I’m still not 100% compliant with my menu plan, but I’m getting there. Last week, I made bacon wrapped chicken with a side of vegetables and mushrooms. They were pretty good, but the meal that really stole the show were the tacos.
Initially, I planned on making taco seasoning from scratch, but the prepared stuff was just too tempting. After browning the ground beef in a pan, I drained it and placed it in the slow cooker. Then, I mixed the taco seasoning mix in a bowl. Before pouring the mixture over the ground beef, I tasted it. That stuff is never salty or spicy enough for me.
So, I kicked things up a bit with about a 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
After 6 hours on low in the slow cooker, the beef was absolutely divine. My first time making tacos was a total success. I can’t wait to try shredded beef, chicken, and fish tacos.
Monday: Whatever I have leftover from Sunday
Tuesday: Garlic baked chicken wings, collard greens, and yellow rice
Wednesday: Baked catfish combined with leftovers vegetables and rice from Tuesday
Thursday/Friday: Fried pork chops with a side of broccoli, onions, peppers, and mushrooms
Saturday/Sunday: I’ll probably be in New York, so let me not lie to you or myself about what I plan on cooking.

Yummy! You're making me feel hungry already…Enjoy… Thanks for sharing!
Great looking menu especially the garlic baked chicken wings! YUM!
Garlic baked chicken wings was what caught my eye, too … I bought a big bag of frozen chicken from CostCo, but haven't been able to eat most of it because the chicken I bake is so incredibly boring!
It's great to see that you can bake chicken (healthy!) while still making it tasty ….
This week I'm trying pan-seared chicken with onions and peppers and spices — e.g. fajitas!
@Sherry and Afford-Anything – Garlic baked chicken wings are one of my faves. I use seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper for seasoning. I then sear/brown/whatever the outside in a pan with olive oil or bacon grease (yes, I am ashamed) before baking in the oven. They are soooo delicious!
