Today is the
first day of a new month! Ryan and I are home from vacation and tightening up
our menu plans. That will obviously not be reflected in today’s Menu Monday
post, because much of this week’s post still looks our vacation.
Monday: Leftover Chicken and Macaroni
Salad
What We
Loved: We spent an
entire day exploring on vacation and were very hot and hungry when we came back
to our hotel. We didn’t want to start over getting ready so we could go out to
eat, so we had more of the chicken and macaroni salad we bought at the grocery
store the day before. It was the grandest start to our evening on the couch!
Tuesday: Strawberry Fields Salad/Cheeseburger
at Culvers
What We
Loved: We spent
another entire day exploring and were SO hot and hungry at the end of the day.
Ryan really wanted Culver’s, so we found one (a super nice one!) and he chose a
cheeseburger meal, and I chose their Strawberry Fields Salad. I love that salad
so much. The year they don’t bring it back will be a sad year.
Wednesday: Chicken Salad and Pizza from MOD
Pizza
What We
Loved: We really
wanted to stay in for the evening, so Ryan ordered pizza for himself and salad
for me from MOD Pizza. He went to pick it up and we ate in the hotel. The salad
was really good – and really big! It made two meals for me. I think he got
about 2.5 meals out of the pizza!
Thursday:
Leftover Chicken
Salad and Pizza from MOD Pizza
What We
Loved: This day was
our last full day of vacation, so we needed to start packing and didn’t want to
add more things to our food collection. Leftovers for the win!
Friday: Fajita Wrap from Buc’ees
What We
Loved: We ate dinner
in the parking lot of Buc’ees – and I chose the chicken fajita wrap. It came
with two smaller wraps, so I had one on Friday night and the other one Saturday
for lunch. Tons of flavor!
Saturday: Pesto Pasta with Asparagus and Peas
What We
Changed: Annnnnd
back to cooking! We did a grocery haul so I could get back to cooking. This
recipe is actually a vegetarian recipe, which is rare for us, but it was good
and filling. I did make a few adjustments. For the pesto, I had mixed greens
rather than arugula, and I used dried basil rather than fresh. And I didn’t
have pistachios, so I used chopped pecans, both in the pesto and on the top of
the salad. I used chickpea pasta, per usual, and everything else was pretty
accurate!
Sunday: Shimp Tacos with Latin Yellow Rice
What We
Changed: This was
pretty tasty! For the shrimp tacos, I used 4 large tortillas instead of 8 small
ones. I skipped the jalapeno peppers in the slaw. And I skipped the sriracha in
the sauce. This was also the first time I had air fried shrimp, and it was fast
and tasty! In the rice, I skipped the Sazon seasoning and just used garlic and
seasoned salt. It was really good!
