Meal Planning Monday #236

You know what really screws me up?

A holiday on a Wednesday.

I mean…right smack dab in the middle of the week.

Also…I’ve always thought that July 5th should be a holiday too…because it’s very hard for me to get motivated the morning after July 4th.  Between the food, fun, friends and fireworks…I’m in no mood to you know…adult the day after.

Sigh.

That being said, here’s a Meal Planning Monday to help us cope with this crazy week.  Four (EASY!) suppers, a burger recipe for your Fourth, a yummy side, appetizer and dessert for your holiday too.  Let’s do this, Monday.

We have been out of town and away from our beloved Tex-Mex these last few weeks, so we are kicking things off with easy (and flavorful!) Flank Steak Tacos.  There is really nothing complicated about this recipe at all.  It’s perfect for a Monday night!

There just isn’t anything easier to make for dinner than a sheet tray supper.  Try my Lemon Chicken & Chickpea supper for your July 4th Eve dinner.  It’s easy to make and even easier to clean up!

Your Fourth needs my Steak & Wedge Burgers.  They’re kind of fancy…but easy at the same time.  Plus, they’re “bleu” for your Red, White & Blue day!  You also need to make these on the Fourth…

…Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños.  Trust me.  You do.  For a side?  This…

…The Best Baked Beans.  I promise you…we will be having these on Wednesday!

And wrap up your holiday with these for dessert…

…Red, White & Blue Ice Cream Cones!

On Thursday?  The day after the fun that we’ve decided should also be a holiday?  Make this for dinner…

…Pulled Pork Stuffed Potatoes.  The slow cooker does almost all of the work for you.

Finally, wrap up your week with this on Friday…

…Shrimp & Corn Pasta.  Yum.

Happy Monday, friends.  It’s good to be back with you today. xo
