For a couple of weeks I tried to wing it with dinners and basically, it was too hard.
Red Lentil Spaghetti topped with Italian sausage and marinara, side of spinach
I was feeding myself, but I wasn't really enjoying it, since I didn't have a good plan in place for days when I was too tired from work and had nothing prepped.
Dinners seemed like too much trouble. I can't cook on the fly like that, I get too tired to think.
Leftover chicken strips, salad, a zucchini
Sauteed red pepper, mozzarella stuffed gnocci, tilapia
So.
Back to the menus - Empty Nest, because "new life" sounds more joyous than it actually is.
******Monday - Grilled Chicken, Lemon Rosemary Zucchini {on call thru Th}
Tuesday - Jalapeno Salmon Burger with avocado and tomato (and chips, if there are any in the pantry left from Christmas)
Wednesday - Wine Wednesday with The Girl {my first grief counseling appointment, trees pruned, undecorate from Christmas}
Thursday - Poblano Lime Tilapia, side salad {work on the yards day}
Friday - Crock Pot Country Ribs, baked sweet potato, broccoli
Saturday - Freezer clean out item, salad {thrift shop in Burnet, check on Highlands, beer at STW}
Sunday - Chicken Enchiladas, Garden Lime Crunch Chopped Salad, Mexican Street Corn (The Girl is coming to dinner)

Love all the yummy and healthy foods here!
ReplyDeleteI admire you for planning meals so well. I have ended up getting a meal service delivered weekly. I get 3 meals/2 servings each. Cook one day and warm up the next. Hope you find the grief counseling beneficial. I did a loss of spouse group counseling and really found it helpful.
