Such a busy week ahead! It hardly seems worth making a menu but here goes:
Monday:
- gumbo (with chicken, sausage and lots of veggies)
- rice
Tuesday:
- chef salads (topped with hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese, tomatoes, croutons)
- Club crackers (not something I usually buy because of the ingredients but David bought a box for our drive to New Orleans and we still have some)
Wednesday:
We are going to OKC with friends to see Clutch in concert. I haven’t discussed specific plans with David yet but I suspect we will eat on our way up there.
Thursday:
One of our HMA musicians is playing at our favorite local Italian restaurant. We haven’t been out to hear music locally in quite awhile so we will go enjoy some delicious food and music.
Friday:
We have tickets for the Rush concert in Tulsa. Yeah, two concerts in one week. We already had the tickets for this one when our friends invited us to see Clutch. How could we turn that down? Dinner on the way up there and then we will spend the night.
Saturday:
We will be coming home from Tulsa and then have an evening wedding to attend. There is a reception afterwards so we will just have a sandwich or something light between the time we get home and the wedding.
Sunday:
Our family dinners are on hold until after our Happyland Music Festival (three day event we host each year) on Memorial Day weekend. Every spare moment between now and then will be spent preparing for that. I’ll just fix something simple and easy to clean up – maybe grilled hot dogs, chips and fruit.
Have fun at the concerts, Italian resteraunt, and wedding!
Here's my menu:
Monday: salad (home made potato salad, spring onions, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and a hard boiled egg).
Tuesday: macaroni cheese.
Wednesday: mashed potato, broccoli, and carrots.
Thursday: there will be leftovers from Wednesday, so that will be Thursday's dinner.
Friday: baked potato with veggies (depending on what we pick up when we go up the road to get it).
I haven't figured out Saturday and Sunday yet though. Living so close to the fruit and veg shop like we do now, I don't seem to end up doing more than a couple of days in advance when it comes to menu planning as a rule.
I would love to have the option of picking up fresh produce easily every couple of days. I'll bet you are loving that!
Absolutely! 🙂
