Weekly Menu - The Unofficial Start of Summer

 And just like that it's summer.  Ok, not technically but it is the "unofficial start to summer" here in Michigan.  That is what Memorial Day does around here.  I guess because this means the snow is USUALLY done HA!  Time to plant flowers and make the yard look pretty for a month before it gets so hot that everything dies LOL!  Not sure how my brothers live in the South!! 

Here's the truth of menu planning this week - we have covid in the house so all of our plans this past week and into the holiday weekend were cancelled and we hare enjoying time at home.  I don't love grocery order/pick-up but I am using it this weekend!  Hopefully this will clear out in the next few days so we can count down to getting back to normal :-) 

Friday - Dr. Pepper Crock Pot Meatballs, Chips and Salsa and Fruit and Dip  

Saturday - Pulled Pork, Sweet Potatoes, and Corn

Sunday - Roast, Potatoes, and Green Beans 

Monday -  Brats, Corn on the Cob and Baked Beans, water melon  . . . . . plus a Summer Trifle 

Tuesday -  Josh and Nate have a piano recital so I think we will just grab something afterwards - if they are hungry (It's actually a student party for just the students so they can play for each other and have snacks and desserts so maybe they won't be hungry!) 

Wednesday -  French Toast Sticks and Bacon/Sausage

Thursday - BBQ Chicken and Fried Rice 

Weekly Menu

 Things are really settling down around here.  Music lessons are wrapping up; all of our extra stuff is winding down; school is almost done.  We are home most nights which is nice and it also makes cooking easier!  We still have a few things the next few weeks but otherwise, we are finding ourselves home more then we are not!  I'm looking forward to a slightly slower pace for a bit I think!  

Here's the plan for the coming week:

Friday: My neighbor gave us some ham leftover from a babyshower so the plan is ham, french fries and salad. 

Saturday - dinner at my mom's

Sunday - Burgers on the grill, chips and salsa and watermelon

Monday - Enchiladas, chips and salsa and salad

Tuesday - Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice and Shrimp Egg Rolls 

Wednesday - It's my mom's birthday!  Steak, Crash potatoes, Raspberry Pretzel Salad, Rolls and dessert! 

Thursday - Beef Stir-fry and Rice along with Wonton Soup 

Seems we have a slight Chinese Theme for Dinner this week - sometimes I don't notice that until I actually type it out here!  

Weekly Menu

 We are back from vacation (we had an amazing time) and we hit the ground running.  This week was state testing so I had to go into "the big city" (HA!) 4 days so, for real, lots of "running" to get my guys to their testing each day.  My mom helped us out with dinner one night, which was great, plus I attended a ladies event on one night too. Anyway, here's the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - I picked up "street tacos" at the store - it's a premade item so all we do is build the tacos.  We've had them before and really enjoy them.  

Saturday - My guys are taking me out for the afternoon as is our tradition! 

Sunday - Dinner at my mom's for mother's day. 

Monday - Skillet Turkey and Cauliflower Rice Bowl and chips and salsa

Tuesday - Chicken Chimichangas, Salad, and chips and salsa

Wednesday - Tonight is the last regular Youth Group which means we all eat at seperate times

Thursday - Garlic Shrimp and Risotto with peas. 

I'm using the Skinnytaste Website as my menu planner.  So far we've really enjoyed the recipes from the site and I'm enjoying trying some new things.
