Monday - menus and plans for the week

Today started out very foggy which was an interesting change for my early morning dog walk. We ran into a dog friend right away which always makes the pup happy.

Our joint planning of dinners worked out well last week so we did it again this morning. Our son passed on a jar of gifted Balsamic glaze that they don’t want so it is making an appearance in the menu.

Dinners for week - in no particular order:

  • Balsamic glazed salmon plus veggies 
  • Chicken Shu Mai (Trader Joe’s frozen) plus rice
  • Turkey chili (2 meals)
  • Pizza (Trader Joe’s frozen) doctored up
  • Steamed veggies over rice
  • Dinner out or takeout
Last week seemed to be potato week so this week is rice 😉. We did end up with future dinners of beef stew and vegetable soup in the freezer. This week should add a meal of chili to the freezer. We do love leftovers and easy nights of cooking.

Plans for the week include researching the energy audit and fixes offered by 2 highly rated companies, getting ready/confident about getting rid of desktop and removing it from the desk, paying 2nd half of property taxes and continuing to read and exercise.

  1. Lovely menu Juhli. Putting meals into the freezer for lazy cooking days is perfect.

    God bless.

  2. This morning, I wrote down the various meals I have in mind for the week. It helps so much to just have figured out what to make. That's half the battle. We usually have some kind of soup that we eat over a couple of days. And tomorrow we are going to our writing group meeting and the hostess always has dinner for us. Yay!!

  3. Nothing is better than having a work-free homemade dinner! Carey told me yesterday that we had quite a few in the outside freezer, so I look forward to taking a night off soon. :)
