Monthly Menu May 2022

 Wow, it's been awhile. I had a good tax season - my mind was sharp, I worked hard, and prepared a lot of returns; but, it took all of my energy and I am just now getting some back. (Who am I talking to? My future self, for when I go to look at past menus and I ask myself why I never have anything for April and May!) I have been writing menus, just not posting them, and they often don't get used because we wind up not eating dinner, just having a salad, or getting takeout. So let's get started with a partial May menu.

16 Mon Italian sausage tortellini with thin sliced zucchini in marinara sauce

17 Tue Crock Pot barbecue chicken, steamed sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts

18 Wed Minestrone Soup, corn bread 

19 Thu fish, quinoa, zucchini

20 Fri tacos (everything is in the freezer - leftovers from last time)

21 Sat eat out/takeout

22 Sun Ham from freezer, sweet potatoes, green beans

23 Mon 

24 Tue Sheet pan chicken and veggies, potatoes

25 Wed Fish, quinoa, asparagus

26 Thu Chicken tacos, refried beans, corn

27 Fri Eat out

28 Sat Eat out

29 Sun Pork tenderloin, potatoes, zucchini

30 Mon Burgers, macaroni salad, brussel sprouts

31 Tue Leftovers
