    Week 729 Weekly Menu

    Hello! This week I’m only one day late and a dollar shot. Progress! Last week the company I work for ended up hosting a large virtual conference the same week as quarterly earnings and announcing a new CEO…and I was involved in the communications for all of it. I ended up cooking only one of our Hello Fresh kits (well, actually, my 13-yo cooked it), so this week we have a lot of Hello Fresh meals to eat. Fine by me! (And no, actually, this blog is not sponsored by Hello Fresh.)

    Week 728 Weekly Menu

    HELLO. Whoah boy. 2021 has been a year. I have missed you all the last month or so. I know everyone is busy and life is hard, but for real the past several months have been a doozy in our household. All is well, but cooking dinner has fallen by the wayside and I have been dropping balls left and right, including my weekly menu planning. One of you wonderful people sent me an email this week to check in and make sure everything is okay, which was beyond sweet and thoughtful.

    Week 728 Weekly Dinner Menu

    SO. My menu is late this week. But I’m just gonna get it published and try to hop back on this meal train! I have always firmly believed that planning and shopping at the start of the week makes life so much better. So, in the interest of my own sanity, I am going to get back to it. 

    MONDAY:

    • Smoked brisket with salad and cornbread

    TUESDAY:

    • Leftovers

    WEDNESDAY:

    • Rubio’s and Panda Express (real talk, y’all)

    THURSDAY:

    • Hello Fresh to the rescue! Italian chicken over lemony spaghetti

    FRIDAY:

    • More Hello Fresh! Sweet chili pork bowls

    SATURDAY:

    • Hello Fresh again! Mushroom chive risotto

    SUNDAY:

    • Smoked pork shoulder

    I appreciate all of you so much! I love our little corner of the web here on This Week for Dinner. Can’t wait to see your menus and “see” all of you each week once again.
