I got off track with last week's menu plan. I completely forgot that I was picking up my Grandma Wednesday to spend a few hours with her before handing her over to some other family members for her visit in Oregon so I didn't have enough time to make Shepherd Pie so we had Trader Joe's Carne Asada tacos. Carbonara Pasta Thursday and Solomon said I shouldn't have to cook Friday so leftover Carbonara Pasta. Dan ask for Steaks for Valentine's Day which I served with green beans and sweet potato baked fries. So that pretty much brings us to this week:
Monday [Happy Presidents' Day!]: Roasted whole chicken, mashed potatoes, and steamed carrots with brown sugar topping. Making banana nut muffins for this week's breakfast.
Tuesday: Making a chicken and rice soup with the chicken carcass for lunches. Using the leftover mashed potatoes for the Shepherd Pie.
Wednesday: I will be driving down to Eugene to pick up Grandma- we'll have lunch down there. We'll pick up Dan from work and go out to dinner.
Thursday: Pork butt roast in Shredded Pork or Beef Taquitos but Thursday is interesting as we are dropping off Grandma at the airport by 4pm as her plane takes off around 5:40pm so I don't know how well this plan will work. Frozen pizza is the backup plan.
Friday: Taquitos or leftover Taquitos with rice and beans. Hopefully we close on our house on Friday...
Saturday: Hopefully is a moving day and therefore the popular moving choice of Pizza will work.
Sunday: Whole Roasted Chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, and salad.

You say pork butt and I giggle inside, but something I learned from a cooking video online the other day is that the term pork butt or maybe it's just "Boston butt" refers to a pork shoulder cut. This cut, because it took longer to cook until tender, would be stored in a wooden cask in Boston known as a butt, (perhaps like a gun butt?), so the cut became known as a Boston Butt. Funny, huh?
