You guys. I sat down to do my menu THREE HOURS AGO. I decided to write a quick post about my new favorite pectin and ended up going down a very deep freezer jam rabbit hole, writing the new post and updating old ones. My back kind of hurts and now I have to do my grocery shopping tonight instead of this morning, but it was worth it. Click here for my new freezer jam post, that turned out to be a true labor of love! And now finally on to my meal plan for the week!
Please note that my consistent weekly meal planning is not a sign of bliss…I am 100% sick of my kitchen, but am trying to maintain that sometimes elusive “attitude of gratitude” to get me through the meal-planning-and-cooking quarantine grind. It’s mostly working. 😉
MONDAY:
– Enchiladas
TUESDAY:
– Homemade Pizza
WEDNESDAY:
– Zesty Grilled Salmon
– Wild Rice and Salad
THURSDAY:
– Homemade Cheeseburgers
FRIDAY:
– Local Takeout
SATURDAY:
– Grill Night + Salad
SUNDAY:
– Buffalo Wings
– Salad and Fries (gonna pick up in the freezer section!)
You guys were amazing last week, so many menus to inspire me as I planned today. Thank you! Keep the menus coming! Share your weekly (daily? monthly? whateverly!) menu in the comments below!
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!
I’m to the point of just making a big batch of meals all at once and seeing how long they last. Decision fatigue is less and cleanup is consolidated. We’ll see how these week goes….
On tap:
Southwestern pot pie
Tuna pasta salad
Taco pasta salad
(It’s getting hot where I live, so we’re attempting to adapt menus accordingly.)
Thanks for your meal planning inspiration!
