I planned no menu for the week because we are headed out of town soon and I had a lot of food hanging out in the fridge that was screaming "use me".
And this is what was used/eaten
Sunday: We went to the fish market Saturday and our purchase decided what dinner Sunday night would be.
Broiled triple tail, tossed salad, dinner rolls
Monday: Our wonderful niece called to let us know she was in town. Of course we wanted her to come by and eat with us, but I was only going to make something I had in the house.
Taco salad, wine
Tuesday: I was feeling icky and did not want to eat. TheHub stopped by Puvlix to gt his dinner and to pick up a carton of chicken broth.
TheHub, Deviled eggs, fried rice, me chicken broth
Wednesday: TheHub specifically asked for this. Check out Lori's recipe for a no bake version. Yum!
Mac and cheese and slaw
Thursday: Using what is in the fridge type meal
Chicken coleslaw, toast
Friday: Another use it up dinner.
Sautéed squash, coleslaw, tomato onion cucumber salad
Saturday: And another let's see what's hiding in the fridge meal.
Grilled chicken, asparagus, tomato slice
Once again I am making no plans. The trip is looming and we still have stuff that needs to be eaten.
Have a great week staying on plan, going off plan, or with no plan at all!
Sounds like you did very well with what you had to use up. Our week featured a lot of veggies and salads since I went a bit overboard buying. Nothing was wasted though so it was a win. YAY on trying the recipe. I'm happy you liked it too.
ReplyDeleteI'm still using the remnants, but I do like having no waste, so we will keep having lame meals until we leave.
DeleteAlways happy when I can listen to a Bill Wither's song. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMe and thee!
DeleteYou did very well, Anne.
ReplyDeleteWe ate. It was uninspiring but things were used without adding to the larder
DeleteSafe travels to you this week, Anne. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Belinda!
DeleteHave a wonderful trip - and even better come home to an empty fridge and a wealth of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteOr I get to come home with an immediate shopping trip! But the trip will so be worth it.
DeleteI hope your destination is cooler than what Alabama's serving. Safe travels and good times!
ReplyDeleteSlightly cooler with more humidity and a constant breeze (At least that is what "They" say.
DeleteSounds like you found lots of good things in the fridge! :)
ReplyDeleteI am by nature a serious over-buyer, especially with sale items
DeleteEating your way through your fridge often requires creativity.. nicely done.
ReplyDeleteJust a tiny bit more and I can leave in peace.
