Menu Monday: Nourishing Body and Soul

 


                How in the world are we back around to Monday again already?? Last week went so much faster than I imagined it would. Whew! Thought I’d share with you some of the fun things we enjoyed for dinner! I don’t think I made a single “real” recipe this week. It was all about cobbling together what we had until we could do a proper grocery run – which we finally did by the end of the week.

Monday: Chicken and Broccoli

What We Enjoyed: We did NOT enjoy being almost out of groceries. The week before had made it impossible to get to the grocery store, so this meal was a combination of what we found in the freezer. The last two little pieces of chicken and some steamed broccoli. It wasn’t the most glamorous meal ever, but it sure does pay to have something fast and easy in the freezer!

Tuesday: Brisket and Broccoli

What We Loved: Speaking of things in the freezer, I remembered we had a brisket in the deep freeze, so I tossed it in the slow cooker – and before I knew it, the house smelled amazing. To be fair, it smelled a little less amazing once I cooked the broccoli, but it was a tasty meal – with leftovers!

Wednesday: Taco Salad

What We Loved: Still hadn’t had time to go to the store, so we ran to the local market for some ground beef and made taco meat. We used up some mixed greens, salsa, and cheese we had on hand, sprinkled some chips on top, and had taco salad.

Thursday: Leftover Taco Salad

What We Loved: Who doesn’t love leftovers!?! I made dinner and then I made a grocery list!!!

Friday: Dairy Queen Burger

What We Loved: We don’t do Dairy Queen often, so this burger was a rare treat for us. Ryan was Subway-ed out.

Saturday: Wicked Wraps

What We Loved: We went to the Swiss Days parade and grabbed dinner before we left. I don’t know if the Wicked Wraps food truck was new there this year or if we just hadn’t seen it before, but we liked it. Ryan got a chicken bacon ranch wrap (which is more like a quesadilla) and I chose BBQ chicken. So good.

Sunday: Taco Tots

What We Loved: Still finishing up the taco meat! I had a few tots under mine, and it was pretty tasty!
