I have finally come up with what I am going to make this week. We have changed our shopping time to Friday nights instead of Sunday mornings to open up the weekend and it is wrecking havoc on my brain. Totally changed the schedule so when we shopped I had no idea what we were going to eat. Needless to say, we probably bought more "junk" food than we needed and a mishmash of items that I was hoping I could piece together with things from the pantry and freezer.
Today I went through what I had bought and what I had on hand and came up with this weeks menu. (It helped that 2 of the nights were "Guys Nights" since I will be gone.)
Awhile back I pinned on how we "organize" our weekly meals so we maintain specific themes each night and change up the meal. This makes is a little easier to create the menu instead of starting from scratch each week. Also helps with the teenage son who, even though the menu is on the fridge, he still asks "Whats for dinner?" But at least he has an idea of what may be coming.
This weeks menu:
Sunday: Homemade Orange Chicken with steamed rice, pot stickers and broccoli (I found a recipe from the Plain Chicken blog for Tempura Chicken which I think will work well with this.
Monday (Soup/Salad and Sandwich Night): BLT Sandwiches and Albondigas (Meatball) Soup
Tuesday (Mexican): Sausage Ravioli w/red sauce, grilled asparagus and homemade french bread (Normally it is mexican night but Saturday Steve made Chicken Enchiladas so we are changing it up.
Wed and Thur is Guy's Night, WooHoo!!!
Today was also spent sitting outside and enjoying the Southern California weather, which I am doing right now.
I made a few items I had previously pinned on Pinterest and will post those tomorrow.
