Menu Monday: Nourishing Body and Soul

 

Happy Monday, friends! Our long weekend (Ryan had Friday off, so I took most of it off too!) flew entirely too quickly. So sad! We had a lot of fun meals this week, thanks to Ryan’s birthday! Here are our thoughts on what we ate this week:

Monday: Butternut Skillet Lasagna

What We Changed: I didn’t have any rosemary, so I skipped that, and I used frozen, cubed sweet potatoes rather than cutting one. (I hate cutting squash!) While this didn’t taste like lasagna, it was good!

Tuesday: Air Fried Chicken and Roasted Asparagus

What We Did: We ran out of meal planned meals. That’s what we did! So I had some chicken tenders (skinless) in the freezer that I tossed in the air fryer, and I made my trusty roasted asparagus recipe. It was a really tasty meal and didn’t take long to make!

Wednesday: Air Fried Chicken and Roasted Asparagus

What We Loved: Leftovers for the win! Is there any other way on a busy church night?

Thursday: Dinner at Cracker Barrel

What We Had: We met Ryan’s family for dinner at Cracker Barrel. I always get their grilled chicken with broccoli and green beans. The meal come with two pieces of chicken, so it makes two meals for me. Ryan got a burger and fries!

Friday: Carryout from Soul Pig

What We Had: Ryan wanted to spend the day working in the garage, so neither one of us ever got ready that day. (What a birthday, right?) We ended up going to a BBQ place in Decatur that we really like but hardly ever get to eat at, and we split a carryout meal! We chose a three meat, two side platter and got four meals from it!

Saturday: Small Group – Steak, Asparagus, and Texas Sheet Cake

What We Loved: We had small group Saturday night, and we contributed a Texas Sheet Cake! We also had steaks (local beef) and garden-grown asparagus. SO GOOD!!!!

Sunday: Heavily Modified Pan Bagnat (Use Chicken) and Mushroom Spinach Scrambled Eggs

What We Did: I don’t even know what “Pan Bagnat” means, but the recipe called for tuna, which I hate. So I used shredded chicken instead. We ate these on our homemade sandwich bread, and I skipped the capers, anchovies, and onions. It basically tasted like dressed up chicken salad, and it was good!

I’ve made the scrambled egg dish many times before, and it was an easy Sunday night dish, so I made it again. I like the mushrooms, spinach, and onions in the eggs!
