Idk. I have a few cooked chicken breasts that I need to do something with.
We have a bit of leftovers to use up - pasta salad, pulled pork, etc. I will grocery shop like Wednesday or something when we’re actually out of food. Lol
I’m making chicken Caesar wraps for lunches. I have some fresh cut up fruit from the local stand too.

I went to the store yesterday, and all I bought for dinners this week were ground meat for tacos, which I made and we ate last night, and burgers/buns in case we want them (along with snacks) for the 4th, but we don't have firm plans yet. Last year we ordered out, but the family we usually get together with is dealing with sickness right now. I'm sure I'll make pasta 1 night this week. Everything else will be a free-for-all.
We grilled Greek chicken the other day and I made a huge tabouleh salad. For lunch and dinner throughout the week I will likely eat them together with a little feta.
Also, sweet pork carnitas with pico and cilantro ranch.
We leave Wednesday for my BFFs house for the 4th where we will eat salmon burgers, watermelon, and baked beans often and to excess.
I'm feeling a little more motivated this week, probably because I have a few days off from cooking in the middle!
Sat: chips/salsa/guac, corn and black bean salad, chipotle chicken quesadillas (took these to the pool and just snacked for the evening) Sun: huli huli chicken, rice, garlicky green beans (so good, I meant to grill pineapple with this and totally forgot though) Mon: DH and I are going to a baseball game (we'll likely get drinks/heavy apps before and try to not spend big $ at the stadium), kids are probably getting DoorDash Tues: out for my birthday! Wed: heading to my parents' marina for fireworks that evening, picking up sandwiches, etc. from a deli there for a picnic Thurs: grilling burgers and zucchini/mushrooms/tomatoes, watermelon Fri: Greek-ish pork tenderloin, lemon potatoes, village salad Sat: grilled shrimp w/ corn, zucchini, tomatoes, and pasta, maybe burrata or fresh mozz on top
Sat: Caesar salads with homemade dressing and shrimp Sun: homemade pesto pasta with broccoli and grilled chicken Mon: BLTs and fries Tues: homemade hamburger helper Wed: grilled chicken thighs, macaroni salad, some sort of veggies Thurs: Ribs, tabouli salad, green salad, homemade strawberry ice cream Friday: potluck at a friends, we are responsible for dessert and will repeat the homemade strawberry ice cream

We're heading out of town on Wednesday so I am trying to use up stuff in the freezer/fridge.
Last night - chicken enchilada rice bake. Tonight - heirloom tomato and burrata salad with grilled chicken and rice Tuesday - chicken gnocchi with broccoli Sunday (when we get back) - tortellini with chicken sausage and salad
When we're away we are doing a mexican night, italian night and then burgers/hot dogs and sausages and one night the adults are going out and the kids are getting pizza.
chicken tostadas, eggs w/ spinach and turkey sausage, NYT Pad Krapow Gai, more chicken tostadas? We're leaving for vacation Sunday morning so it's going to be "eat what we got and try not to buy more shit" week.
I have no idea what we're doing for the 4th. It's hotter than hell here and I don't really want to do anything but sit in the air conditioning. I get a l little envious reading about everyone else's plans that live in milder weather. The 4th weather ALWAYS sucks here, every year.
Monday: Tomato soup with pull-apart rosemary bread Tuesday: chicken verde chili Wednesday: Roasted salmon with dill rice Thursday: pulled pork sandwiches with various salads and sides (all I know is we're bringing the pork) Friday: garlic-scallion chicken salad sandwiches Saturday: leftovers
For vegetarian DS 2 I'm going to try to prepare tofu that will be good in place of the salmon and chicken in Wednesday and Friday's dishes. He's not usually a big fan of tofu, but both proteins have sauces that I think will be tasty on tofu if I can get it crispy on the stovetop. Wish me luck!
We spent a long weekend in Newport, RI before turning around and spending an even longer weekend in NYC this weekend and I'm OVER food- cooking it, thinking about it, going out for it and eating it. I only want acai bowls and nothing else and I want to do no work.
My husband stopped by Trader Joe's and grabbed a few freezer meals, so we'll make do with those before we leave.
S: we had oven roasted baby back ribs, potato salad and coleslaw. We usually use the smoker for ribs, but didn't have the time to do them that way yesterday. We all said they were the best ribs we've made. They were so good.
M: Sicilian sheet pan pizza, wings in the airfryer, salad
T: leftovers/fend
Wed-Sun we'll be at the cottage. So a combination of easy stuff for the grill and eating out.
I am trying hard not to get take out or eat out this week.
Monday- Maybe pasta with a home made cheese sauce Tuesday- Frozen pizza Wednesday- Baked ziti from a local small grocery store Thursday-I don't know since it is the 4th Friday-Sunday- No clue
Sun-Tilapia, pasta, broccoli, Mon-steak, pasta, fruit Tue-fend for yourself night Wed-breakfast Thurs-Sat out of town visiting friends (smoked game hens, smoked ribs, smoked, tri-tip)
