It’s been weeks since I menu planned for one reason or another and it has caused me so much more stress. This week we are hoping to have out-of-town visitors for the weekend and I want to make sure I have delicious food for them to eat.
Monday – green beans, potatoes, and smoked pork chops cooked in the Instant Pot for 15 minutes then natural pressure release.
- Fresh Green Beans (whole bag from Costco)
- 1/2 package of smoked pork chops, approximately 1 cup chopped up. (could use ham if you prefer)
- 5-6 small potatoes peeled and cubed
- 4 cups of chicken or beef broth
- Season to your heart’s content with your favorite spices. I like Kinder’s Buttery Steakhouse Rub or Dash Salt-Free Seasoning Blend
Tuesday – Chicken Salad with Grapes and ham & turkey with cheese sliders, using Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls, served with chips and fresh veggies on the side. We’ll have Strawberry Fluff, AKA Strawberry Angel Food Cake for dessert.
Wednesday – my kids love Breakfast for dinner so pretty much every Wednesday this is what we’ll have. We have one of these sandwich makers and it works great!
Thursday – Egg Roll in a Bowl over rice. I needed a new skillet but decided a wok would be even better and hold more food and I fell in love with this one.
Friday – Crockpot Creamy Pierogi and Kielbasa Casserole
Saturday – grilled hamburgers and chips for lunch and California Medley Chicken over rice
- 2 lbs of chicken breast, cut into approx 1 inch cubes
- 1 large bag, approx 4-5 cups of frozen California Medley Vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots)
- 1 small bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing, 16 fl oz
- Cooked rice
– If curious I have a Char-broil grill that’s similar to this one but I’d LOVE to add to my grilling collection with this Blackstone Flat Top.
Sunday – Crockpot Cubed Steak served over mashed potatoes with green beans on the side.
