Menu Plan Monday #6

Laura at Org Junkie runs Menu Plan Monday each week. 2 weeks in a row...yay!  First a recap of last week, then this week's plan.

Last week

Monday - Leftover Tilapia with mashed potatoes and corn.  Yum!
Tuesday - Turkey Burgers with sweet potato fries and broccoli.  We had no buns and had to eat on bagel thins LOL
Wednesday - Pizza night at work.  I actually skipped the pizza (I had a slice for a snack there) and forgot to eat dinner until I came home LOL
Thursday - Ground Turkey Tacos.  Delicious!  I used my rice cheese (good for lactose intolerant people and contains no soy).  We had Mexican Rice as a side dish.
Friday - Oven baked fried chicken.  This didn't happen so it is being moved to Monday of next week.
Saturday - Greek takeout at Grandparents' house.  Switched to Chinese due to a huge traffic issue.  Our food was so delicious though!  My main dishes that I ate were chicken with broccoli and lemon chicken and they were both out of this world.  The rest of the family also ate chicken chow mein, shrimp with pecans and shrimp egg foo young.  I highly recommend Fu Yuan Low in Palos Verdes (technically Rolling Hills Estates) if anyone is looking for amazing Chinese food.
Sunday - Chinese takeout at Grandparents' house turned into Mexican food from Red Onion.  I didn't love it.  I ordered halibut and it was baked...absolutely not special.  The rice tasted funny.  And I ordered my salad with lettuce only but it came with an array of colorful vegetables.  I hadn't eaten at Red Onion in 15-20 years and if I go another 15 or 20 years it will be fine!

Camera Critters #4

Week Four of this awesome meme!  This one asks a question...and also lets us share our animals!  The question this week is "What's Your Favorite Hobby?"  I love reading books!  I own more than I could ever get through!

I walked around my neighborhood this week taking pictures of random animals.

Some ducks in the gutter / creek near my house

Horses on the route that I walk my dog

I think that's a different horse LOL

That's definitely a different horse.  There are horses that aren't white but their owners were around.

This is the weird bug that my sister found under her bed and picked up with her lint remover.  It looks like a cricket in this picture but it didn't look like a cricket up close.

Six Word Saturday - #22

Show my Face blog hosts Six Word Saturday each week. I love this meme, because it is so simple yet can tell so much.  I'm glad I've gotten back into participating.

Here's what you do: Describe your life (or something) in just six words.

Three Day Weekend...Time to Relax.

It's Memorial Day weekend here in the United States.  The time when everyone gets on the freeway at once and it takes forever to get where you're going LOL.  We are going to visit my grandparents, and my grandma already has a huge list of things for me to do.  But since she paid the down payment on my Invisalign treatment, it's the least I can do!  What are your plans this weekend???

Aloha Friday #34 - Amazon

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog . Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the Mr. Linky there if you are participating.

This week's question is purely selfish.  Do you use Amazon?  If so, what would you suggest I buy there with a gift certificate I received? Any specific product you highly recommend?

I received an end of the year thank you gift at the school I work for and have no idea what to get!
