How nice to see you back! And Owen is meal-planning and cooking for the fam- Fantastic!
I started making my menus on a Wed and shopping on Thu. Not sure why. Life just morphed that way and it works for us. I’ve found we have leftovers that often carry us a couple of days (especially now that it’s “soup season”) so this week my menu started on Saturday:
Sat: Salmon and tomato soup
Sun: Fish meatballs, green beans
Mon: BBQ chicken, corn
Tue: Sweet potato chowder
Wed: Maple balsamic pomegranate scallops, salad
I am late to the party, but there must be some meal prep vibes going, as we have been having carnitas on repeat. I made curried chicken salad and chicken pot pie soup for our lunches!
I love cooking with my son. He’s now 15 but it’s still really fun.
M: black bean & sweet potato enchiladas w/ salad
Tu: Happy Halloween! Ribs, corn on the cob, Mac & cheese, jalapeño poppers
W: pesto chicken & Alfredo sauce w/ spaghetti squash or pasta
Th: coconut curry shrimp w/ rice & vegs
F: Stromboli (using up l/o ingredients) & salad
Sa: pork chops, cheesy cauliflower mash, green beans
Su: friend’s birthday party
It was very cold this week. Did not really make a plan, just a list of 8-10 things I could make with what is on hand. So far:
— chili with cornbread
— hamburgers and fries
— baked trout and glazed carrots
— local Mexican place
— truffle mac, garden salad (last of the tomatoes)
— baked chicken with herbed orzo
— leftovers
Thinking of biscuits and gravy for Sunday breakfast.
Monday: Spaghetti with meatballs, salad and garlic bread
Tuesday: Carnitas tacos, you guys talked me into it 🙂
Wednesday: Chicken Tortellini Soup and Salad
Thursday: Meatball subs w/ leftover meatballs
Friday: Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (Pioneer Woman)
Saturday: Having friends over so need to think about it.
Have a wonderful week everyone.
You guys are all legit the best! THANK YOU!
I am late to the party, but there must be some meal prep vibes going.
