I made more whoopie pies. I told you I was going to. I halved the recipe, so I only made 13 whoopie pies this batch. Which is what I should have done…but I am kind of wishing I had made 26. Then I could have eaten them for every meal this weekend, not just breakfast. đ
I’m impressed with all of you…even though it’s the lazy, hazy days of summer, you’re still bringing out the menus every week and keeping me on my game!
MONDAY:
– Homemade Macaroni and Cheese (Anna’s request…will be using this Martha Stewart recipe, but there are a bunch of reader-submitted recipes here if you want to browse through them)
– Salad
TUESDAY:
– Chicken Tostadas
WEDNESDAY:
– A night on the grill (hot dogs, hamburgers)
– Corn on the cob, watermelon
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Sausage, Pepper & Onion Hoagies
– Fresh fruit
SATURDAY:
– Eat out
SUNDAY:
– Breakfast for dinner…TBD!
Bring on the menus!
Hi! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
Blah blah. It’s hot. Blah blah. No big news since we’re all in the same boat! Looking forward to some pool/beach time!
Sunday: Grilled chicken sandwiches on homemade rolls and sweet potato fries (family request!)
Monday: Black bean burgers on homemade rolls
Tuesday: Meatball subs on homemade hoagie rolls (1 batch of rolls, three dinners! Ha!)
Wednesday: Hopefully a BBQ with friends!!
Thursday: Chicken, sweet potato and black bean wraps
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Out.
Hey! I’m back. Wow, it’s really been a while since I’ve submitted a meal plan. My husband has been out of town for the last 6 weeks on business, and it’s looking like he might be gone for the rest of the summer. I thought it was hard to cook and plan for two, but one is so much harder. I’ve had no desire to cook more than scrambled eggs and veggie burgers, but I am hoping a plan and some variety will help to make the summer go more quickly. I am trying some new recipes from a book I got for Christmas (Cooking Light: Way to Cook Vegetarian). They are in no order:
~Broccoli Casserole (I’m gonna throw in some tofu I have leftover in the fridge as well), roasted brussel sprouts, salad
~Mexican Casserole (leaving out the fake meat and doubling the beans), fresh corn on the cob, salad
~Lentil & Edamame Stew, Salad, bread of some kind
Stay cool folks!!!

My in-laws will be here on Monday and staying thru Sunday. It is way to hot for me to try to impress my mother in law with my cooking skills. I donât want to be in a hot kitchen so here is my plan for their visit:
MondayâSub sandwiches with lots of veggies, fruit salad, cheeseball and crackers
TuesdayâOut to eat at our favorite seafood place
WednesdayâToo hot to grill outside. Ribs in the crockpot, baked beans in the smaller crockpot, cole slaw, corn o the cob. Strawberry shortcakes for dessert
ThursdayâTeriyaki Chicken in the crockpot, rice, green beans and lemon lush
Fridayâ Baked potato soup with mexican cornbread then go out for ice cream
SaturdayâRoast with potatoes, carrots and onions in the crock pot, some whole wheat honey bread in the bread machine, apple pie from the bakery and I will make some wipped cream.
Sundayâ the in laws will be gone by dinner time so we will just eat all of the leftovers from the week

No menu to share since we are leaving town shortly, but I just had to say that I’m so glad you are making whoopie pies so frequently and that you like them! I really don’t understand what all the hate for whoopie pies is about (not just yours, but some of the commenters). I will be trying your recipe when we return! I will also be trying at least one of the homemade mac & cheese recipes. So far, I am a homemade mac & cheese maker failure, but I would love to find one that likes me. đ
