Happy Sunday TKW Family! It’s time for the weekly menu. So let me ask you, does this help you in planning out your dinners for the week or are you one of those ‘figure out what’s for dinner on your way home while sitting in traffic’ kind of cooks? Just please, please tell me you don’t just grab take out every single night. Please, my heart would just shatter…

How was your week? So you know how last week I was commenting how Mother Nature finally decided to bless us with real Spring-like weather where we were having 80F days? Well the witch must be hormonal as we went from 80F, to 27 with snow to the next day having it be 42 with frost and then rain and gray. Seriously… enough lady! Go see Magic Mike, have some drinks with your girlfriends and get your crap straightened out! I’m tired of going from short sleeves to friggen coats and boots!

This upcoming week I’m away again for work which means I had to pre-make a bunch of stuff that way he’s good to go food-wise. Well no, I didn’t have to make him any food. He’s more than capable to do it himself but if I didn’t make anything I can tell you exactly what all he’d eat:

– cereal
– crunchy PB sandwiches (no, no jelly… ever)
– dippy eggs and toast
– Protein shakes
– Crackers with cheese spread

I could not in good conscious leave him without food. The thing is it’s my fault it’s this way as I spoil him but when you’re in love you do that. So what’s your week look like? Once I get through this week I have a reprieve until the next wave of ITIL certifications start up again. In that time frame I want to do some revamping on the site and work on some new ideas I have for here. My bestie gave me a suggestion to do a week’s worth of leftovers. Often we find that people will cook a meal and then the leftovers go into the fridge to die only to be thrown away. So I’m going to work on some new ideas on how to revamp those leftovers into brand new recipes. Do you have any suggestions on a starting dish? Maybe roasted chicken? Anyway, here’s to you having one AMAZING week!

Best Kitchen Wishes!

♥ Monday – Mexican Baked Beef Short Ribs Quesadillas
♥ Tuesday- Cowboy Meatballs with Cowboy BBQ Sauce
♥ Wednesday – Pizza Hand Pies (pizza poptarts)
♥ Thursday – BBQ Meatloaf Stacks
♥ Friday – Grown Up Balsamic Pepper Fig Roast Beef Sandwich
♥ Saturday – Tuscan White Bean & Sausage Spinach Soup
♥ Sunday – Italian Sammich – Hot Sausage with Peppers and Onions
♥ Dessert of the week – Flaky Nectarine Turnovers

Make it a meal!

I cook maybe 3-4 times a week, enough for leftovers the other days. It’s nice to see the pictures of your food plans for the week, but I really try to choose one to try out this week or next (if I need to shop for ingredients)

I keep a list on my fridge of leftovers and other food items that must be used up soon, like half a can of evaporated milk, or meatloaf, two servings. That helps me use them up before they go bad. I even foodsaver a few leftover meals for one or two in case I have to go out of town for a couple of days.

  Hi Jeannine!
  
  That’s my goal here – just try one new recipe either that week or the following week. I mean even I get into a rut making the same 4 chicken stand-by dishes so for me it helps break that cycle.
  
  I love your idea of the list. With your meatloaf, try my meatloaf stackers recipe on here. It’s still the same thing but when placed on those potato cake stacker with broiled sauce it just elevates it.
  
  Best Kitchen Wishes!
