I woke up feeling great this morning. After spending most of the weekend in bed, I was all gung ho to get things done. Got the beef into the slow cooker, cooked the beans in instant pot, started a load of laundry, did a 20 minute run in place. By the time DS left for school, I had lost all steam. As much as I would've liked a nap, I needed to run errands (more on that tomorrow). On to the menu plan:
Monday : Slow cooker roast beef, mashed potatoes & gravy, veggies
Tuesday : Chicken pot pie, salad & veggies
Wednesday : Same as Monday
Thursday : Same as Tuesday
Friday : Chicken burritos with salad
Breakfasts : Carrot gingerbread muffins, bagels with cream cheese, cereal, eggs or omelets, toast, cranberry orange pancakes
Lunch : Leftovers or protein from freezer with salad
Dessert : No dessert cause I overate on that Christmas dessert & cookies
There's always a large variety of fresh fruit, veggies & salad fixings available
If anyone has a Sams membership, check your stores for sale ham. I had a package of ham lunch meat in my cart last week, when I spotted a fridge full of hams with a sign that said '$8 off each'. So I checked the prices, found one for $20.xx and put the lunch meat back on the shelf. When I checked out, the register deducted $12 (not $8 as stated). That was an 8lb ham for $8.xx and it's the same price as the package of lunch meat I would've bought. I still need to dice & freeze the ham (tomorrow). If I had my own place & a freezer, I would've turned right around to buy another ham or 2.
I'm ready for an early night, cause I'm not fully recovered yet.
Have a wonderful evening peeps. Stay healthy, safe & warm
I am glad you are feeling better. We rarely go to Sam's. That was an excellent price on ham. I bought a freezer so I can buy all I want. He helps to put food in it, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're feeling a bit better. I hope you are back to baseline soon. Chicken pot pie sounds delicious right now. It's been so long since I've made them, I have to put that on the list of dinners SOON!! Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteI seem to have most of my energy first thing in the morning as well. Run out of steam by the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
