Menu Monday ~ September 24, 2018

September 24, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Did you notice the lack of a menu post last week? David was out of town on business all week so I didn’t plan a menu.

I don’t recall what I ate Monday. Lisa and I did our monthly grocery shopping on Tuesday and I just fixed myself a sandwich at about 9 p.m. after I got all the groceries put away. On Wednesday I fixed baked beans, corn on the cob and roasted veggies for Chris and myself. I had a meeting Thursday evening and went to see my parents afterwards. I just grabbed a chicken sandwich at Burger King in between.

David got home in time on Friday for us to go out to dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant. We ended up sitting at the bar to eat and it was one of those nights where we knew nearly everyone in the place – lots of fun! Saturday night David offered to pick up burgers and I took him up on it because I had been working all day. Then yesterday we went out of Mexican food after church. David went to Music in the Park (we are in charge of this event) and he ate at the food truck there. I had a lot of work to do so I didn’t go. I wasn’t very hungry so I just had some fruit, cheese and crackers.

But this week we have a real menu again!

DEE’S MENU

Monday

We have an Open Mic event at a local coffee shop so we’ll eat dinner there. I have a 5:15 meeting beforehand so I’ll just meet David there.

Tuesday

Taco Tuesday!

carnitas tacos
coleslaw
chips and salsa

Wednesday

I have choir rehearsal at 7 p.m. so David will appreciate minimal cleanup. On these choir evenings I put away the leftovers but he does the dishes. I try not to do one of my “use every pan in the kitchen” meals. Ha!

shrimp and veggies sheet pan dinner
brown rice
salad

Thursday

I’ll use leftovers from Tuesday’s tacos to make the BBQ pork.

homemade macaroni and cheese topped with BBQ pork
coleslaw (leftover)
green beans

Friday

We are going to Tulsa to see Disney on Ice. A young friend has performed with Disney on Ice all around the world for many years but this is the first season she’s performed in her home state. It should be lots of fun. We’ll eat dinner in Tulsa before the show and then spend the night up there.

Saturday

It looks like the weather will be nice so we’ll get in a meal cooked on the grill before it turns cold.

grilled cheeseburgers
french fries
salad

Sunday

There’s going to be a potluck lunch after church and I know the ladies will put out a spread that will leave us full. We then have Music in the Park that evening and there will be food trucks in case we need a little something.

What’s cooking at YOUR house this week?

Eating healthy is important and it all begins with a plan. Could you use some help with that part?

Today, you can get your hands on ready-made meal plans for just the way you eat—complete with shopping lists and fresh recipes—for an extremely low price.

It’s called the Ultimate Healthy Meal Planning Bundle – back for just two days! – and here’s how it works:

It’s a complete meal planning solution made up of 10 mini-bundles.

Each bundle contains digital cookbooks, fresh meal ideas, and ready-made plans (and even grocery lists!). No matter how you eat, there’s a mini-bundle that’s perfect for you and there are two buying options:

Option 1: Pick up just one mini-bundle that works best for your life right now – quick & healthy, budget-friendly, Instant Pot & slow cooker OR diet-specific options like vegan, real food, paleo, keto, gluten-free… there’s one that’s right for you.

Option 2: For less than the price of two mini-bundles, get the ENTIRE package with over 3,000 recipes and 100 weeks of made-for-you meal plans, so you’ve got total control no matter how your food needs change.

If this sounds like something that could be a help in your busy life, pick up your copy of the Ultimate Healthy Meal Planning Bundle (or any of the mini-bundles) by clicking the blue “click here” button below:

Menu Monday ~ September 10, 2018

September 10, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

It felt like fall here this weekend with high temperatures in the low 70s. This week’s weather looks absolutely perfect with daytime highs in the mid-80s and overnight lows in the 60s. Can we just keep this year round, please? We have a busy week ahead and it looks like I’ll only be cooking twice. It’s probably not even worth writing this menu for you but I’ve linked to a couple of good recipes you might want to try.
