Summer Break! Drop Menus Here!
Hello foodie friends! I am crying “Uncle!” and going to take a summer break from meal planning (since I basically am already). We aren’t eating out a ton or anything, but we are taking a very relaxed approach to dinner each night. I haven’t ever officially taken a summer blog break from planning my weekly menu…it feels weird but also a bit refreshing. I think by the time school gets started, the break will have me ready to get planning weekly again.
Until then, please feel free to drop your menus on this post all summer long. It can be our summer resource weekly menu spot.
Happy summer! Happy eating fresh produce!

Week 747 Weekly Menu
Long time no talk! I took a break on Mother’s Day, and then last week I just inadvertently took a break from meal planning…and cooking for that matter. I must admit, making dinner has been a real struggle lately, and it is only going to get worse these last weeks of school. I’m going to go ahead and make this plan and then be kind to myself should things go off the rails, again. Wish me luck!
MONDAY:
- Panda Village (this is our local plaza with a Panda Express, Rubio’s and Jersey Mikes affectionately known to my kids as Panda Village – choose your own adventure!)
TUESDAY:
WEDNESDAY:
THURSDAY:
- Bistro Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Salad
FRIDAY:
- Leftovers
SATURDAY:
