Midweek Meal Planning 5/28/15

Welcome back to Midweek Meal Planning for the week of 5/28/15! It’s more traditional to meal plan on the weekend, but since our Chicago grocery deals mostly flip midweek, and since Wednesday hump day is when many of us start running out of steam, we buck the trend here and go with Wednesdays. Or Thursdays, on a crazy week…

It’s been another week o’ grilling over at the Mashup Mom household, what with Memorial Day and all. So here’s what’s what:

• Sunday: Memorial Day BBQ grilling (brats, hamburgers, portobellos, corn, watermelon, all that good stuff). Junior High Guy and I also made this gluten free dairy free Chocolate Ganache for dessert.
• Monday: BBQ leftovers.
• Tuesday: Leftover chicken from the end of last week.
• Wednesday: Oven roasted BBQ turkey breast (pictured above; recipe to come Sunday!). Jennie-O was $1.00/lb on the Mariano’s 5 day sale over the long weekend, so I picked one up for just over $7.00.
• Thursday: It’s Chipotle fundraiser day for the school district’s new playground fund, so we’ll probably do that. (If you stop by the Oakbrook Terrace Chipotle today May 28 between 4-8 PM please tell the cashier you’re supporting School District 45 Project Playground, and 50% of the proceeds will be donated — thanks!)
• Friday: Leftover BBQ turkey.
• Saturday: Inspire me, please. 🙂 I’m not thrilled by this week’s sales, so probably something out of the freezer.

Your turn
