Oh man! I stress out when I’m traveling and set up meals for the family in my absence. 🙂 We keep some “emergency” Trader Joe’s frozen meals on-hand for just such an occasion. I also found sheet pan meals are “so easy, a Dad can do it” (his words; not mine!).
Sunday: “Fend For Yourself Night” after studio dance competition
Monday: Skillet Tortellini with Sausage and Tomatoes (ATK Meal Prep)
Tuesday: Parmesan Chicken with Cherry Tomato Salad (ATK) before 4th grade Lion King production!
Wednesday: Chicken & Rice with Chorizo and Artichokes
Thursday: Prosciutto-wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Lemon Broccolini (ATK)
Friday: French Bread Pizzas
Saturday: Out.
Sun: Ribollita (got the idea while re-watching Stanley Tucci’s Italian food documentary), corn on the cob
Mon: homemade steamed bbq pork buns (with extra char siu I made a few weeks ago) & steamed Chinese sausage buns, frozen xiao long bao, steamed broccoli
Tues: grilled whole fish with braised radicchio in anchovy sauce (Lidia Bastianich recipes)
Wed: leftover ribollita, green salad
Thurs: leftover Chinese buns
Fri: takeout
Sat: lamb with lentils (recipe from Bon Appetit magazine)
Meal prep time got reduced for me this Friday, so our meals for this week had to be simple:
Instant Pot baker potatoes and toppings
Big batch white beans and pumpkin muffins
Curried cauliflower tacos with pineapple salsa
After we run out of those, we’ll be doing take-out or throwing something together.
Travel safely!

Looks like we hit a wall here — 403 and all. Might be time for a quick break from analyzing facial aesthetics on PSL Scale anyway; sometimes the best reading is no reading at all.
Planning meals around travel weeks is such a smart way to keep things practical, and having a few go-to backup options makes Sunday cooking easier. For anyone who also enjoys watching activity in the yard while the smoker runs, state and season field guides from Birdly Yard can help you notice which local birds visit while you focus on the menu.
