    Week 701 Weekly Menu

    This Week for Dinner Thanksgiving Bouquet

    THANKSGIVING IS THIS WEEK HOW IS THIS SO?!?!? Miraculously I graduated from the hard splint from my hand surgery, so while my thumb doesn’t work yet and I still have to be careful, I will be able to help cook Thanksgiving dinner! The girls and Nate are ready to help with the cooking this year. While I’m sad we won’t be with extended family (COVID!), I think it will be a special year, all of us cooking together in the kitchen. I did make a few store-bought modifications to our menu to simplify cooking, but for the most part we are still cooking up our usual feast!

    Week 698 Weekly Menu

    WOW. I completely spaced planning and posting a menu last week. I didn’t even realize until Wednesday or Thursday! This probably is a good indication of where our family is with dinner these days…flying by the seat of our pants! I am still unable to cook, so we’re utilizing Costco and Trader Joe’s meals to at least make it feel a little like eating dinner at home instead of just takeout all the time. Here’s a go at a menu…

    MONDAY:

    • Pesto Chicken Pasta

    TUESDAY:

    WEDNESDAY:

    • Homemade Hamburgers
