This Week on the Dining Table

The "The Vaccine Desert" Edition....

Well it's official. In a ranking of how each state is handling vaccinations good ol' Pennsyltucky is #49.  That's a drop from the #39th worst state.  It's such a mess here and there is no real game plan.  At least my cousin in Maine(who has ALS btw)has an appointment for a shot....but it's in May!  I can't even get an appointment here.

Onward to the meal planning!

Moving On-

This is what was planned....

1. Sunday--Broiled Salmon, Sweet Potato Wedges, Asparagus

2. Monday--Chili, Spanish Rice

3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken n' Dumplings

4. Wednesday--Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Sauteed Cabbage
5. Thursday--Leftover Beef Pie

6.  Friday--Pizza, Salad

7. Saturday--Cheeseburger, Fries(maybe), assorted leftover side dishes or a Salad

And this is what really happened.......

1. Sunday--Broiled Salmon, Sweet Potato Wedges, Asparagus

2. Monday--Chili(I didn't  eat dinner)

3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken n' Dumplings

4. Wednesday--Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Collards
5. Thursday--Chinese Take-out(I had soup)

6.  Friday--Cheeseburger, Macaroni Salad, Corn

7. Saturday--Leftover Beef Pie

Last week saw 4 nights of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/planned overs or FFY, and 1 night of Take-Out/Eating Out.

Mostly everything planned was cooked/served except the Spanish Rice and we had Collards instead of Cabbage w/the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich.  Cabbage moves to this week.  The cheeseburgers happened on Friday instead of Saturday as Ex-CB came over on Friday for dinner and that's what he wanted.

What got put into the freezer last week....

* 1 pack chicken thigh filets

* 1 pack of breaded chicken cutlets

What got taken out of the freezer and used...

*  3 Salmon portions

*  Ground Turkey for chili

*  2 Pork Tenderloin portions

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu?  I've got fresh produce that needs cooking or using this week, lots of produce!  I broke a tooth Saturday night so not sure what I can eat until it's fixed.  It's an odd mix this week but if Hubs wants something else(more meat)he can cook it himself. ;-)

I don't know if I'll be grocery shopping this week but if I do it won't be for much.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

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?  Not such great deals here unless I go to the discount food outlet or get a good Ibotta Bonus and Walmart isn't a zoo. lolz
