Menu Monday ~ October 2, 2017

October 2, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

We’ve got a difficult week ahead so I’m keeping our menu simple this week.

Monday

We are attending a candlelight vigil at 7:30 for a friend who died this past week. We’ll need to eat early so I’m keeping it simple.

  • Sweet Italian chicken sausages in marinara over pasta
  • tossed green salad
  • steamed broccoli

Tuesday

I’m attending the preview of the used book sale at our local public library at 6 p.m. We’ll eat after I get back. I’ll cook the lentils in my Instant Pot before I leave and then set it to keep warm. If I have everything else prepped before I go then all I will have to do is fry the tortillas when I get home. 

Important note: At the time of this posting, the Instant Pot is a “deal of the day” on Amazon. You can get it for only $69.99 which is a great deal!

  • lentil tacos
  • lettuce, tomato, cheese, green onions, etc. 
  • Mexican rice

Wednesday

We have a very, very sad funeral to attend about 2 hours away. Right now I don’t know what our dinner plans will be. 

Thursday

It’s the final “East End Eats” music and food truck event for the season. We’ll eat there. 

Friday

I think David and I may go to a nearby town for dinner and live music (something WE don’t have to plan or set up the sound for – ha!). 

Saturday

I want to take advantage of our nice weather so I think we’ll grill some burgers and if the mosquitos aren’t too bad we may eat on the patio.

  • grilled cheeseburgers
  • French fries
  • baked beans
  • coleslaw

Sunday

We’ll eat lunch at a Mexican restaurant after church and save half for dinner.

    I hope all goes smoothly, and you’re able to enjoy the events you have going on this week that have the potential to be enjoyable. I’m sorry you find yourselves in a position to have to deal with the less pleasurable events of your week.
