Menu plan for the week of June 29

Finally (finally), it's going to be July this week.  Anybody else feel like this summer is lasting for.ev.er?  Like seriously, it feels like it should be nearing the end of July, rather than the end of June.  I'm surprised every time I look at the calendar.  The fact that we're in for a solid two weeks (maybe longer) of decidedly late July/early August weather makes it seem even more so like we should be closer to the end of summer.

Although honestly, this year, the end of summer might just mean cooler weather, rather than the usual kids heading back to school.  I definitely do not envy our school district's decision makers right now (or ever, really).  No matter what they decide, there will be a significant portion of stakeholders not happy about it, and there will definitely be Monday morning quarterbacking on this decision.

Anyway, here's what we're eating this week.

Supper:

• Shepherd's pie, rolls, applesauce
• Nachos, guacamole, taco toppings
• Lemon butter steak and broccoli (probably with additional broccoli on the side)
• Kielbasa and cauliflower stir fry/Kielbasa and potatoes, mixed veggies
• Grilled pork chops, grilled Brussels sprouts, garlic toast
• Grilled bone-in chicken breast (if I can find any--I haven't actually seen any in stores in at least 6 months, maybe longer), corn on the cob, watermelon
• Hamburgers, buns, chips, carrots

Other:

• Italian cauliflower salad
• Italian pasta salad
• Muffins
• Biscuits and gravy (I'm hoping this stores and reheats well--I'm getting a little weary of my usual meal prep egg bake)
