Menu Plan Monday

It is too hot to cook!

With that in mind, I’m looking to start using my slow cooker and toaster oven more. My goal is to not have to turn on the oven at all. I don’t use it that much anyway, so should be pretty easy to do. I’ve noticed though that even just using the stove is making it unbearable in here. It would help if I’d get around to calling the landlord about my A/C not working well. I want to clean up a little first, but it’s too hot to clean! LOL

Now on to this weeks…

Menu Plan Monday

Monday: Frozen Pizza

Tuesday: Stuffed Peppers

Wednesday: Beef Stroganoff with Brown Rice or Mashed Cauliflower

Thursday: Spaghetti Squash with Alfredo Sauce, Steak and broccoli

Friday: Angel Chicken with broccoli

I’ve decided I’m only going to plan five days a week throughout most of the summer. Sometimes Andrew isn’t here because he ends up staying with his grandma or aunt, so I’ll just shuffle things around accordingly. When he’s not home I don’t always fix a dinner. I usually just have a sandwich or snack off and on or something.
