This post contains affiliate links. I love that we’re much closer to Michigan since we moved to New York, but now we also have to contend with winter weather. Much of our drive to Michigan takes us through the lake effect snow regions, which can be unpredictable. Bookworm finished school on Wednesday, so we drove over on Tuesday and brought him home Wednesday night. Lucky for us, those were the only snow-free days in a 10 day forecast. We had clear weather for the trip, which was nice.
Meal Prep
For meal prep, I repeated what we made a few weeks ago. Blueberry Baked Oatmeal. is a favorite around here, and I made the krispy treats for myself. I can’t have chocolate or any caffeine, so the krispy treats are a nice holiday dessert I can eat.
Menu Plan
Saturday
Lunch–Asian Noodles
Dinner–Slow Cooker Beef Stew, bread with butter
Sunday
Lunch–okinamiyaki
Dinner–Baby back ribs, diced potatoes, green beans
Monday
Lunch–sandwiches, apple slices
Dinner–Hamburger Soup, bread with butter
Tuesday
Lunch–lunch was in the car, so I packed leftover Beef Stew in thermoses
Dinner–Slow Cooker Chili Verde Soup (I had made this for Bookworm for college, and he still had some left in the freezer. It was nice to come to MI after a 7 hour drive and have a freezer meal waiting for us.)
Wednesday
Lunch–snacky food–beef jerky, banana muffins, nuts
Dinner–Chipotle (on the road)
Thursday
Lunch–leftover fried rice & miso soup my husband made while we were away
Dinner–pulled pork sandwiches (from our ButcherBox order), tater tots, roasted broccoli
Friday
Lunch–Daiya burritos, refried beans, cucumber slices
Dinner–Indian Dal & rice (I had a few of these microwave packages in the pantry from our trip from Arizona to Michigan. I didn’t cook this night because we went to a movie and the girls each ate a tub of popcorn and weren’t hungry for dinner. I heated these up for my husband and Bookworm and had a single-serving freezer meal for myself.)
