Menu Monday ~ August 20, 2018

August 20, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Another hectic week ahead for us! Saturday is an all-day event that we’ve been working on for months. I’m excited about it but also looking forward to getting past it. My birthday is the following Monday and we are going out of town to celebrate. And sleep. Ha! I have planned simple meals for this week’s menu, including something from the freezer and one that we didn’t end up eating last week. Let’s take a look, shall we?

DEE’S MENU

Monday

We have a meeting at 5:45 so I need something I can throw together quickly when we get home. I didn’t end up making the chicken Pad Thai last week so I’m moving it to today. I cooked the chicken last night so all I have to do is chop and sauté an onion then add the Pad Thai simmer sauce and cooked chicken. Rice noodles cook very quickly and I’ve got frozen Asian-style veggies. Easy!

  • chicken Pad Thai
  • rice noodles
  • Asian style veggies
  • salad

Tuesday

I have a hair appointment and a short meeting this afternoon. Sounds like a good day for a slow cooker meal. The pork chops I made last week turned out SO good! I’m going to repeat them and this time I’ll take pictures so I can share the recipe. 

  • pork chops and potatoes in slow cooker
  • broccoli
  • salad

Wednesday

  • BLTs on brioche buns
  • sweet potato fries
  • fresh fruit

Thursday

We have a meeting at 6:30 so we need to eat early and fast. Fortunately I have some jambalaya in the freezer. 

  • Debi’s Cajun Style Jambalaya
  • potato salad (I’ll pick some up from a local BBQ place)
  • French bread
  • orange slices

Friday

Tomorrow is our big music festival. I have a hunch there will be last minute things we need to do. We’ll likely end up grabbing a bite to eat in town or picking up pizza. 

Saturday

AdaFest! We will be in town all day. There will be lots of food trucks do we’ll eat at one of those. 

Sunday

We will be exhausted. I have no idea what we will eat but I do know I won’t be cooking. Ha!

What’s cooking at YOUR house this week? 


Have you been thinking about trying a menu planning service? A new one on the scene that I’m really excited about is Eat at Home. Your membership gives you access to four different meal plans: Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker and No Flour, No Sugar. You get printable menus, recipes, grocery lists, 15 minute meal options, and a 1-hour freezer stash. A menu planning service such as this can save you hours every month!
I received a free advance copy of the Eat At Home cookbook and I’m really enjoying it. Check it out!
