Master To Do List and Menu Plan Monday - May 15, 2023

It's a cool 71 degrees and cloudy here on the tallgrass prairie this morning and more storms are expected this afternoon.

Did you have a nice Mother's Day? Mine here was good. I heard from all but one of my children and was blessed with many sweet offerings of love and honor along the way. 



I feel like I'm cutting it very short this morning, but am running extremely short on time this morning, so am going to head straight on in to today's post. Join me, won't you?

Spiderwort

This week's menu plan...

I need to pick up a few items at the store this week, but am mostly going to focus on using up odd-and-end food items on-hand. Meal plan ideas this week include...

- Pork chop with baked potato and corn-on-the-cob
- Turkey burger with oven fries
- Soup and grilled cheese sandwich with petite carrots and ranch dressing
- Breakfast for supper (turkey bacon, eggs, and toast)
- Wheat Thins with hummus, cottage cheese, and fresh tomato wedges

I plan on eating out a couple of times this week, but will eat up as many leftovers on-hand throughout the week as possible for all other meals.

Prairie Wild Roses Getting Ready to Bloom

Well, I've got to be heading out in just a few minutes, so that's it for today. I hope your week is off to a great start and I'll be with you again soon.

Until next time...

  1. The image of the Bigelow Botanicals tea is one of my fav flavors. I enjoy cold infusion but also hot tea at times. Hope you get some pretty pics during the wildflower hike. Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 112. Shared.

    1. I haven't tried the Bigelow Botanicals, but am excited to have gotten some and will try it soon. I rarely drink iced tea, but, hot tea, generally three times per day ever since I can remember. I will try to get some good pics of the wildflower walk and will post them if I do. Thanks for stopping by to comment and thanks for sharing! Blessings!
