Menu #18

Aloha!  We are back from Hawaii, and it was absolutely awesome!!!  Maui was utterly breathtaking from their rainforests to their black sand beaches.  We visited the Iao Needle, Maui Ocean Center, and took the Road to Hana with many, many beach stops throughout the trip.  

Returning home is leaving me with mixed feelings of sorrow from leaving paradise mixed with happiness to getting back to the comforts and familiarity of routine.  Our internal time clock has been screwed with so it’s a little hard to get back to regular sleep patterns and eating times again.  My first step at trying to get back to normality is planning our weekly menu, and here it is. . .

Wednesday:  Slow-Cooker Chicken & Brown Rice Burritos w/ salsa, guacamole & green salad w/ cilantro-jalapeno yogurt dressing

Here’s another step into getting into the groove of things…Xavier’s 1^st soccer practice is this evening!  He’s really excited and practices are at 5 pm, so the crock pot is usually my kitchen BFF during sports seasons for us.

Thursday:  Panko Fish w/ smashed red potatoes & zucchini ribbons

Friday:  Leftovers

Saturday:  Grilled Turkey Dogs w/ veg chili & grilled vegetable pasta salad

Sunday:  BBQ Tri-Tip w/ leftover veg pasta salad & green salad
