Struggling with
What to Cook for Dinner?
This week’s menu plan is a little different. My hubby will be on vacation this week, so I decided not to plan our lunches or breakfasts at all.
I was thinking about taking the whole week off from menu planning, but decided that could be a disaster to our wallet, not having a plan and eating out too often.
I planned our dinners for the week below. But I didn’t plan breakfasts or lunches. We can always resort to eating sandwiches for lunch and toast and eggs for breakfast, so I don’t really need a plan for those meal this week.
But I’m sure we’ll eat something more special for breakfast like pancakes or waffles.
And if we are out and about we are likely to pick up lunch once or twice during the week.
I’ve also included a few 4th of July treat ideas for your celebration below.

Your menu looks good, Shelly! I hope you and your family enjoy a fun and relaxing week! 🙂
Thanks Sandra!
Your menu looks so good, as usual 🙂
I haven’t decided what to make for the 4th yet…usually we have burgers on the grill and some sort of side dish, like corn on the cob, potato salad, etc. I’ll have to check with my husband and see what he’d like to eat.
Are you allowed to buy fireworks to use at your house? We always had a lot of fun setting off fireworks in the middle of the street on the 4th when I lived in California, but they are not allowed here in Maryland. We have to try to find somewhere to go to see them, or just watch the PBS show from Washington D.C.
We can buy fireworks where we live. Nothing that leaves the ground. Things like sparklers, fountains and stuff like that. But in Washington state, just over the river from us, you can purchase the big fireworks like people see at firework events. So in our neighborhood there is quite a display all around us each year. It so sad you can’t have fireworks at all. 🙁 I hope you have a great 4th of July!
