Meal Plan for the week of May 31-June 6

 Quarantine Freezer cleanout continues. This week’s special: A giant bag of party meatballs that we never used and seeing as how we won’t be having any parties for a while, will be repurposed into meals for us. Today is gorgeous outside and relatively cool for the end of May, so I’m torn between spending time outside or inside cooking to take advantage of that.

Meal Plan for the week of May 31-June 6

  • Baked rigatoni with meatballs

  • Sweet & sour meatballs over rice

  • Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake though I’ll probably make some alterations, w/ tortillas or chips

  • Multigrain & veggie blend (from Trader Joe’s) with diced smoked turkey

  • Takeout if needed.

Meal plan for the week of May 24

 Last week, refried beans were indeed made, as were the banana muffins. 4 dozen to be exact, most of which are in the freezer for when it’s too hot to bake. Which shall be very soon I’ll wager.

This weekend is of course Memorial Day weekend which means the grill will be going!

Meal plan for the week of May 24

  • Grilled hot dogs & hamburgers, corn on the cob, green salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert.
  • Chicken thighs, probably with some kind of rub?, veg
  • Leftover refried beans, homemade guac, tortillas & salad
  • Greek pasta salad (pasta, spinach, feta, tomato, onion w/ lemony dressing)
  • Still never got that takeout so maybe this week….

Meal plan for May 17-23

 Meal plan for May 17-23

  • Homemade pizza
  • Sheet pan fajitas
  • Beef & barley stew
  • London broil, cauli-tator mash, whatever veg I can find in the freezer
  • Never did get that takeout last week so we probably will this week.

I also made some beans, we had a little last night with the fajitas but I’m thinking I might turn them into refried beans.
Will probably also make some muffins this week as we have a bunch of bananas getting brown.
