Hello! I hope you’re enjoying the weekend! It’s that time again…meal planning for the week! As always, I’m linking up with Jill Conyers and Mommy Run Fast to share What’s For Dinner!
Last Week Recap:
We had a pretty solid week, but things didn’t go exactly to plan. Even though I was preparing chicken in the slow cooker, on Sunday we ventured out and went to an awesome spot, Grace Tavern, for the most incredible burgers and blackened green beans!

So that pushed us back a day. We ended up not having the pasta, and I didn’t get to make those sweet potato fries. I really wanted to make that lasagna, but since my butternut squash is already cubed, it wouldn’t quite work. On Friday night and Saturday night we went out for dinner since Bret’s parents are in town. Everything has been delicious! While it’s been fun and very filling, I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen and make some fun dishes!
Dinners for the Week:
Sunday 5/25: Out to eat with the family
Monday 5/26: Chicken and Brussels sprouts with salad
Tuesday 5/27: Finally finishing off the Bean Burgers and making those Baked Sweet Potato Fries!
Wednesday 5/28: Black Bean and Butternut Squash Burritos from Oh She Glows, I’m so excited about this one!
Thursday 5/29: Penne Pasta with Garden Salad
Friday 5/30: Flounder, asparagus, carrots and quinoa
Saturday 5/31: Mandarin Orange Chicken and Vegetables
Do you have a special meal for Memorial Day? What are you looking forward to eating this week?


Love love the Oh She Glows burritos! We grill burgers and hot dogs every year on Memorial Day. It’s tradition.
Those beans look awesome! And oh my word, can I eat at your house this week? Your meals sound so good! 😉 I’ve also been looking out for cheap-ish asparagus where I live, but super markets always have insanely expensive produce and the markets still haven’t gotten it.
We aren’t doing anything special for Memorial Day, but I am hoping to make a potato salad and corn on the cob. That’s about as holiday as we’ll get. 🙂
I love your meals! I don’t have any specific Memorial Day meals, but just spend a lot of time with those that mean a lot to me. Great post.
Oh my goodness, blackened green beans??? Yes please!
Wow! That picture of the blackened green beans is mouthwatering. So so yummmmy!
I haven’t tried the burritos from OSG cookbook, but that sounds pretty tasty, too! Blackened green beans sound yum, I want to make that!
