Sunday Dinner Tonight- 9/30
Happy Sunday! It wasn’t exactly a day of rest over here, but we did manage to get ourselves out of bed and make it to church this morning. I always feel better during the week after I go to church on Sundays. Today we heard a great (and really unique) sermon about the importance of loving everyone, regardless of what their faith is. Words to live by! Then I did my usual meal planning and grocery shopping and before I knew it…time for dinner!
Tonight we had shrimp scampi pasta (another Barefoot Contessa recipe) and a salad of romaine lettuce. The flavors in this pasta are so simple and classic (garlic, lemon, a little parsley) but SO delicious. Sometimes simple is better.
Meal plan for the week:
Monday: pulled pork BBQ sandwiches, BBQ baked beans, asian slaw
Tuesday: crockpot chicken tacos, mexican rice, refried beans
Wednesday: asian salmon, fried rice, bok choy
Thursday: spaghetti and crockpot meat sauce, salad
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: in-laws coming to visit!
Thanks for reading!
