Meal Plan

So there was no plan last week due to me being sick.   But we made it through the week.  It wasn't as smooth but we survived.  What I've learned is that I really only have to cook on Monday and Tuesday if I don't get stuff done on Sunday and then we can survive off of leftovers for the rest of the week.

However, my goal is to be back on track this week so here's the plan

Making this for my lunches this week...
An Ideal Lunch Salad
Also, have lots of eggs due to parentals going to PS and leaving me stuff from their fridge so I might also have this later in the week
Greek Yogurt Egg Salad Sandwich

For dinners this is what I'm thinking.....
Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce with Egg Noodles and Salad
White Chicken Chili or this White Chicken Chili or probably a combo of both
Taco's one night - haven't had just plain taco's in a while

That should do it for the week.....

What's for dinner

I go back to work on Monday- bleh.   Big fat hairy bleh.   So this week needs to be easy and borden line comfort.   Not sure how much time I will have in the evenings to cook.  And I want to watch the big game tomorrow so won't have as much prep time as I normally would.

Sunday
Super Bowl!   Not sure what we are having here.  Probably some form of football inspired food.  Hotdogs come to mind....

Monday
Lasagna Soup & Salad
Paula Deen's son Bobby recipe found here

Tuesday
Sesame Noodle with Chicken
Recipe found here

Wednesday
Lasagna Soup leftovers

Thursday
Taco Thursday :)

Friday
Take out or go out and celebrate making it through the first week!

And the Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic....that was by far the most excellent meal I've made in a while but more on that another time.....

Bon Appétit!

What's for dinner

So just one week left at home with my pickle.  It seems like yesterday we brought him home.  I am very grateful that I was able to have the time I did I know that a lot of people do not have that privilege.  We had a last minute "issue" with our daycare so we did a quick scramble and were able to find something else.   So this week will be all about getting ready and prepped to return to the real world.   I hope to get some things in the freezer this week but we will see.  Needless to say Sunday prep is more important than ever.   Here is what I'm thinking for this week....

Sunday
Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup, salad, bread

Monday
Salisbury Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes

Tuesday
Leftover soup, salad bread

Wednesday
Leftover Salisbury Steak

Thursday

I never made this last week so lets try again this week
Chicken w/ 40 cloves of garlic, veggie, rice


Friday
Take out or go out

Saturday
Left over chicken, veggie, rice

Bon Appétit 

What's for dinner

Ok so here's what for dinner this week......still owe you updates from last week I haven't forgotten

Saturday
Cheeseburger Soup, Salad
I thought this sounded fun and would be fun to try

Sunday
Always wanted to make this....
Chicken w/ 40 cloves of garlic


Monday
Left over  Cheeseburger Soup

Tuesday
Left over Chicken, veggie


Wednesday
Mexican night and I found a new recipe so it will have a twist
Oven Taco - will be sure to have plenty of tomatoes, lettuce and avocado's to put on top!


Thursday
Baked Chicken breast, roasted veggie, brown rice/quinoa
I love to cook bone in chicken breast with just some olive oil and S&P drizzled on it.  And hopefully there is some leftover chicken for a chicken salad sandwich for lunch later this week



Friday
Go out or take out....its a Friday thing for us


And now I'm off to make my list for the store!

Bon Appetit

What's for dinner

Friday I had to work (I'm still basically on leave but I have a small project I'm working on that thankfully will be done by Tuesday) so I couldn't plan that day.  And yesterday just got away from me. To be honest I've been tweeking and retweeking this for a while but I'm going to the store after the Seahawks beat the Falcons (well that's the hope at least) and so I have to get serious about things.  So here goes......

Friday - dinner out!  Went for Mexican down the street

Saturday- Tater Tot casserole and Salad
Don't judge I'd had a hard day and hadn't made it to the store and well I could give a lot of excuses but bottom line is it was good and exactly what I needed.   Bonus - there are leftovers.  And honestly it was this or fast food take out and I somehow think this was a little bit better.
Recipe here

Sunday - Homemade Spaghetti, Salad, Bread
Will be sure to share my recipe later

Monday - Leftover Tater Tot repeat

Tuesday - Leftover Spaghetti repeat

Wednesday - Chicken wings, roasted veggies

Thursday - Taco's

Tuesday - Leftover Taco Casserole

G just made a comment about me being organized again on dinners.  I basically sit on the couch (tonight we are watching the Fiesta Bowl - go Wildcats) and show him recipes that I've collected on Pinterest.  I don't get his approval on everything but on most.   My love affair with Pinterest only gets stronger.   Its a perfect place to just file things away for a later time.  Having a plan for the week just makes life so much easier.   G is going back to work next week so dinner prep will need to be more simplified as I never know how much time I will actually have.

In other news......I went to the library today.   Can't remember the last time I stepped into one......
More on that later......

Bon Appétit!
