We've been busy. That's all. With the holiday, Christmas things kicking into gear and planning for the holidays, I've been hoppin'! Plus we've been pushing hard with school to finish a little earlier than planned for Christmas break meaning I have less time to get stuff done during the day since I'm spending more time on school. I finally took time today, Friday, to plan out our menu from now until we leave for Christmas so I thought I'd share it.
Friday (Today) - Chicken and Dumplings. My kids are not fans of Chicken and Dumplings (the tradgedy!) so the kids get Chicken Nuggets and Fries.
Saturday: We are going to finish up all Christmas shopping Saturday afternoon with the boys and then grab something to eat in town.
Sunday: After church will be a quick meal of Chicken Noodle Soup (I always use the leftovers from Chicken and Dumplings to make my Chicken Noodle Soup!) and French Bread. Later in the evening, everyone can choose from the fridge/freezer for dinner.
Monday: I'm going to try a new recipe - One Pan Balsamic Chicken and Veggies. I'll serve it over some pasta with garlic bread.
Tuesday: Creamy Chicken Burritos, Rice, Beans, and Chips and Cheese
Wednesday: Darryl has practice and, quite honestly, I don't like cooking when he isn't here HA! The boys and I have been grabbing a pizza from Little Ceasers the past few Wednesdays. It's cheap and we all like it!
Thursday: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Corn and Biscuits
Friday: Tonight we are meeting my mom to celebrate Nate's birthday with her.
Saturday: And today we get to eat out at Nate's choice of resturant to celebrate his birthday!
Sunday: I have a concert and Darryl is working - the boys are going to my Mother-In-Laws after church and will eat lunch with her; I'll grab lunch on the go. A busy day!
Monday: - It's time for vacation :-) Yeah! No cooking for me for over a week!
