Menu Planning Monday

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
