What's on the Menu—June
/My favorite month is here! Here’s what’s on our menu—
Week of June 1
M—Leftovers
T—Burgers and Potato Chips
W—Bruschetta Chicken served over Spaghetti Noodles (I just use a store-bought Balsamic Glaze instead of making my own. It saves a lot of time and tastes way better.)
TH—Chipotle Beef Bowls (these are so good!)
F—Quesadillas and Aztec Salsa (also one of our favorites)
Su—Mexican Bow Ties (hoping to share this recipe soon)
Week of June 8
M—Leftovers
T—Pasta with Sausage, Peppers, and Rao’s Marinara Sauce
W—Taco Bowls (Finn requested these. I use ground beef with taco seasoning, and then let everyone pick their own toppings: avocado, corn, black beans, shredded cheese, and cilantro)
F—Italian Pork Sandwiches (the recipe calls for chicken, but I like to use pork loin; use fresh red peppers if you can’t find roasted ones. Add black olives.)
S—I would love to try this Dan Dan Noodle recipe, but it’s probably too spicy for my kids. So we’ll see. Maybe we’ll get chinese takeout instead. :)
Su—Takeout and Homemade Birthday Cake because it’s my birthday!
Week of June 15
M—Leftovers
T—Tuscan Pasta Salad (add spicy italian sausage and leave out blue cheese; great for leftovers for lunch during the week)
W—Takeout
TH—Grilled Hawaiian Chicken and Teriyaki Bowls
F—Skirt Steak with Pinto Beans
S—Snacky Dinner (we pull out cheese, crackers, and some fruits and veggies for this)
Su—Dinner at Dylan’s parent’s house to celebrate Father’s Day
Week of June 22
M—Sticky Sesame Ginger Meatballs (hopefully these taste as good as they look!)
T—Grilled Brats
TH—Leftovers or Takeout
Su—Pizza (takeout or homemade)
Week of June 29
M—Spicy Tuna Cakes (these are another favorite in our house)
T—Glazed Five Spice Burger (We haven’t made these in a long time, but we remember them being really tasty.)
Do you have any fun plans this month, or new recipes you’re hoping to try out? I’d love to hear!
