We’ve had some crazy high temps here lately. Like triple digit hot. I actually don’t mind it too much. I’d much rather be warm than cold. It does keep me from wanting to do a lot of cooking though or turning on the oven. This week my goal is to find recipes that are not only easy but summer friendly. And maybe the kiddos will even eat them too. One can hope.
Trader Joe’s fish nuggets with veggies
Have ya’ll tried any of TJ’s frozen foods? We visit maybe once a month and I usually stock up on 3 or 4 different things. They are nice to have in the freezer as back up meals. We tried their turkey corn dogs this past week and yum! We also like their Mandarin Orange Chicken and Fried Rice with chicken.
One Pot Ranch Chicken and Rice
Instant Pot Red Beans and Rice
Leftover Night!
Pizza Night – another yummy frozen option from Trader Joe’s
Looks like I am going Instant Pot heavy this week! If you haven’t added this tool to your kitchen yet, you are missing out!
And my menu went through a bit of a change on Monday night when I realized I forgot to pause Hello Fresh AND Blue Apron deliveries. So those will be our weekend meals and thankfully a friend is taking the Hello Fresh off my hands.
Took this photo a week ago when Oma was here for a visit.
