Weekly Menu Plan Week of May 17-23, 2020

Hi there!  Another week has flown by.  Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend!  No race here in Indianapolis this year, which makes me sad.  But hopefully it will happen later this summer.  I had kind of a busy week, cleaning and cooking and going to a little mini-graduation celebration for my granddaughter.  Just family, but we wanted to celebrate her last day of high school!  Before I know it, the summer will be over and she will be off to college.  Seems impossible!   They all grow up so fast. 

This week I'm a little frustrated.  My freezer has filled up with a bunch of stuff I never will use, and don't even know why I bought it.  Does that ever happen to you?  I sift through all the food in there, and I find bags of some kind of quick bread I've made and frozen.  I didn't label it, so I have no idea if it's gluten free or not.  I have a bunch of packages of frozen veggies like edamame, that sorry, I don't like, and have no idea why I bought them.  I have several bags of almond flour, which I will use, but they take up so much space! I have about 10 packages of Reames frozen egg noodles, which I tend to buy when I see them because my entire family loves chicken noodle soup with Reames frozen egg noodles.  Except I never use them, because then I can't eat the soup.  So I use rice noodles instead, and just keep buying the frozen egg noodles for some reason.  Also, we have several large cartons of ice cream that hopefully we will eat soon as the weather warms up.  I have got to get that freezer cleared out without wasting food!  So I am trying to use up some of it this week so I can make room for some meat that I need.   I really need to be better organized!

So here is this week's menu plan.  Nothing real fancy, but I am looking forward to making these meals!
