Menu Monday ~ August 21, 2017

August 21, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

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.

Menu Monday

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!

    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.
