Menu Plan Monday: Uninspired by Fall

November 8, 2015

It's getting towards the end of the year, holidays, stress, and everything else that makes me just want to crawl under a rock until the beginning of March. I have no motivation. Time to get out of the house, so I went for a walk. It's only supposed to be 70 today (hallelujah!) By the time I got to my destination, less than a mile away, I was sweating. I hate Houston. Why do I even bother taking a shower?

Gorgeous weather, right? Then why am I sweating?!?

Speaking of showers, I was trying to plan this week's menu during mine. The only thing I could think of was spaghetti (squash) and meatballs. I'm also quite uninspired, the focus in the household since November 1 has been to get the menu together for Thanksgiving, which requires clearing out the apartment-sized refrigerator to make room for all of the extra food. Which makes me feel like "Why bother feeding anyone for the next two weeks?"
But, here goes. The hungry teen has been complaining that there's not enough food in the house. The pantry is full and I finally had to breakdown and buy new Tupperware for the leftovers. Why won't anyone eat leftovers?

Sunday: Orange Chicken
