Summer break is just around the corner and it is really time to firm up my menu planning muscles. I’ve been going into weeks lately with a general idea of meals, and relying on scampering off to the store before school gets out to pick up anything I am missing. This is a lot more tedious when there are two of us heading off to the store!
Well, we have chives at least . . .
Mon – Shrimp and twice-baked potatoes using our garden chives, and a vegetable side
Tue – Spaghetti (veg) with mushroom and black olives, garlic bread, salad.
Wed – Tuna salad, lettuce, deviled eggs
Thur – Black bean and cheese quesadillas with all the fixings
Fri – McDonalds! Why? Friday is the start of Isabelle (American Girl) Happy Meal toys. For more information see Doll Diaries

Sometimes I like the company of one or two of my kids with me when I’m going to the grocery store. But I do find that we’re much more likely to spend more than planned if someone goes with me. Menu planning really does help with that.
Your meals for the week sound yummy and simple.
Thank you! I am still in the “let me hang on the cart while you push it” season of life… things are so much faster alone 😉
Several of your menu items sound extremely tasty. Glad you have decided to follow my blog. I do post recipes occasionally. Will watch for yours.
Thanks Juliana! You just returned from New Mexico… Favorite restaurant ever is Annapurna. If I could eat like that every day it would be heaven! My daughter is also mostly veg.
