I am under strict orders to rest. For the next several weeks my husband will be doing the shopping, so the menus may seem simplified, skimpy, or even repetitive. I plan on using this as an opportunity to improve my 12 year old stepdaughter’s basic cooking skills. I will not turn her into Cinderella, but there are times when we all have to pitch in, it’s part of being a family. Health and budgetwise we just cannot afford frequent take-out.
- Monday – Black bean taco salad
- Tuesday – Spaghetti w/ zucchini and summer squash in basic marinara
- Wednesday – No cooking, we have been invited to a pot-luck.
- Thursday – chicken ka-bobs, grilled corn, confetti rice
- Friday – tuna melts, raw vegetables & dip
- Saturday – chili-macaroni, tossed salad
- Sunday – roast beef, roast potatoes, cucumber salad, green beans

Your menu plan still looks good though! No Hamburger Helper in sight! I hope you can get your rest and feel good! Have a wonderful week!
I have my 11-year-old daughter learning to prepare simple dinners too. And you have made a simple but yummy menu!
Yum–kabobs, my favorite! Great week you have planned
You do your best to rest. Looks like a easy plan.

Hello,
I like the black bean taco salad recipe. It sounds so yummy. And, big plus– black beans are so good for you. (Not that healthy is my main focus when eating a taco salad:)
The tuna melts also sound great; I haven’t had one in years.
Take Care,
Trixie
Great menu plan. I’ll have to find my recipe for tuna melts too; haven’t had them in too long.
Have a great week.
Relax, keep your feet up and let the family take care of you!
Sounds like an excellent plan! Take care of you and enjoy the rest as best as you can!!
