Here are the salad recipe links, and I’ll let you know how they turn out!
1) Dill Pickle Pasta Salad (Spend With Pennies blog)
- Most people tried this salad, including me. However, from what I saw, nobody went back for seconds, including me! I won’t make this salad again.
2) Creamy Bacon and Avocado Corn Salad (Noshtastic blog)
- I didn’t make this salad for the birthday party, because we already had enough food! Maybe I’ll try it for a future supper, or family gathering.

How It Actually Went
Here’s what we actually had this week. The only change was on Sunday – we stuck to the plan for the rest of the week.
Sunday — Meatballs With Tomato Basil Sauce
- Instead of cooking pork tenderloin, we had leftover meatballs, from Dad’s birthday party on Saturday. They were delicious, and much easier than cooking something from scratch!
Monday — Carrot Apple Ginger Soup
- We both like this soup, and it’s easy to make. The only hard part is making sure to catch all the carrots, with the immersion blender. I enjoyed the leftovers for lunch on Tuesday.
Tuesday — Sheet Pan Lamb Meatballs
Wednesday — Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Salmon
Thursday — Avgolemono Greek Lemon Soup
Friday — Sheet Pan Pork Chops & Brussels Sprouts
Saturday – Burgers
- It’s a long weekend, so burgers are a legal requirement, I’m pretty sure!
