It's the "Not Home and Not Cooking This Week" Edition.............
Well the photos aren't loading in blogger this morning so I'll try again to put one on later.
I am in Virginia visiting family and it's hot as hell here(Summer in the South, duh!?)so I am trying to stay cool as I can.
Maybe I'll revise the menu for the week later when I get home......and maybe I won't. ;-)
Moving on......
Here's what was planned last week--
1. Sunday--Chicken Spaghetti(don't ask!lol), Sugar Snap Peas
2. Monday--Breakfast for Dinner(Daughter is cooking)
3. Tuesday--Reuben Sandwiches
4. Wednesday--Lemon Pepper Chicken, Rice, Zucchini
5. Thursday--Shrimp Scampi, Salad, Garlic Bread
6. Friday--TBD
7. Saturday--TBD
And this is what actually happened--
1. Sunday--Chicken Spaghetti(don't ask!lol), Sugar Snap Peas
2. Monday--Breakfast for Dinner(Daughter is cooking)
3. Tuesday--Reuben Sandwiches
4. Wednesday--Lemon Pepper Chicken, Rice, Zucchini
5. Thursday--Shrimp Scampi, Siciliam Tomato/Onion Salad, Garlic Bread
6. Friday--Chicken Spaghetti, Veggie
7. Saturday--No Clue what they had, I wasn't home
5-6 meals cooked at home, 1 of them nights of leftovers.
Most every meal was cooked on the day planned last week until I left town. The Scampi came out well and was so quick and easy once the shrimp was peeled. This is the first time I've ever made scampi with linguine but it's going on the warm weather rotation from now on.

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.58/lb. There will be lots of salads because it is sooo hot and humid here in the South. Oh, yeah, I have a watermelon.
ReplyDeleteHe won't just chuck it all, and eat out all week will he? When I was gone, left them with a whole kitchen of food, and they ate cold sandwiches, pizza rolls, ate out at least twice, and cold cereal the rest of the time it appears. I won't bother planning next time.
ReplyDeleteNo, he will use the leftovers I left them ut during the week when he is working there may be some take-out pizza and/or Chinese food and Subway too. I left a kitchen full of food but nothing other than leftovers prepared.
Deletewhat is chicken spaghetti ?
ReplyDeleteI used this recipe.... http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/velveeta-spicy-chicken-spaghetti-153718.aspx
DeleteExcept I added green onions, left out the mushrooms(as I didn't have any)and used real grated cheese instead of the Velveeta.
It's the summer of WTF! Stick with survival mode.
