Dinner This Week - 01.10.2016

This week is a little mixed-up from what its original plan entailed. A family funeral substantially altered my trip to Western Nebraska for work so we might get to eat some o the things I planned last week and we didn't get to. A combination of unexpected sales at the grocery store (this always happens when I go somewhere unplanned and different) and changes in evening plans.

Ham, turkey or big roast tip: I like smaller cutting boards that fit in my dishwasher, but they don't collect the juices so I put the cutting board in a half-sheet pan to keep the mess contained.
Sunday - Intensive Effort
Baked Ham
Roasted Baby Potatoes
Green Beans
Apple Crisp
Monday - Soup/Sandwich/Salad
This week we have visitation for the funeral and Jr. FLL practice so I am not making a plan. Dinner out or leftovers will suit us just fine.
Tuesday - Slow Cooker
Ham and Beans
Cornbread
Oranges
Wednesday - International
I'll be out of town so frozen pizza
Thursday - Leftovers (Refashioned, if possible)
Scalloped Potatoes and Ham
Veg TBD
Berries
Friday - Grill Night
Leftovers this week.
Saturday - Dinner Out

Dinner This Week - 09.28.14

Last week included a trip out of town for work and a trip out of town for fun so dinner plans were nonexistent. This week is a little crazy in our world, too. Monday is my sorority meeting. I'm super excited to be back advising the professional sorority of which I was in as an undergraduate student after a break. Sigma Alpha is a tremendous opportunity for young women with a heart for agriculture. I'm even more excited that for tomorrow night's sisterhood event, they opted for yoga! I need it this week. :)

Tuesday is a big work day. The Nebraska Department of Roads is building a bridge about 2 1/2 hours from the office with a lot of innovative technology meant to reduce the time and cost of building a bridge on a low-volume road. I'm hosting an open house for roads professionals at the construction site. In addition, we are broadcasting a live web cam with time lapse photography that has been a bit of a headache this week. Fortunately, we installed with time to fix before too much happens on-site.

The middle of the week is quiet, which is good as Friday is a licensure exam for my job ... a six-hour exam with a six inch stack of study materials to go with it.

The rest of the family's schedule is normal this week except that harvest is ramping up and and G is starting to get busier at work, too.

Dinner this week will hinge on our ability to plan and execute! Here goes ...

Sunday
Beef stew with fresh potatoes and carrots, garlic bread, watermelon, and apple crisp
Monday
Dinner out!
Tuesday
Breakfast for Dinner - Scrambled eggs and toast or French toast or Apple pancakes
Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday
Sausage, potato and green bean skillet dinner and fruit

Simple Shrimp Gyro Sliders

My trip to Costco last week was the entire inspiration behind this particular discovery. Giant juicy shrimp, tangy tzatziki sauce, and mini ...
