Hey All,
So I didn't write nearly as much as I would have liked this summer. Things were, well, there's no polite way to put it, this summer fucking sucked! Thankfully, my beloved pulled it all together and got me to Burning Man again. I'm still not quite sure what happened out in the desert this year, and I'm still recovering from the "playa plague", but I seem a lot more satisfied with a "Meh!" than my entire life being rainbows and unicorn farts. There's a lot of stuff at play, and I'm not exactly happy all the time, but such is life.
So one thing we started doing after we got back from TTITD was menu planning. I know every good household should do this, and recently the stress of "What do you want for dinner tonight?" was making me batty. So we're doing it and with some pretty amazing success. Its a bit of a pain to take 20 minutes on Saturday and make a plan for the week, but once the shopping is done, its done and there is a clear cut plan for the week. Oh, and its been quite nice on the budget too....lot's less eating out.
So here's the week and a few things I did to get us ready for it:
Monday - Monte Cristo Sandwiches and salad. These are easy, its basically an egg battered grilled ham and cheese. They come together with ease and its a satisfying meal.
Tuesday - Curried Pork. THINK CROCK POT!
Wednesday - Shrimp Alfredo. Another easy one. Cook the shrimp, pour over a jar of alfredo and viola. That will get served with Normandy mix veggies.
Thursday - Beef Enchiladas. I prepped those today, so another easy one. Pop 'em in the oven until they are ready. The garden is going full tilt and avacados were on sale, so those will be served with a salsa fresco, avacado slices, and sour cream.
Friday - good ol' hamburgers. Grill 'em and enjoy.
So nothing too inventive or crazy, but good eatin' that isn't breaking the bank or being delivered.
