I love it when I can get a bunny sous-chef to help me in the kitchen on a busy Sunday morning.
Another week, another menu. I honestly don’t know where the time goes. And I know I say that pretty much every week, but I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it!
MONDAY:
- Homemade pizzas, flavors TBD
TUESDAY:
- Pulled pork sandwiches topped with cole slaw
WEDNESDAY:
- Chicken Soup with Rice
THURSDAY:
- I’m having oral surgery on Thursday…so leftover soup from Wednesday
FRIDAY:
- Eat out (I’m anticipating not feeling like cooking much after Thursday)
SATURDAY:
- Tuscan Tomato Soup (again, thinking post-surgery…easy recipe, and easy to eat, hopefully!)
SUNDAY:
- Breakfast for Dinner
Wish me luck Thursday! I’m a little scared of the recovery…hope I can still eat! Since my menu is kinda, sorta lame this week, can’t wait to see what you all have planned! Bring on the menus!

While I love the Tuscan Tomato Soup, you might want to think of something different for your healing mouth. It may not be a problem but to anticipate that soup and then to have it hurt would be a very sad thing to endure. Good luck this week!
I was just thinking “soup” but after I published the menu, I was thinking the tomato might be bothersome…honestly, I might just make tons of chicken soup with rice and eat that for a few days!!
pasta salad/garlic bread sticks
crockpot teriyaki chicken/twice baked potatoes/green beans
leftover chicken on kaiser rolls/cole slaw/raw veggies
quiche loraine/hashbrowns/fruit salad
lemon garlic tilapia/cheesey rice and broccoli casserole/honey carrots
grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup
whatever Dad wants to make-Mom’s night off
