Week 726 Weekly Dinner Menu
Hey everyone. The last two weeks we’ve been dealing with COVID-19 in our home. Nate, Anna (13) and I all came down with COVID-19 (yes, we are all vaccinated and, yes, we were all symptomatic). First off, I am so grateful we are all coming out of this healthy. Secondly, I am grateful we were vaccinated because I definitely would not have wanted symptoms to be worse. COVID-19 really threw Nate and I for a loop! Bottom line, whether or not you are vaccinated, be careful out there! Wear a mask! Wash your hands! Watch out for eating indoors at restaurants (the source of our cases).
Last Sunday I was probably asleep in a tent in the backyard, hence no menu. I also did not cook all week – we relied on ready-made meals delivered by my wonderful sister-in-law, Cora. Today I actually feel more like myself again and am looking forward to getting back to work, hugging my kids as much as I want, and making food for our family!
MONDAY:
- Crispy Parmesan Chicken (Hello Fresh)
TUESDAY:
- Thai Coconut Pork Meatballs (Hello Fresh)
WEDNESDAY:
- Slow Cooker Sweet Korean BBQ Beef (gonna do rice bowls this time)
THURSDAY:
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:
- Takeout
SUNDAY:
- Grill Night
One more thing…Hello Fresh vs. Blue Apron!
For those of you wondering if I like Hello Fresh or Blue Apron better…I ended up giving two weeks of Blue Apron meals to my sister-in-law (thanks, COVID). The meals we DID have were delicious. I like Hello Fresh’s packaging much better, though, and I think the meals are a little more successful for every member of the family. Plus Hello Fresh has more choices each week. So, Hello Fresh is the winner for me! Also, they give me better referral deals…let me know if you want a free box in the comments, I currently have six to give away! You can also get $100 off if you join at this link.
Your turn to share your weekly meal plan in the comments below! Have a healthy week and stay safe!

MONDAY:
- Sweet and Spicy Chicken Stir Fry
TUESDAY:
- Cheesy Pork Chorizo Enchiladas
WEDNESDAY:
- Garlic Caper Chicken
THURSDAY:

SATURDAY:

Let’s see those menus, you guys are the best!

Week 722 Weekly Dinner Menu
Hello! Long time no talk! In the 14+ years of writing this blog, I have never taken a summer break from meal planning. But this year, with my hand and two somewhat complicated trips (including getting a puppy!), I gave myself some space and it was the right thing to do. But now it’s back to real life, including the weekly menu! I am allowed to start using my hand like “normal” again this week, so cooking is in our near future! (Thumb update: I can bend the joint, it’s still not normal, and it will take quite some time to see the ultimate result…but we’re making progress!)
MONDAY:
TUESDAY:
WEDNESDAY:
THURSDAY:
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:
- Takeout Night
SUNDAY:
- Smoked Meat Night with Salad
Your turn! Share those meal plans, no matter how plain or fancy! Have a great week, everyone! It’s good to be. back!
