We are home from our very quick trip to Utah. It is great to have our son home and all of us together under one roof. It will be short lived, however, because in 3 months he will be leaving to serve a mission for our church in Mexico City. He will be gone for 2 years. In the meantime, we will enjoy having our biggest eater home. It's fun to make meals that someone will try.
Monday: turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy
Tuesday: turkey fajitas
Wednesday: spaghetti squash and meatballs
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: turkey burgers and hot dogs
Saturday: date night
Sunday: BBQ

Menu Planning Monday
This is going to be a quick week for meal planning. We are headed to Utah to pick up our son from college. I cannot believe he has already finished the year. We will see what being home will feel like now that his old room is lavendar and occupied by his 16 year old sister.
Last week I enjoyed the asian lettuce wraps. I had never ground up my chicken before. However, I had purchased the Ninja from Sam's Club and it worked like a dream. The recipe was simple enough and I will probably make them again. Since I will be very limited on time, my meals are going to be super simple. No new recipes this week and with the heat, we need to get back to the crock pot and the grill.
Monday: grilled chicken
Tuesday: crock pot pork roast
Wednesday: leftovers
Thursday: Utah
Friday: Utah
Saturday: Utah
Sunday: Easter Feast

My favorite meal this week was the grilled pesto shrimp and veggie salad. I sauteed the shrimp instead of grilling it. I absolutely love pesto and Costco sells a fantastic one. We didn't end of making the asian lettuce wraps, and I am interested to see how grinding up the chicken works.
Monday: asian lettuce wraps
Tuesday: mahi wraps
Wednesday: orange chicken
Thursday: chicken and broccoli pasta
Friday: turkey burgers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: enchilladas

Menu Planning Monday
The week flew by, just as I expected it would. This week should give me a little more time to maybe try something new. My son was home from school for the weekend and we did a lot of cooking on Sunday. So, I am a little worn out from that. I did make these unbelievable brownies. There is not one left. The entire pan is gone. I saw people licking their plates.
Monday: leftover pork roast
Tuesday: bbq chicken salad
Wednesday: spinach ravioli
Thursday:asian lettuce wraps
Friday: grilled pesto shrimp and veggie salad
Saturday: date night
Sunday: TBA
