We had an unexpected quieter week as Nate was (and still us) recovering from oral surgery that had a harder recovery than we anticipated.
And it is May. How is that possible???
Friday - a birthday dinner at my moms 😊
Saturday- I’m going scrapbooking all day 😊
Sunday - Darryl’s taking me out for a birthday lunch 😊
Monday - sloppy joes and chips
Tuesday - shredded chicken tacos
Wednesday - it’s youth group night
Thursday - spaghetti and garlic bread
Last week was one of those weeks where menu planning didn't go as planned. We ate a lot of left overs from Chili and Pulled Pork but otherwise I didn't actually cook a lot. It was a week with lots of running between Choir and music lessons so we ate in shifts. With that in mind I have a few carry overs to this week which helps when it comes to grocery shopping!
Friday - Sliced Ham, Mac and Cheese, and a salad. (I love buying sliced, pre-cook ham steaks to make an easy Friday night dinner. Ham goes so well with homemade mac and cheese!)
Saturday - Dinner with my mom :-) It's been a few weeks since we've had a normal Saturday night dinner at house between Easter and other activities.
Sunday - Slow Cooker Zuppa Tuscana and French Bread Rolls. My slow cooker is my favorite on Sundays. It allows us to eat as soon as we get home without much prep left to do.
Monday - Beef with Snow Peas and Fried Rice. This is a carry over from last week. Nate has oral surgery today so we are actually all home on a Monday evening (No TKD or Choir).
Tuesday - Taco Shells and Cheese and a Salad. I've decided to once again try to cook through some cook books. This recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman Super Easy Cookbook.
Wednesday - Buttermilk oven fried chicken, seasoned sweet potato wedges, and confetti slaw (These recipes all come from The Skinnytaste Cookbook - Light on Calories, big on Flavor)
Thursday - Tonight is the community dinner that my guys help at with our church so I usually eat there before it's time for them to leave.
Spring has sprung around here! At least for this week :-) It is April though so we could get snow before the month ends! Here's our plan for the coming week.
Friday - Pulled Pork Tacos with cole slaw and chili cheese dip
Saturday - We are heading to a Matthew West concert so we will eat dinner on the way
Sunday - Chili and Fritos.
Monday - Between Choir and Tae Kwon Do Monday nights are a little tight for dinner! The plan is leftovers. There will be both pulled pork and Chili left so everyone can pick what they would like for dinner.
Tuesday - With music lessons back to back on Tuesdays - I'm running so it's a little rushed for dinner but we try to squeeze it in - or at least have something everyone can grab on their own. I plan to have stuff for wraps/tacos.
Wednesday - Beef and Snow Pea Stir Fry with Fried Rice
Thursday - Baked Teriyaki Chicken legs, Homemade Mac and Cheese, and Spinach Salad with apples, feta and bacon.
It’s Easter! This year is just flying by; I’d like to slow down time just a little but, since I can’t I’m just trying to enjoy the moments I’m given.
Friday — sloppy joes and fries
Saturday - Easter “brunch” at our house with my mom. Crescent egg and sausage wreath, cheesy potatoes, banana bread, and fruit and dip
Sunday - Easter dinner at my moms house.
