I really have a hard time getting motivated to go to a restaurant. (Drive, cost, mediocre food and lousy service.) Anyway, Friday was cold and rainy so I made a pot roast. Last night it was only four of us as we had some kids at Seattle Pride for the night so we had fish (butterfly shrimp, really) and chips, and youngest baked a pink strawberry cake with Chantilly frosting. (Okay, I actually made the frosting as it’s finicky.) Tonight is a roast chicken. Going forward in no order we will have leftover pot roast in some form (cottage pie) baked salmon, tuna pasta salad, tortilla soup with the leftover chicken (if there is any) and maybe a lasagna. I made a batch of ginger cookies which got rave reviews, and I have a request for peanut butter cookies. I don’t want to jinx myself, but I feel my cooking mojo returning.

I agree frozen pizza can be good. We usually take a Trader Joe's roasted veggies pizza and add things like sausage & more veggies to it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes take out is the right choice!
ReplyDeleteOver here I'm menu planning for two granddaughters, one who is very very picky. So, I'll be doing a lot of build-your-own meals to allow each to enjoy what they wish, and ignore what they don't care for.
It's strange to have so much food in the house, though! Their visit on top of making dinner tonight for my book club. I have a pot roast slow cooking, green beans ready to steam, and a ricotta orange amaretto pound cake cooling on the counter for dessert.
