Before I get started, what do you think of the new look? It’s simple, but different… I really enjoy it so far.
This is my menu for the week. The swap is being held at Asparagus Thin.
Chris is going to be out of town starting Tuesday or Wednesday, so this menu is tentative, and revolves around what he likes as a send off. Of course he’ll be camping, fishing, golfing, and eating steak every night while he is away (he’s going out of town to work a job, he’ll be back on the weekends and then gone again M-F), but I still feel like spoiling him some.
We both went to donate plasma today to try and get some extra money, but even though I passed the finger prick for the first time ever, which is cause for celebration because it means my body is starting to absorb nutrients again, I still have to get a doctor’s clearance to give because of past issues with anemia. Chris has been very patient with me finding a job, and I just want to give him a lot of props… he works hard. So this weeks menu has a lot of his favorite things on it.
In addition to trying to incorporate this weeks ingredient, which is onions… I also focused on using leftover ingredients as much as possible to help cut down on our grocery bill again this week.
On to the menu!
Saturday: Fajitas, and then we had smoked oysters, salmon, and ribs out with the neighbors.
Sunday: Grilled chicken & onions, crash hot potatoes, and cabbage. (Dinner= barbecued hamburgers)
Monday: Roast, carrots, onions, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
