Anyone who knows me is well aware I’m not much into cooking these days. At least not anything I have to *watch* very closely. Combine working online, four helpings of teenagers, two dashes of Mom’s a taxi, a heaping tablespoon of Adult ADD and the only recipe I have is for disaster if a meal requires much more than listening for the smoke alarm to go off.
I myself would be perfectly content with nothing more than a cup of coffee and take outs. For some unknown reason though, children (especially teenagers) seem to think being fed a “real” meal is a necessity. Where do they come up with these ideas?!? I’ve tried repeatedly to convince them otherwise. No dice. They aren’t falling for it.
And so, without further ado (or whining), I give you my menu plan for the week…
Monday: Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops (I buy mine pre-stuffed, but I included the stuffing recipe for those who prefer to make their own.)
Tuesday: Lasagna with Garlic Bread
Wednesday: Homemade Grilled Hamburgers & French Fries
Thursday: Salmon Patties (side items depend on what I’ve got)
Friday: Domino’s Pizza Delivery
Saturday: Fix what You Find Night (Whatever you can find and fix yourself)
Sunday: Sirloin Tip Roast Beef, Carrots and Potatoes
Now that I’ve got a week’s worth of “real meals” planned, my children will be appeased and I can hopefully enjoy my morning coffee in peace and quiet. They’re on their own for breakfast and lunch!

I do love to see others who menu plan “EOFT” (everyone for themselves) and takeout! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
