I am not even going to mention what all was eaten last week. There were moments of deliciousness at the beach, an Arby's Reuben sandwich, a birthday steak dinner and a peanut butter sandwich. I already mentioned some of it on my joy list anyway, so instead of recounting our last weeks meals I am just going ahead with our plans for this week. They may or may not happen, since I have other possibilities floating around in the vault (brain). No matter what, this is going to be a week of simple prep.
Plans for dinner this week:
1. Leftover steak, leftover mashed potatoes, leftover tossed salad, leftover birthday cake
2. Puerto Rican rice and beans, coleslaw, wacky apple cake
3. Sausage casserole, tossed salad, Brussels sprouts
4. Unstuffed pepper casserole, (tons of small peppers need to be picked before a forecast frost) coleslaw, cooked carrots
5. Chop Suey, rice, spinach salad, lavender cookie with vanilla ice cream
6. Vegetable soup or chili, cornbread, coleslaw
7. Carolina hamburger, air fryer French fires or sweet potato fries
You will be fed anyway. I do envy you on the going out thing. I really don't remember the last time we ate out - or even had take away.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I do enjoy a night off the cooking thing, I get tired of going out to eat, especially mid week.
DeleteIt all sounds good to me. I haven't made a plan for this week, yet. I just ate an assortment of leftovers, today! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been trying very hard to limit food waste, so leftovers work well here too. I just have to reconfigure them because TheHub is not a leftover fan.
DeleteBeing gone a few days, I'm happy to get back to my sister's meals, though like you, may change things up. I've got a few things tucked away if I do t feel like cooking at all. I want to make bread, so therefore I'll want to do more soup if some sort of chili.
ReplyDeleteThat should read simple meals, though if my sister's want to cook for me, I'm happy to oblige.
DeleteSam.
DeleteI wondered about that "sister's meals" comment and was trying to remember.
My sister is not a great cook but I would let her cook for me too! I get the simple meals wish. We just need to eat some simple and cheap meals for a while.
DeleteMy husband likes to eat out more than I do. I wonder if it's a guy thing?
ReplyDeleteTheHub eats out every day at lunch, but still likes to go out at least twice a week. I am not sure if it is the actual going out that bothers me, or if it is having to put on makeup!
DeleteI haven't had Arby's Reuben in ages... on brother, it'll be on my mind until I get one, now. lol Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThe Reubens are the only thing I really like from Arby's.
DeleteI never met a Country/Western song I didn't like.
ReplyDeleteI like the old country, but am not a fan of the contemporary.
DeleteI have to be careful about wishing to go get something because Tommy is right there, ready to go. Maybe I will cook blackeyed peas this week.
ReplyDeleteTheHub would love it if I made black eyed peas this week, but I am not!
DeleteIt all sounds good to me. Enjoy your meals.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy our meals, even if it is just a pbj sandwich and conversation.
DeleteWe haven’t really started going out to eat in the aftermath of the pandemic. The prices seem so high! there is a labor shortage! so many downsides!
ReplyDeleteI am awed by your planning. I’m about to go to Trader Joe’s and my plan goes as far as having “Frozen Dinners” on the list, as I’m trying to make my life easier.

There is nothing wrong with making your life easier!
DeleteI hope you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I did have a lot of fun, Janie!
Deletelavender cookie sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteyou have listed two desserts, what makes those the dessert days? will there be an unlisted dessert on the other days? these are important questions :)
The wacky cake is just to use an apple that needs to be used but is a tad past really good eating as an apple.
DeleteI have been wanting to try the labander cookie recipe and there is a bit of ice cream left from the birthday celebration.
We normally do not have dessert.
