Last week’s menu planning post was very well received so I will continue to share our weekly menu plans.
I created this week’s menu plan on Sunday afternoon while I watched The Avett Brothers perform at Bonnaroo on YouTube. It was an awesome show! I kind of felt like I was at Bonnaroo but with the perks of being clean at home in the air conditioning!
Here’s what we’re working with this week.
SUNDAY
MONDAY
- Lettuce wraps (carry over from last week’s menu – never ended up making these)
- Sushi rice
- Sautéed Asian green beans (I will sauté the green beans with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil)
TUESDAY
- Grilled pork tenderloin with tomato peach compote
- Collards
- Field peas
- Might have to whip up some cornbread with this Southern dinner! 🙂
WEDNESDAY
MY BIRTHDAY!!! Out???
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
- TBD – probably grill kebabs or hamburgers
Breakfasts: oatmeal, yogurt, overnight oats (for me), protein shakes (for Brandon)
Lunches: salads and veggies sandwiches (for me), homemade chicken salad and crackers (for Brandon), lots of fresh fruit

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
