Meal Plan Monday #250

We are way behind on meal plans. With semester exams, holidays, travel, and all, we didn't do a lot of meal planning, but now we're back in the grind! This semester, Darren and I have different late days at work. It's harder on us, but it makes things easier on Halley pup - we try to consider all family members when making big decisions.

Two semesters ago, when we both got home late on Wednesdays, Halley was unhappy. She was off schedule and anxious. This semester, we trying late nights on different days, so she's never just home alone in the evenings. I hope it helps her be less anxious. She's a good dog friend, and her health and safety are important to me.

Sunday:  Macaroni and Cheese (with MSU edam) and Roasted Vegetables

Monday:  Hamburgers and Chips

Tuesday:  Ham, Corn Pudding, and Green Beans

Wednesday: Darren's Fried Rice

Thursday:  Lib's Chef Salad

Friday:  Date Night! Lib's Pick!

Meal Plan Monday #249

The holidays are coming to an end. We had a lot of fun with friends and family. Of course, there's never enough time to do everything we'd like to do, but I feel relaxed and revived after spending time with loved ones.

We both had new year's day off, but different start dates. Darren started on Tuesday, so I tried something new. I started on Wednesday, so we reserved a simple supper for the first day we were both back at work.

Monday:  New Year's Day! Black-eyed Peas (Southern tradition)

Tuesday:  Short Ribs with Rutabaga and Carrots, Edam Cheese Grits, and Roasted Cabbage

Wednesday:  Grilled Chicken (#5) Caesar Salad

Thursday:  Pepperoni, Sausage, Peppers, and Mushroom Pizza

Friday:  Date Night! Darren's Pick!
