Week 586 Weekly Menu
Reports are starting to come in…my friend Mindy made fresh masa tortillas the day after I published my post and my eye doctor made them yesterday, using masa from the same market where I buy masa. Both Mindy and Dr. Hom are converted. I promise I’m not exaggerating about how delicious fresh masa tortillas are…if you haven’t read my fresh masa post, here’s a link!
Enough tortilla talk, time for this week’s menu…which is a bit shorter for us because we leave Thursday for our east coast trip! A Toyota Highlander will be waiting for us when we land in Boston and this time we’ll hang out for a day in Boston before heading to Cape Cod. I can’t wait to show my kids our college town!
Everything on this week’s menu was on last week’s menu…I didn’t cook as much as I thought I would last week, and I really stretched out the carnitas for a few meals.
MONDAY:
– Grilled BBQ Chicken
– SaladTUESDAY:
– Pesto Pasta
– SaladWEDNESDAY:
– BLTsTHURSDAY:
– Airport foodFRIDAY:
– Dinner in Boston somewhereSATURDAY:
– Sweet Tomatoes Pizza on Cape CodSUNDAY:
– Don’t know yet!Please share your own menus in the comments below, we need your inspiration since I’m entering travel mode!

Since it’s going to be pretty warm this week and we’re all craving wholesome food, we’re going heavy on salads and summer-friendly meals for the weekly menu.

Week 583 Weekly Menu
Hello meal planning friends! SO….this week Nate and I are heading to Sweden to spend some time with my parents, siblings and sister-in-law. My dad was born in Stockholm and none of his children have been to Sweden, so now we are all finally going together…without kids! I keep joking that the plane ride with Nate will feel like an extended date. 😉
My in-laws are coming to watch the kids and for the first few days it’s just my (angelic) father-in-law holding down the fort, so we’re picking simple and easy meals for them to prepare together this week.
MONDAY:
– Pesto Chicken PastaTUESDAY:
– Eat outWEDNESDAY:
– Spaghetti
– SaladTHURSDAY:
– English Muffin PizzasFRIDAY:
– Hot dogs
– WatermelonSATURDAY:
– Eat outSUNDAY:
– Trader Joe’s Frozen Mac & Cheese
– SaladI’m going to buy a few other prepared dinner items from Trader Joe’s and I think that should keep everyone covered on the home front. Everyone wish Grampa Herms good luck!
You all know the drill, please post your menu in the comments below! And if I disappear for the next two weeks know it’s because we are thoroughly enjoying Midsummer in Sweden!
