Dinner Blahs

There has been nothing exciting about last weeks meals, but it was a pretty easy week of cooking/not cooking. In fact other than to get the freebies at The Pig I did not go to the grocery store this past week. If you are using stuff on hand you don't need to go to the store anyway.  

But if I saw something like this____

                                                                       _____ I might be more inclined to go.

Here's last week's original plan:

1.Squash casserole, pink eyed peas, sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, peach cobbler

2. Turkey reuben, coleslaw

3. PF Chang-ish lettuce wraps

4. TheHub has a dinner meeting so leftovers for me

5. Chicken salad on greens

6. Out to eat

7. Salad dinner or something cooked on the grill (TBD based on weather and/or mood)

Here's the updated and amended version of said plan:

Monday:  I had promised TheHub a summer vegetable dinner (his favorite summertime meal)

Squash casserole, lady peas, cucumber slices, tomato slices, peach cobbler

Tuesday: TheHub had a business dinner, so I hit the fridge for leftovers

Squash casserole, sliced cucumber

Wednesday: Time for a mostly cold food meal

Chicken salad on lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, green beans

Thursday: This was a use things that were lingering in the refrigerator kind of night, like sliced turkey and half a jar of saurkraut.

Turkey reuben sandwiches, coleslaw, chips

Friday: The rains went away by early afternoon, but the skies remained cloudy so the day was never uncomfortably hot. It was fine weather for throwing something on the grill.

Hamburger with all the fixings, green beans

Saturday: We decided rather than go out to eat we would just do takeout. I am glad we went because they posted on Facebook they had a family emergency in Thailand and will be closed for an unknown amount of time.

Blue Pacific: Shrimp pad Thai or Laap

Sunday: We took a quick trip to Costco (Someone shoot me if I ever go on a weekend again). One of their loss leaders became the star of our dinner

Rotisserie chicken, rice with gravy, brussels sprouts

This weeks menu includes some restricted meals for a procedure prep

1. Lady peas, okra, squash casserole, cornbread

2. Meatloaf, sautéed mushrooms, mashed potatoes

3. Mac and cheese, cooked carrots, vanilla pudding

4. Jello, tea or apple juice

5. Take out

6. Something grilled,  tossed salad

7. P F Chang_ish lettuce wraps

Have a great week staying on plan, going off plan, or with no plan at all.
