I'm late to the party, but definitely need a plan for the week.
- Friday - I ate a really terrible burger & a salad at the Heathrow airport hotel on Friday night, "courtesy" of United. I splurged & ordered a glass of wine, which I most certainly will be expensing through work. No idea what M & Sam ate, although I'm guessing Sam ate at work.
- Saturday - M was ready to make burgers (ha, he didn't know about my Friday dinner fiasco), but I wasn't hungry & my eating schedule was all off. Instead, we opted to drink a glass of wine by the pool & go to bed early. No dinner for me.
- Sunday - the burgers were back for round 2, and M grilled them & we made them with tater tots, lingering in the freezer from an event with Nick's friends.
- Monday - taco salads (taco meat from the freezer
- Tuesday - leftover burgers
- Wednesday - leftover taco salads
- Thursday - grilled chicken salad
- Friday - I may be getting together with my old boss for drinks at her place. If not, I'll keep it very easy, and likely make some gyozas from the freezer.
What about you? What's on your menu plan this week? Would love a few good fall recipe ideas!
I just threw vegetables and broth in the crockpot and have an odd amount of pasta so soup for a couple nights, with other freezer finds like the two premade, but raw, chicken cordon bleu. I'm thawing a full chicken too, which likely will take until Wednesday then I'll figure out what to do with it after roasting.
ReplyDeleteI need to be better about working my way through the freezer, but it's a random assortment of things. It's going to take some effort. - HP
DeleteAfter all your travels preparing food would be at the bottom of my to do list.
ReplyDeleteI found the taco meat in the freezer, so the actual work tonight is cutting up a tomato & pulling out a bag of pre-shredded cheese. It's the laziest meal ever. ;-) - HP
DeleteI'm going to have grilled chicken salads this week too and would also like to do a taco salad.
ReplyDeleteI like grilled chicken salad, and tend to have that for lunch a lot. - HP
DeleteThis week I am making a mini shepherd's pie, a fajita salad, some tilapia, and some baked chicken. Most of it is super simple. Cooking four nights out of 7 is my new limit!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love fajitas on salad. Your rule of cooking 4/7 nights makes total sense to me! - HP
DeleteNothing worse than a bad burger.
ReplyDeleteWe got to take her to EFFIE Burger Kim, right?
ReplyDeleteRight? It's not hard to get right, so it's especially disappointing when it's not good. The wine, however, was great, as were the fries. So, small wins, I suppose. - HP
DeleteI am having minor oral surgery tomorrow so probably soup, ice cream, scrambled eggs, and mashed potatoes.I am in my I don’t care mode. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteHope the oral surgery goes well! - HP
DeleteMy menu is posted, but it is nothing special. Just trying to use up things that need to be gone from the freezers.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm with you. That's very much what I need to focus on this week as well. I did manage to pull the buns out of the freezer for the burgers, as well as taco meat for the remaining meals, so a few things came out, I suppose. - HP
