Hello, friends! It’s that time again: Menu Monday. This week I’ll be cooking one of those meals from last week that didn’t happen, an old favorite and a brand new-to-me Instant Pot recipe. So let’s take a look at what’s cooking at our house this week:

DEE’S MENU
Monday
That slow cooker roast thing last week? Didn’t work out so I’m going to give it another shot.
- roast, onions and carrots in slow cooker
- mashed potatoes
- salad
Tuesday
My son is taking me to Norman for sushi! David will have leftover roast because he doesn’t *do* sushi.
Wednesday
I have a noon meeting and choir at 7 p.m. Sounds like a good night for an Instant Pot meal.
- Instant Pot Honey Mustard Curry Chicken
- rice
- steamed broccoli
- salad
Thursday
David and I are going to see “Arsenic and Old Lace” at a local theater that shows old movies. We love this one and it should be fun to see it on a big screen. It starts at 7 so we’ll need an easy, early dinner.
- Easy Cheesy Black Bean Enchiladas
- rice (will cook extra Wednesday night)
- chips and salsa
Friday
Lisa and I will be doing our March grocery shopping trip. We are going to try to be back a bit earlier than usual so we can eat at home. I’ll pick up something easy while shopping. Maybe a rotisserie chicken?
Saturday
We have two live music events this night. We’ll go out to dinner first and make a night of it.
Sunday
Since we’ll likely be out very late Saturday night we probably won’t make it to church. That does away with my favorite Sunday dinner plans – half of our Mexican food lunch which we’ve saved for dinner. I don’t really cook on Sundays if I can help it so we’ll have something simple like soup and sandwiches. Or I’ll send David to town for a pizza. 😉

Sounds like you have a busy week ahead of you. Hope you enjoy the shopping, as well as the music events and such. Go on, just send David for a pizza on Sunday… You know you want to! 😉
We had enchiladas last night. We didn’t have any beans, but hubby had got the fixings for enchiladas because he was having chicken ones, so I stuffed mine with cut up pieces of vegan sausage. I don’t have vegan sausage all the time, but had grabbed some a couple of weeks ago because I fancied a vegetarian/vegan version of sausage and chips, and still had some left. Sometimes things like that come in handy for quick meat substitutes… Like last night.
Tonight I’m having a vegetable pasty with sweet potato wedges and peas. I don’t know about the rest of the week though.
Ha! I think I’ll take your advice about the pizza. 🙂
Our son is currently eating vegetarian so I picked up a box of veggie patties when I was making burgers. He, of course, buys food and groceries to have at his house but I try to feed him a good meal a few times a week.
Yeah, there are plenty of vegetarian recipes out there, but those kinds of things are great quick options. My Nan (Dad’s Mother) used to make sure there were always some for me to have in place of the meat when I went to have dinner with her and my parents (this was several years ago, when I was still living in Wales).
