Empty Nest menu #155 and freezer clean-out

I made fajita tacos using up a package of pre-cooked fajita meat, the rest of the grated cheese, and bakery tortillas which I always have in the fridge.  It was easy to make Mexican rice with a couple spoonfuls of salsa, and a can of black beans smashed with seasonings in a skillet became refrieds.  I have to say, it was very delicious.  And I had enough beans, rice, fajita meat, and cheese to make two containers for my work lunches.
Slowly I am cleaning out my freezer! 

Monday - Salad with chicken breast (romaine, purple onion, tomato, pickles, cheese), garlic roll {off today - prep to paint my bedroom*}
Tuesday - Smash Taco "Burgers" with onions and peppers {noon Tranquility luncheon at work, book club in p.m.}
Wednesday - (freezer) Pulled Pork on baked sweet potato, peas {on call}
Thursday - Beef Stir Fry with pot stickers and mixed veggies {appt. in the afternoon}
Friday - Linguini with chicken meatballs and marinara, green  beans {payday!}
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed

*I know my goal was to put off any room not painted by October, but I'm going to squeeze this one in!
