Weekly Menu - And just like that is is 2021


 

Wow, This is the first Menu of 2021.  Here's hoping it settles down some and gets back to normal at some point! 

Friday - New Years Day!  The original plan was to go to my mom's but we are getting a snow storm so we are staying home and eating all the snacks we didn't eat last night HA!  We made a last minute choice on Thursday to order pizza!!!  

So, as I'm thinking about the new menu, I'm struggling with wanting to plan and cook.  Sometimes that transition from year to year puts me into the "do nothing" mode.  Don't worry, it doesn't last for long - I just have to get back into my groove after the holidays.  I got an Air Fryer for Christmas that I want to learn to use and use well; I want to get back into better meal planning so that we eat a little healthier (veggies? What are those? LOL); I want to make sure that we continue to limit eating out while not over spending at the store. I also want to work my way through my recipes and keep what we love and maybe try some new things this year. Plus I got a new recipe book for Christmas that I want to use as well  Now, to figure out what to eat in the coming week HA !  

Saturday - So, today we are going to my mom's!  She makes ham and bean soup which I hate but Darryl loves HA!  I have Chicken Noodle Soup :-) .  

Sunday - Chicken Quesadillas for lunch.  We have kind of shifted our "eat out" night to Sunday right now - not sure if it will stay that way after this week but for dinner, we will get dinner out. 

Monday - Pork Chops, baked beans and salad

Tuesday - Tacos.  

Wednesday - Chicken Pasta and Spinach Soup - this is a new soup recipe I found a few weeks ago.  I might leave the spinach out so that at least one of my kids will eat it! and some yeast rolls 

Thursday - Stuffed Shells and Garlic bread.  This is a family favorite but we haven't had them in a long time!  I love them because they taste good AND they are super easy!
