Welcome to My Weekly Menu Plan!

Temperatures are rising!

I am so ready for Fall even though Summer seems a little non-existent this year!

However, the Sun is heating up this weekend! 109 degrees here in California!

So, let’s keep things simple and fresh for awhile longer!

Let’s see what’s cooking!

Sunday

Simplicity is still the order of the day on Sundays. Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken from Dinner Then Dessert has an AMAZING recipe!

Friday

Friday is our take it easy night for dinner. Quick and simple so we can spend the evening relaxing without a lot of meal prep or clean up. When I was growing up we often had inexpensive family get togethers and served corn dogs. Chef in Training has a sweet and easy recipe. Perfect for a Friday night get together!

Saturday

Saturday night is usually reserved for going out or ordering take out. It is a special treat we budget for ourselves. Dinner is followed by church or movie. Saturday is my favorite day of the week.
