Menu Monday ~ May 18, 2015

May 18, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Click here for more menu ideas!

This Friday is the beginning of our annual three-day music festival – Happyland Music Fest. In just a few days our backyard will be filled with around 200 people. It’s a wild, fun, crazy, exciting event that we all look forward to every year. The next few days are going to be hectic as we make final preparations. That means that I won’t be spending a lot of time on meals.

I cooked chicken last night and have an extra chicken breast to use tonight. A casserole, perhaps? I also picked up hot dogs and buns for a quick meal. There may be a night of grilled cheese and soup and very likely a pizza night. I have a fresh pineapple, raspberries, bananas and strawberries so I think I’ll prep all of those – maybe make a fruit salad. I also have a big bag of fresh carrots. I think I will cook a bunch of those to have on hand to add to quick meals. And rice. I should cook a big batch in my rice cooker. With all those things on hand we should be able to stay reasonably fed this week.

I wouldn’t count on a menu next week, either. I know from previous experience that the week after Happyland Music Fest is one of happy exhaustion and recovery.

Leave me a comment with what’s on your menu. And have a great week!

    Have a great music fest! I'm in kind of an opposite place. My every-Tuesday-night band is having the last practice for a good while this Tuesday because the drummer and the bass player are both going for orthopedic operations. So for our Tuesday finale (for a while) we're having a potluck. I'm bringing New Orleans style boiled shrimp:

    Yum! Hope your bandmates' surgeries go well. Too bad you aren't close enough to attend our music festival. I think you would enjoy it. 😉

    Friday's our anniversary, and I'm busy with formatting interior files to make my books available in print, so we're having a "grab what you can find" sort of week, which means I have nothing even closely resembling a menu for this week.

    Anyway, hope the music festival goes well.
