What’s For Dinner?
My mom, who prides herself on always finding the perfect useful but exciting birthday presents, bought me a FANCY Crock Pot for my birthday. It was indeed exciting AND useful and since I am the type of person who has to physically restrain herself from wearing new shoes out the door of the store where they are purchased, my menu this week will definitely make use of my new toy.
Monday
Lunch: Shredded Southwestern Beef Salads — I think this recipe rivals the Barbacoa at Chipotle. I’m cooking this in my Crock Pot BECAUSE I CAN!
Dinner: French Onion Soup Burgers + Stove Top Brussels Sprouts + Salad
Tuesday
*I start my 5am CrossFit class today. Pretty sure I’ll be ready for lunch around 9am. 🙂
Lunch: Garrett and I both have the day off so we’re hitting up the new restaurant some of our fellow CrossFitters just opened. Locals, check out Skip’s Kitchen. (I’ve got my eye on The Heap.)
Dinner: I’m going to eat here with some lady friends, Garrett is fending for himself.
Wednesday
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Thighs and Roasted Broccoli
Dinner: Crock Pot Beef Stew with Bacon, Onion + Sweet Potatoes
