I completely forgot to plan my menu yesterday! Happy birthday to me! 😉 This week I probably need a menu more than most weeks and yet I’m least prepared! My company Velodyne Lidar is set to go public and I’m on the communications team, so I honestly feel like if we get cereal on the table it will be considered a win!  

MONDAY:

• Leftovers

TUESDAY:

• Takeout (I know this will be a busy work night)

WEDNESDAY:

• Chicken Pesto Pasta (using store bought pesto & rotisserie chicken!)

THURSDAY:

• Brats and Hot Dogs

FRIDAY:

• Caprese Salad with baguette and fresh fruit

SATURDAY:

• Takeout

SUNDAY:

• Grill night

Your turn! Share your meal plans below!

I truly cannot believe another week has passed and it’s time for planning again! We have two birthdays this week (mine and Owen’s…my baby is turning 9!). It’s a family celebration year for Owen and he requested Cheesecake Factory. It’s going to be a fun weekend and I plan to not cook! 😉

MONDAY:

• Enchiladas (using up the rest of our leftover carnitas!)

TUESDAY:

• Chicken Marsala with Mashed Potatoes & Salad

WEDNESDAY:

• Lasagna Baked Ziti

THURSDAY:

• Leftovers

FRIDAY:

• Dinner at Cheesecake Factory (my little birthday boy’s request!)

SATURDAY:

• Eat out to celebrate my birthday!

SUNDAY:

• Grill Night with Salad

Please share your own meal plan in the comments below. Thank you and have a delicious week!

Well, last week was a week. I did get to the store last weekend, but then didn’t do anything that was on the menu. Lots of random cooking, eating out and whatnot to survive a really draining week. The biggest casualty was the bag of bean sprouts we never used, so I consider life won.Thank goodness for non-perishable foods and the freezer. All of this to say there is a reason why this week’s menu looks a lot like last week’s. 😉 

MONDAY:

• Build-Your-Own Naan Pizzas

TUESDAY:

• Asian Spinach Pasta Salad

WEDNESDAY:

• Carnitas Tacos (slow cooker will be in the garage all day)

THURSDAY:

• BLATs

FRIDAY:

• Leftovers

SATURDAY:

• Local Takeout

SUNDAY:

• Grill Night (whatever we find that looks good at the store that day)
• Salad

Please share your own menu below! Thank you, you guys are the best!

Hello! I’m back! I never actually got to planning last week’s menu with our mini-vacation, and am so grateful some of you still shared yours. Thank you! I also sat down to plan this week’s menu and realized I totally didn’t follow the menu from two weeks ago, so I’m mostly just using that menu again. Might as well! Apparently I’m in summer mode and livin’ fast and easy with dinners. 

MONDAY:

• Red Beans and Rice (my 12 yo is taking an online cooking class and that is this week’s menu, so Anna is cooking dinner, fun!)

TUESDAY:

• Summer Frittata

WEDNESDAY:

• Gumbo

THURSDAY:

• Leftovers

FRIDAY:

• Caprese Paninis

SATURDAY:

• Local Takeout Night

SUNDAY:

• Island Pork with Coconut Sticky Rice with Salad

Tbank you in advance for sharing your own meal plan in the comments below. Have a good week, everyone!

Hey Guys! We took an impromptu weekend road trip, so I will create my menu tomorrow. But thought I’d at least put this post up in the meantime for those of you with your menus ready to go! Share in the comments below…and I’ll see you tomorrow! 

Hello! Wow, I only have one carry-over idea from last week…I actually cooked! Woohoo! My first foray into Thai food was delicious, especially the Pad Thai. I’ll share the recipe soon! Still working on my curry recipe…it was good but needs some tweaking.

MONDAY:

• Chicken Parmesan, Pasta and Salad
• A few quick notes: First, the recipe I linked to is old and before I knew how to write recipes, so, it’s a guide more than anything. One day I’ll have to do a legit chicken parm post. Second, due to my wheat allergy, I will be using Kikkoman GF Panko and Tinkayada Pasta Joy for my portions. Love both those products!

TUESDAY:

• Frittata because we have TONS of eggs from our chickens we need to use up! Will find ingredients at the store that look yummy to add to the frittata.

WEDNESDAY:

• Gumbo

THURSDAY:

• Leftovers

FRIDAY:

• Caprese Paninis

SATURDAY:

• Local Takeout Night

SUNDAY:

• Island Pork with Coconut Sticky Rice

Your turn! Share your menus in the comments below. Thank you and have a good, delicious, and safe week!

A few more carry-overs this week. Right now I am sick of the kitchen, I’ll admit it! But the show must go on…wish me luck! (And sending luck back to you if you’re in my boat!)

MONDAY:

TUESDAY:

• Boursin Turkey Baguettes

WEDNESDAY:
