Menu Monday: Nourishing Body and Soul

 


Welcome to another Monday of food ideas to hopefully inspire your cooking this week. We kept it simple and filling around here this week.

Monday: Air Fried Chicken and Steamed Green Beans

A busy Monday called for an easy dinner, and this was it! I almost always have steamed green bean packets in the freezer, and the air fryer takes care of chicken tenders in no time.

Tuesday: Air Fried Chicken Thighs and Cucumbers

Same song, different verse. 😊 Ryan loves chicken thighs, so every now and then, I throw those into the rotation. And I love fresh cucumbers with ranch dressing!

Wednesday: Taco Salad

I browned ground turkey and added taco seasoning and salsa. We ate it over spinach (me) and chips (Ryan). I did crumble two (yes, just two) chips on top of mine for a little extra fun.

Thursday: Subway

Truth? I lost interest in cooking. So Ryan very sweetly brought home Subway for our dinner. We are both hooked on the rotisserie chicken right now.

Friday:  Chicken Tortilla Soup

We are coming out of our protein reset and are cycling in some foods we’ve not had for a while. I was so excited to make chicken tortilla soup! I didn’t think of it until too late in the day to fully prepare it in the slow cooker, which would have been much easier. So I boiled the chicken on the stove, shredded it in the Kitchen Aid, and did the rest in a pot on the stovetop. Tasted great anyway!

Saturday: Grilled Steaks and Steamed Green Beans


Ryan was home and the weather was nice, so we were able to grill out! So yummy – and made enough for leftovers for the next day!

Sunday: Leftover Grilled Steaks and Steamed Green Beans

It felt appropriate for our engagementversary!
