Weekly Menu - The one where summer unofficially begins

 Memorial Day tends to sneak up on me some years and this year is one of those years!  I'm looking forward to the nice long weekend . .. the unofficial kick-off to summer . .. with some plans to get a few things done and hopefully get some fun family time in too.  Our menu this week will have some of the same items that were on last weeks because I ended up making some changes due to leftovers and, well, getting take out one night that wasn't planned after mowing the lawn on the most humid night of the week!  (I was DONE and didn't want to cook dinner!) 

Friday - Our weekly take out night (well, it's supposed to be the once a week take out night!! Sometimes we accidently eat out twice HA!) 

Saturday - Shrimp Quesadillas.  I'll also have stuff to make both chicken and cheese in case my new recipe from Pioneer Woman doesn't taste as good as it sounds! Chili's Copycat Skillet Queso (YUM!)

Sunday - It's usually pizza night - I'm not sure what we will do yet as our top pizza lover (Josh) has a youth activity on Sunday night.  So, will we get pizza?  Do Leftovers?  Get $5.00 taco bell boxes?  I'm not sure and we probably won't decide until Sunday night! 

Monday - Memorial Day!  My mom is cooking for Memorial Day.  Yeah!  I like to do brunch on holidays since we usually have our main meal mid-to-late afternoon instead of at normal dinner time.  Brunch will be Sausage Balls, Fruit and Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastry, Quiche Lorraine Bites, bacon cream cheese roll-ups, and a cheese ball and crackers.  

Tuesday - Chicken Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and gravy and corn

Wednesday - Pork Loin, baked potatoes, broccoli and crescents

Thursday - Mexican Street Tacos, Salad, and Chips and Salsa
