I realized a couple of days ago that I totally forgot to post the menu for this past week! Wouldn't have mattered much because we deviated a bit...but here's what we did eat!
Sunday: Ham and Broccoli Impossible Pie
Monday: Chili Dogs
Tuesday: Panda Express
Wednesday: Skillet fried pork and potatoes
Thursday: Chicken and rice
Friday: Leftovers for the win!
Saturday: Instant Pot "roast" chicken with mushroom risotto
A note about that risotto - I'm totally out of white wine, so I substituted apple cider. It was DELICIOUS! I also made that in my Instant Pot. I made Instant Pot spaghetti for lunch today (and now have five lunches' worth of leftovers for my daughter to take to school!). And I'm cooking dinner tonight in my Instant Pot...normally I just make ingredients with it - beans, rice, stock, stuff like that. But apparently I'm in a meal-making mood these days.
My daughter made the chicken and rice. She's been working on her "Simple Meals" badge for Girl Scouts. She was tired and cranky and didn't want to make it and I said "look. It literally takes TEN MINUTES to put chicken and rice together. You can do it!" So she did it. And then she remembered she doesn't like the chicken in chicken and rice. Sigh...
Today I went to THREE grocery stores. I have a new routine - on Sundays I drop my daughter off at Sunday School and then have about an hour to myself before I have to pick her up (yes, I could go to adult Bible study, but I don't, for reasons which are my own). I used to just go to Starbucks and drink coffee and read my book, but I'm trying to scale back on all forms of eating out, so the coffee had to go (and I just realized I'm a cup short on my coffee drinking today, so maybe that's why I've been cranky all afternoon, but I digress...). Last weekend I decided to check out Grocery Outlet and wow, it's so much cleaner than it used to be! I haven't been in ages. So I went back again today. I took my list and grabbed a few things that I knew I needed plus a few things that were too good to pass up. Then on the way back I decided to check out the Super Mercado, which I also haven't been to in a long time. Then this afternoon I went to Fred Meyer (where I completely blew my grocery budget and bought very little that wasn't on my list - I really need to be shopping at Winco). But, we are stocked up for the week and just about out of money for the month so I'll be getting creative moving forward!
And, without further ado, here's the menu for this week:
Sunday: Cube Steak and Gravy over mashed potatoes
Monday: Pasta Salad
Tuesday: Irish Sundaes
Wednesday: Tuna casserole
Thursday: Chicken Lazone, maybe with cornbread or biscuits. I haven't decided.
Friday: Chicken strips and salads
Saturday: Beef and Noodles (made with ground beef)
