Happy October! This is my PLAN for the week. Whether or not it holds will be an entirely different story.

Oct. 1 - 8, 2023
Sunday: Crock-Pot Crazy Pineapple Chili, coleslaw, corn bread (Will prob. be regular chili on the stovetop, since I was missing a couple of ingredients and couldn't start it this morning.) https://twohealthykitchens.com/crock-pot-crazy-pineapple-chili/
Monday: pork chop, baked apples, baked sweet potato w/brown sugar, coleslaw
Tuesday: grilled chicken, chopped salad, grilled veggie skewer
Wednesday: Souper Supper -- tomato celery soup, grilled cheese, assorted pickles

Friday: pizza, tossed salad
Saturday: steakhouse dinner out with DBiL's gf [late DH's brother's gf, none of my DSis's DH's have a gf, as far as I know, lol!) There's a local steakhouse that she's heard a lot about over the years with DBIL, and she specifically asked if we could have dinner there.
Sunday: late lunch / early dinner out with DBIL's gf and DD before Bonnie Raitt concert.

I am in much the same boat. I have lost my mojo a little. Time to get back to meal planning.

I also haven’t gotten back on track with meal planning.
I have salmon patties, spaghetti, ALDI’s frozen orange chicken, and brats in the the freezer/frig/pantry to use this week.

That chili and cornbread and coleslaw sounds like a meal I want to include next week!!
