We’ve got a getaway planned for much of this week, so the next two days are all about using up what’s in the fridge. No grocery shopping needed. 
That will be just fine considering the rather bountiful meals we consumed over the weekend!
Saturday
- buttermilk pancakes with strawberry topping (from my “pay attention!” find)
- brother-in-law’s moving day/two of our kiddos’ birthday dinner with Lance’s family: grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, grilled garden veggie packets, cheesy potatoes, deviled eggs, sliced cucumbers and dip, baked beans with a kick, watermelon, chocolate chip zucchini cake, fresh strawberry cupcakes, ice cream
- leftover fruit and veggies
Sunday
- fried eggs, cinnamon rolls (from the freezer), grapes
- my nephew’s baptism dinner: I took our favorite fruit salad, chocolate chip zucchini cupcakes, and fresh strawberry cupcakes
- snack lunch tray for the kids, big garden salads for us
Monday
- waffles with peach topping (made just like strawberry topping), scrambled eggs
- clean out the fridge (garden vegetable calzones, hamburgers, saucy summer squash skillet, cheesy potatoes, tuna melts, fresh fruit and veggies)
- zucchini frittata with strawberry/peach/banana smoothies
Tuesday
- french toast with peaches
- smoothies, fruit, veggies… whatever remotely perishable and healthy item I can stuff in my children, because they are headed to grandma’s house for three days!
- what’s cookin’, grandma?
Wednesday – Lance and I are hittin’ the road early. I’ll pack breakfast.
- bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches, fruit, chocolate zucchini muffins
- And then… I don’t have to cook for three days!
The Happy Housewife is hosting Menu Plan Monday this week. Go see what’s cookin’!

Any chance you’re coming my way?!
I love it when we get so well stocked that we can skip the shopping all together:-)
Great looking week Amy! I can’t wait until things cool off around here and we can start making cinnamon rolls again, they are a favorite around here!
Toni
sounds delicious I love the peach topping idea
Sounds yummy. Can’t wait to try the zucchini frittata. Thanks!
You’re menu looks great! The cinnamon rolls look scrumptious!!
You mentioned that the cinnamon rolls were from the freezer. Do you freeze them cooked and frosted?
@Wendy, Yes — I do freeze them cooked and frosted. Just like leftovers.
Really want to try freezing them before baking sometime, just to see what it would be like to pop a few at a time out of the freezer for fresh rolls. Haven’t attempted that yet.
When you freeze them after baking, be sure to eat them within a couple of weeks so they don’t dry out in the freezer.
@Amy @ Finer Things,
thnx for asking this wendy–so when you thaw them do you just thaw and eat at room temp or then reheat them??
@JessieGinAZ, I like to zap them in the microwave for about 15 seconds. You don’t even have to thaw them. They can go straight from the freezer to the microwave. Very handy!
Hope you have a great time!!
