Category: Weekly Meal Plans

It has been a long time since I have done a post on my meal planning. August 10th to be exact. Starting 2015 off right by going back to planning my weekly dinners. Here is the fist one. Here is hoping that it will inspire you to do the same thing.

Sat- Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches- recipe to come…

Sun- Some sort of shrimp pasta… something like this https://funfoodiefamily.com/2014/10/26/shrimp-fettuccine-sorrentini/ or maybe https://funfoodiefamily.com/2013/09/02/shrimp-and-broccoli-angel-hair-alfredo/

Mon- Crock Pot Beef Stoganoff https://funfoodiefamily.com/2014/03/24/easy-crockpot-beef-stoganoff/

Tuesday- Grandparents take the girls to dinner while I go to yoga and hubby has hockey… and we will probably eat leftovers…

Wed- Chinese Night- My friend from college comes over once or twice a month. We rotate between me cooking and ordering Chinese. There is always wine. We get to catch up and the girls love her!

Th- Burger Tacos- new recipe…

Friday- Date Night Sushi- It has been awhile.

Anything new you are trying or maybe want to see on the blog in the New Year????

Here is what I am planning to make for my family this week. What is on your menu?

Sat- Last night we were all tired from working in the yard. I did not want to cook and everyone just wanted to stay home and relax at the pool. So we all scrounged around to find ourselves a quick meal. Frozen pizza (husband), spaghettios (Becca), veggie corn dogs (Lizzie and Katie), and a veggie burger (me). We got in a good swim before the clouds and storms started rolling in.

Sunday- Sloppy Joes- something kind of creative like this…maybe something else equally creative. I will let you know what I come up with.

Friday Night- Clean out the Fridge Night

Hey all! The new school year is almost upon us. Back to those busy nights filled with homework and after school activities. Back to those nights where we all get home and everyone wants to know that dreaded question, “What’s for dinner?” Well, look no further. I have got you covered.

I am back to work…school for me starts tomorrow. Teacher pre-planning; the bane of my existence. Becca has nightly cheer camp this week; Katie has gymnastics; Lizzie is in the midst of her treatments soon…we have a lot going on here. We all still have to eat though, and our health and wallets cannot afford to go out too much, so home cooked meals are necessary. So what is a busy and slightly frantic mom to do? Start back my weekly meal planning and pull out my crock pot and freezer meal ideas…

Here is what I plan to do for this CRAZY week.

Sun- I realize that this is Monday, but what I made last night is another meal for this week. In case you missed it yesterday, here is what we had…

Monday- Easy Crockpot Pork- I took a boneless pork butt seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, fennel seeds, and dried Italian seasoning. I added rough chopped onion, 2 cloves smashed and chopped garlic, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire, and 1 container of beef broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The pork turned out moist and full of flavor. You could drain the juices, but I would keep them. This oniony meaty broth would be a great base for a soup. Heck, you could even add some of this pork to it in a bowl and voila, pork soup!

I had this pork and a side of the onions with a side of BBQ sauce.

Tuesday- Leftover pasta

Wednesday- Leftover pork

Thursday- Homemade Sub sandwiches at the pool

Friday- Pizza delivered to the pool

Well, those last 2 days are my plan anyway. It is still only August, so there are lots of hot pool night ahead, right?
