Lemon Drop Cookies {Weekly Menu Plan}
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!
- Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken
- Jasmine Rice
- Garlic Parmesan Broccoli
Monday
Eggs aren’t just meant for breakfast!Culinary Hill gives a quick mini quiche recipe with four ways to make and serve to satisfy everyone in the family! This would be a great recipe for parties too!

- Sliced Peaches
Tuesday
It’s Taco Tuesday with a delicious spin on chicken tacos from Gimme Delicious!

Wednesday
I will confess that I love Red Lobster. Particularly the Crab Alfredo. I can’t wait to go back, but until then this fits the bill! Lorente shares a tasty copycat version I think you’ll love.

Thursday
Thursday is chicken night in our house. Let’s try Revere World Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken. Sounds amazing!

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!
- Easy Homemade Corn Dogs
- Chips

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.
