I didn’t post my menu last week. Not because I didn’t make one, I was just a busy girl. I got called into Jury Duty! Of course everyone (who didn’t find a way out of it) knows what that means. Your entire schedule is up in the air! So just in case, EVERYTHING on my menu last week was of the quick and easy variety. Either crockpot or thrown together in 30 minutes or less. Even if you don’t have Jury Duty looming in your future, these are great recipe ideas to keep on hand for days you KNOW are going to be slammed.
This week for us is the last week of summer. Kids go back to school well before Labor Day this year, so our lazy days of summer are at an end. We still have some great summer foods on hand though so here’s the menu for this week:
M Shish Tawook Chicken I modify this for dairy free since I can’t have yogurt.
T Zuchinni “crab” cakes The Maryland girl in me likes this one, because Maryland blue crabs are very hard to come by out here!
W Fish Tacos
T Turkey Stroganoff A great knockoff idea using turkey instead of beef.
F Trout with onions and garlic
S End of the hockey season party. Playoffs finish up, so a celebration is in order.
S Black Bean Burritos
And for those curious about last week, all these throw together fast and simple. I had dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less for each meal.:
8/9-8/15
M SW chicken salad (super fast with either leftover chicken or grab a whole rotisserie chicken on the way home)
T Spaghetti and Meatballs
W Cashew Chicken (stir fry is a fast way to a meal)
T Lentils and Sausage (Crock pot al lday)
F Salmon with Mango Salsa (make the salsa in the morning to let the flavors blend)
S Black Bean Burritos
S BBQ! Ranch chicken
