Meal Plan or Meal Bust?

Last week I made a tentative meal plan for the week. As usual things did not go as planned, but we were not too far off target. I spent a large amount of time at Mom's and came home usually late in the afternoon/early evening . Fortunately I had cooked a few things on Sunday, so there were a couple of quick meals available. This is what was planned:

1. Chili, keto "cornbread" coleslaw
2. Spaghetti sauce over pasta or zoodles, tossed salad, french bread or keto rolls
3. Brazilian Festival food
4. Shepherd's pie (keto), coleslaw, roll or keto roll
5. Fasting
6. Grilled scallops, tossed salad, rolls, cauli mash
7. Cauliflower au gratin 

And this is what actually happened:

Monday: The temps had dropped just enough so that we could actually enjoy a bowl of chili.
Chili, keto cornbread

Tuesday: TheHub had a dinner meeting so I decided to fast. It was an easy kitchen cleanup. Wash one water glass and a mug!
Water and a cup of hot tea

Wednesday: I have class every Wednesday morning and left the house so I could be at Mom's at 7:30 to fill in the gap between her overnight and her daytime caregivers. After the day caregiver got there I was off to class, with a list of groceries and supplies needed for Mom' house.  As soon as the class was over I ran by Aldi to pick up things Mom needed from there along with my Aldi groceries. I swung by Mom's to put up her groceries, then went to my house to put mine away (I had refrigerator items that could not stay in the car), got back in the car to drive to Publix for the items Mom needed that Aldi does not carry, dropped those off, got a new and different list of items T. had forgotten to include on the earlier list, went to The Pig (which is by CVS) for a couple of items then went to CVS for incontinence supplies, back to Mom's, then had an appointment with Mom's accountant (about 1099's for her care givers)  and finally back home___until Mom called later and needed me to come back to her house for a non-emergency, emergency.
TheHub had another dinner meeting and I was fried from running around. I rummaged around in the fridge and came up with a slight variation on my original plan for the night.
Steamed cauliflower with a slice of New York sharp cheddar and a glass of white wine

Thursday: I think it was an uneventful day. I still did my daily 2 visits with Mom but they were nothing out of the ordinary. TheHub was going to be home for dinner, so I pulled the spaghetti sauce I had made and frozen out to thaw.
Spaghetti sauce over noodles or zoodles, huge tossed salad

Friday: Usual Mom stuff and a couple of meetings for me! TheHub wanted to run by Aldi to pick up some low carb protein bars they carry (Elevation bars, the no added sugar type)  If he had told me he was out or nearly out I could have picked them up when I was at Aldi on Wednesday.  He suggested we drop by Culver's (next door to Aldi) and grab a bite to eat, so I was game for that.
Mushroom Swiss burger (no bun or condiments) with a side of broccoli or fish sandwich basket. You can guess which was the keto meal.

 Saturday:  Game day (Alabama vs. Texas A&M ) meant we had to get up and get moving so we could be at the Brazilian festival early. Even though we were there when it opened we got one of the last parking spots and the crowd was pretty large. We knew after wandering around a bit that we would be bringing food home. Son 2 and DIL2 would be eating with us so we had a jantar (Portuguese word for main meal of the day. See what going to the Brazilian festival will do for you. Thank you guy who was at the steak kabob booth for that bit of trivia). The food? Yumlicious!
Pork and black bean stew, steak skewers, empanadas, tamales, tomatoes and cucumber slices. We also bought flan, lime mousse and chocolate balls but we were stuffed and no one ate the desserts.

Sunday: We had a true day of rest, except for going to the store for Mom and going to her house twice. I had made  soup to have Saturday night and we had leftover soup, plus TheHub brought a doggie bag home from his meal Wednesday night.

And now on to this week:*****
1. Soup and bread (either keto cornbread or dinner rolls)
2. Keto pork stew over broccoli
3. Leftover Brazilian, tossed salad
4. Sesame chicken over rice or cauli rice, asparagus
5. Philly cheesesteak one pot dish
6. Corn dogs , coleslaw
7. Chili, keto cornbread, cucumber slices

***** I just realized what today's date is. TheHub's Birthday is today! Yes I am a dumbass. Fortunately I had bought a card a while back and am already dressed since I had to take Mom to a dentist appointment this afternoon. I think tonight I will take him out to eat wherever he wants to go.
