Shelly's Menu Week 2 and Recap from Week 1

So, here's what really happened for dinner around our house last week:

Monday: Manicotti. It was Jens' first day at his new job so I wanted to make his favorite.
Tuesday: Tater Tot Casserole. Carrie's recipe inspired to me make this old favorite. It also helped because I was trying to clean out our freezer to have room for leftover turkey from Sunday. This happens to be another of Jens' favorites.
Wednesday: Tostadas
Thursday: Korean Beef (bless you Lauretta for introducing me to this recipe. YUM!) It's on my yumprint if you want the recipe.
Friday: Tortellini with zucchini and carrots (I have Angela to thank for this recipe. She made it for us during our Seattle days and I can't count the number of times I've made it since.)
Saturday: Grown-Up Tuna Salad Sandwiches. This is basically the recipe we use every time we need a picnic food. Even if you don't like tuna I think you'll still love this. I get asked for this recipe more than any other recipe I make.
Sunday: Thanksgiving Trial Run. We're doing our own mini dinner so we can enjoy the leftovers.

As you can see, looking at your ideas really influenced what we ate this week. I found myself thinking about you guys as I was preparing meals and it made it brought a smile to my face to think that I wasn't the only one going through meal prep at the time. Thank you!

Here's the plan for this week:

Monday: Sweet Potato Burritos (another recipe from Angela)
Tuesday: Stuffed Spaghetti Bread
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: THANKSGIVING!!! WAHOO!
Friday: Cowboy Quesadillas (this is a favorite for a quick, tasty meal)
Saturday: Ribs in the crockpot and baked potatoes
Sunday: Turkey Noodle Soup

  2. I have never tried the Spaghetti Bread, but I've done the same thing with pizza...it's a fun twist. And, you can substitute it with your own dough if you prefer.
