Weekly Menu Planning - August 2024

Hi Everyone! Our small family is back together again, and now looking toward the fall and Lulu’s departure to college with excitement, nerves, and wistfulness. I focused on family favorites for our first full week at home together since mid June.

Mon: za’atar chicken with fattoush (Nigella)

Tues: broccoli and sausage rigatoni

Wed: suddenly felt sick, spent the afternoon and evening in bed; pizza was ordered

Thurs: Asian fried shrimp sandwiches (I use frozen popcorn shrimp, which makes this a walk in the park. Really delicious too: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022293-salt-and-pepper-shrimp-rolls?algo=identity&fellback=true&imp_id=1342584543655247&req_id=8461671451907755&surface=cooking-search-web&variant=0_relevance_reranking), Vietnamese slaw

Fri: Soyrizo and black bean stew (basically chili) with tortilla chips

Sat: ordered from the local Sichuan restaurant.

Sun: LLD supposed to cook, but he’s out on a long bike ride, so we’ll cut him a break and do carry out again if he comes home too bushed.

Hope everyone is able to stay cool, and that Debbie doesn’t wreck any plans. Have a wonderful week!
