This is going to be an ultra-busy week! This coming Saturday is AdaFest, the huge music festival our town puts on. We are on the organizing committee and in charge of the music. I also do a lot of the social media marketing. We’ve put in countless hours and I’m really excited about it. And exhausted – ha! This week’s menu features easy meals, as you might expect.
Dee’s Menu
Monday
I’ve got a small sliced ham in the freezer. Mondays are always busy days for me so an easy meal is a good plan. I’m also still working on clearing out the freezer.
- ham (in the Instant Pot)
- baked beans
- corn on the cob
- coleslaw
- baked apples
Tuesday
Another meal using up things on hand. I’ve got grass fed beef in the freezer, along with corn tortillas. I’ve also got a carton of organic refried beans, as well as chips and salsa in the pantry.
- grass fed beef tacos
- refried beans
- chips and salsa
- leftover coleslaw
Wednesday
I know there will be leftover ham so I’ll make a pot of soup with it, along with various veggies, including some from the freezer.
- veggie soup with leftover ham
- biscuits
Thursday
Again, this meal features items from the freezer – chicken and peas.
- teriyaki chicken
- brown rice
- peas
- salad
Friday
We will be in crunch mode for AdaFest. I’m not even going to pretend I’ll want to cook this night. I’m thinking this would be a good time to pick up sushi.
- takeout
Saturday
The big event! We will be busy all day and into the night. There will be 10 food trucks so we’ll try to find a moment to grab a bite to eat from one of those.
Sunday
This is my birthday but I suspect we will be utterly exhausted. We have reservations at our favorite hotel in Oklahoma City next weekend to celebrate. I have no idea what we will do about food this day but I do know I won’t be cooking – ha!

Your menu looks good this week. I hope you have a great time at the music festival and Happy Birthday too!
Thank you!
Hope the festival goes well, and that you enjoy your birthday.
Here’s my menu for this week:
Monday: Cheese and spinach pasty and fries, followed by fruit.
Tuesday: Potato croquettes and mixed vegetables.
Wednesday: I’ll make enough on Tuesday so I can have the leftovers for Wednesday’s dinner.
Thursday: Salad in pitta bread.
Friday: Quiche with mashed potatoes and beans.
Saturday: There will be enough quiche for two days dinner, so I’ll make extras of the other stuff too so I can have that on Saturday.
Sunday: Veggie breakfast wraps.
Well, look at you. A whole week’s menu again. Good for you!
I know, amazing, isn’t it? Haha!
