A Jason’s Deli opened near us not too long ago, and I learned last week that Monday is kids’ night. Which means free kids meals. So we’re going to give it a try.
Tuesday: Hot ham & cheese sandwiches
Poppy chose grilled cheese sandwiches for her kids’ choice pick. I didn’t think that would be sufficient for the grownups in the household, so I’ll be throwing some ham on our sandwiches.
Wednesday: Grilled pork sliders
I made these a few times last summer, and now I can’t find the recipe I used. If I still can’t find it by Wednesday, I’ll wing it.
Thursday: Quiche
I’m going out to dinner with a friend (yay!), so Rockford will be making a quiche. One of the pourable ones from the freezer section. They’re so easy, and they’re pretty tasty, too.
Our grocery store sells roasted pork tenderloins in the roasted chicken area. I wondered if I might be able to use cooked pork in a stir-fry. We’ll find out this evening.
I made this last weekend for my mother-in-law’s birthday, and Rockford requested it again this week. It wasn’t spicy enough last week, so this week I’ll be using the whole can of masaman.
Wednesday: Banh mi burgers
My dad is visiting this week, and he really liked these when I made them in meatball form. The burgers are easier to assemble, though, so I’m hoping he likes them just as much that way.
Thursday: Fish stick po’ boys
Not gourmet, but definitely simple and tasty.
Friday: Pizza
I think we might order pizza this week. In fact, I’m 99.9% sure of it.
I found some Frontera cooking sauce at our discount grocery store, and I also have two avocados left over from last night’s dinner. So we’ll be having fancy tacos tonight!
Tuesday: Fish stick po’ boys
This isn’t just to make up for the fanciness of Monday’s dinner. It was actually Poppy’s choice for kids’ choice night. Although she won’t be eating her fish sticks on a sandwich, because that would be too adventurous.
Wednesday: Red beans & rice
We never ate the red beans & rice last week, so here they are again!
Thursday: Cheeseburgers
This was Rockford’s request, which tells me last week’s cheeseburgers were a hit.
Friday: Pizza
We found a local pizzeria that sells pizza dough for $3. It’s enough to make one large pizza. I’m so much more likely to make pizza at home if we buy it from them rather than relying on myself to remember to make the dough in time to turn it into pizza. Also, it’s really good pizza dough.
