It's the start of the last summer month ... How did that happen???? And, at least in my area, it's "fresh produce" season, with a lot of fruit and veggies coming to market.

August 4 - 11, 2024
Sunday:
still contemplating what to make ... may do burgers, or possibly grill a chicken breast
Monday: on the road with friends, dinner out
Tuesday: depends on when DBIL gets here -- either pizza at his favorite place OR grilled BBQ chicken, roasted vegetables, and a watermelon side (going to try some the way my DD and DSIL have been eating it; will share if it's as good as they claim)
Wednesday: Ladies Night Out garden fundraiser
Thursday: tuna on the grill, salad, green beans or peas
Friday: pizza, side salad -- unless DBIL and I do pizza on Tuesday; if so, substitute Tuesday's menu plan
Saturday: steak on the grill, corn on the cob, salad
Sunday: pork roast, baked sweet potato, coleslaw

In front of my computer
1-Friday -Culver’s-bun-less hamburgers for the ladies and Dh had a fish sandwich all with mango smoothies
2-Saturday-Steak and mushrooms for us and DD had pizza (she is not fond of steak)
3-Sunday-will decide later-Dh loves tuna casserole so might do that if he goes to get tuna ( I have a can of gluten free cream of mushroom soup)
4-Monday-My birthday(so not tuna casserole)
5-Tuesday-Victoria’s, probably Seafood Alfredo for all 3 of us-did not go, ate tater tots
6-Wednesday-Something easy since we will have had the drive back from Mayo, maybe chicken wings and Disney Noodles—-Update had hot dogs, beans and potato salad
7-Thursday-Thinking DS might be over to fix me a Birthday dinner or he will do it on the coming weekend

Yep, I hate tuna. Dh and I are complete opposites when it comes to food. His favorite dish is tuna casserole and mine is lobster. lol

I've been doing better with following a menu plan the last two weeks. I didn't make what I had planned for each night on the exact night, but I did make it on one of the nights of the week. I ditched what was planned for tonight for the leftovers.

We're going to a favorite restaurant tomorrow night with our children and grandchildren, so no cooking.

Sunday - 11th Double Corn Chowder with Fried Hot Water Cornbread
Monday - 12th Baked Chicken, Rice, Green Beans
Tuesday - 13th Baked Pork Chops with Apple, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Broccoli
Wednesday - 14th (Church) Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Soup
Thursday - 15th TBD - have post-op checkup in Jackson, Mississippi
Friday - 16th Fish, Baked Potatoes
Saturday - 17th Grilled Stuff - sausage, chicken, fresh pineapple, stuffed jalapenos, salad

I keep changing my mind about this week...partly due to not feeling well and partly due to going out of town at the end of the week....

Tonight - Chicken with Rice (Mama had some leftover rotisserie chicken, so just need to throw things together to let them cook)
Really, a rice pilaf type-dish with chicken
Tuesday - Beef tips, Rice, Purple Hull Peas, Broccoli
Wednesday - Boiled Shrimp, Baked Potatoes
Thursday - Blackened Fish, Roasted Vegetables
Friday - Monday - out of town....they're on their own!!
