Menu Monday ~ January 15, 2018

January 15, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Another week, another menu! We have a lot going on this week and it would be all to easy to slack on the home cooking thing. But I’m determined to keep meals out to a minimum right now. By keeping things simple and making use of my Instant Pot, I’ll be able to provide tasty meals at home. Let’s take a look at what’s on our menu this week.

Dee’s Menu 

Monday

This is the only night of this week we don’t have anywhere we have to go. We’ll have a cozy dinner of soup and homemade biscuits then play gin rummy for awhile. We must treasure these quiet evenings at home!

  • split pea soup
  • homemade biscuits
  • orange slices

Tuesday

David and I have back-to-back meetings this afternoon/evening for our foundation and other local events committees. I don’t want to eat out afterwards as we so often do when we have these meetings so I’m making use of the slow cook feature of my Instant Pot.

  • roast, potatoes, carrots and onions in the Instant Pot
  • salad
  • leftover biscuits

Wednesday

I have choir rehearsal at 7 p.m. so we will need to eat a bit early. I plan to bake the hamburger buns early in the day, as well as make the coleslaw. It won’t take long to bake the french fries and fry the hamburger patties. 

  • hamburgers on homemade buns
  • french fries
  • homemade coleslaw

Thursday

David and I have a political meeting at 6 p.m. That’s just too early for us to eat beforehand. If the meeting doesn’t last too terribly long we’ll eat at home. Otherwise we may pick up something in town. 

  • BLT sandwiches on homemade bread
  • soup (leftover split pea)

Friday 

Date night! We’ll go out to dinner first and then to Broadway Tonite Live! at our local university. 

Saturday

It will have been a busy week and I doubt I’ll feel much like cooking anything very elaborate. This sounds like the perfect time for “Breakfast for Dinner”.

  • homemade waffles
  • bacon
  • orange juice
  • coffee

Sunday

We’ll eat out after church and save half for dinner.

    It’s hard to plan dinner meals when you’re not going to be home, but looks like you’re doing a great job. Yesterday was leftovers, today was salsa chicken made in the Crockpot and served in toasted corn tortillas with a variety of toppings. Tomorrow will be beef stew. That’s as far as I’ve gotten! 😉

      Our meeting ran very late last night but I still managed to serve a nice dinner. It was just rather late. Salsa chicken in corn tortillas sounds really good. Do you have the recipe on your blog?

    Great menu. Hope it’s going to plan?

    Breakfast for dinner is one of my go to quick meal options.

      So far, so good. Although it’s going off the rails tonight. I came down with a mild cold and then David just called to let me know he’s going to another county to help fight a huge grass fire and won’t be here for dinner. I’ll probably opt for tea and toast.
