Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends! I’m pretty happy to be starting a new week and I have high hopes that it will be a great improvement over the past couple of weeks. At least I have a really fun event to look forward to on Friday. So let’s take a look at what’s on my menu for the upcoming week:
Dee’s Menu
Monday
I have a meeting at 5:15 so I’ll want something that can be ready when I get home. Slow cooker to the rescue!
- Crockpot Chicken Creole (I’ll take pictures and share in a blog post soon.)
- steamed rice
- salad
Tuesday
We have a food and music event this evening.
Wednesday
I have choir at 7 p.m. I like to cook something with minimal cleanup on these nights, as well as something I can easily make extra of to take to my parents.
- spaghetti
- salad
- broccoli
- garlic bread
Thursday
Believe it or not, we don’t have anything planned this evening. Sounds like a good night for a special meal.
- Skillet Creamy French Mustard Chicken
- mashed potatoes
- glazed carrots
- salad
- crusty, homemade artisan bread
Friday
We are going to a Steely Dan concert (yay!!) and will spend the night afterwards since the show gets out pretty late. We’ll eat dinner somewhere before the show.
Saturday
We will be attending a dinner for the volunteer fire department David serves on. The hosts are providing hamburgers and hot dogs. Someone else is bringing dessert. I’ll probably make potato salad and/or baked beans.
Sunday
The usual – Mexican food after church. Our “Music in the Park” events are over for the season so we can eat dinner at home at a normal hour. If we have leftovers from lunch we’ll eat those. Otherwise I’ll do something simple like sandwiches or quesadillas.
What’s cooking at YOUR house this week?

I love the way you break down your menu, I might have to borrow that idea. If thats ok 🙂 You are busy! We are always on the go, so I keep my menu quick and easy. But it has to be able to be filling enough for my boys LOL Interested in seeing the Crockpot Creole! Sounds good!
Hi Kim. You are most welcome to use my menu breakdown method. 🙂 The Crockpot Creole turned out really well last night and I remembered to take a picture. I’ll have the recipe on the blog soon!
Sounds like an nice mix of uiet and eventful days for you this week. Hope you enjoy the concert and Saturday’s event.
I just realized I never gave you last week’s menu. Oh, well, here’s my menu for this week:
Monday: Cheesy fries.
Tuesday: Porridge (because it’s World Porridge Day, so I had to).
Wednesday: Mac and cheese.
Thursday: mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.
Friday: I’ll make enough on Thursday to have leftovers for Friday.
Saturday: Hash browns with fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs.
Sunday: Veggie bake.
That should have said “a nice mix of quiet and eventful days” – you may have figured that out though.
I had no idea it was World Porridge Day. Guess I should put that on my calendar for next year. 😉
