Week 593 Weekly Menu…and HELLO 40!
This week brings my FORTIETH BIRTHDAY. 40. Wow. It’s also Owen’s 7th birthday! We started celebrating this weekend and the celebrations continue this week. So basically I’m a mess in the meal planning department. But I figure you only turn 40 once, seems like a good excuse to slack off for a week! So, my menu is kind of lame…but I’m at least getting this post published so you guys can share your menus. I’m not even bothering with my usual menu graphic because my menu is straight up useless. As a 40th birthday menu should be! 😉
MONDAY:
– Leftovers from eating at Liberty Public MarketTUESDAY:
– I am taking Owen to Disneyland to celebrate our special day!
– No clue what Nate and the girls will eat. 😉WEDNESDAY:
– It’s Owen’s family year (no friend party), he has requested PF Chang’s (i.e. dumplings) for his special family dinnerTHURSDAY:
– No clueFRIDAY:
– No clueSATURDAY:
– No clueSUNDAY:
– No clueHA! The laziest menu I’ve ever written! I’m so proud!
For real, we REALLY need you all to post your menus this week. Please provide us with much needed inspiration! Have a great week!

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!
