Weekend Wrap Up and Meal Plan 9/18/16

Long time since I have  blogged last. It has really been a big adjustment this year. Lots of cheer practices, games, work, and busy family stuff going on here. We actually have been eating, but just nothing really new or blog worthy. I am really missing being creative in the kitchen, so I am hoping that I can shake off all the craziness,  get back in the kitchen to relax, and create some fun new dishes!

This weekend the hubby and I went to what we call a Family Dinner with our best friends. It was my girl Jess’ birthday, so we did a lot of fun  “adulting” things 😉 That is all I am going to say about that! The girls had fun at their grandparents house, and Brutus got some doggie play and spa time at Camp Bow Wow. A  fun time was had by all. Today we all chilled, mommy took a much needed nap, and then we shopped for dinners this week.

Here is what is on the game plan…

Tonight- Roasted Chicken Plain and Simple- salt, pepper, olive oil

Monday- Crock Pot BBQ Pork Ribs

Tuesday- Mushroom Risotto

Wednesday- Chicken Pesto Pasta

Thursday- Breakfast for dinner! Maybe french toast or pancakes with eggs?

Friday- Family Night Out- Probably Mexican or Sushi

Enjoy the rest of your night!

Weekly Meal Plan 8/20/16

Hey guys! Hope your weekend is going well! Last night we all decided to go to Mexican for dinner. I got a steak quesadilla and a cheese stuffed poblano. Of course there was chips, queso,  and margaritas involved!img_4783

Today has been pretty great! We had to wake up early and take Rebecca to her first game. It was long and hot and we lost in the end, but all the boys played well and the girls stuck with it and cheered with all their heart!040043041

We all came home sweaty and tired. The hubby went and got the two of us some Chinese take-out. The girls wanted Spaghettio’s and grilled cheese, so I made that for them.

The rest of the day has been pretty lazy; naps, lounging around reading and watching TV. Now I am doing some meal planning for the week. This week is going to be crazy! Cheer practice 3 nights as well as Curriculum night for the girls school as well as mine. We will make it through! Here is what is on the menu…

Sat- Chicken & Cherry Tomato Bolognese (Blue Apron Meal)…Super yummy!

Sunday- Leftover Chinese (Shrimp Hibachi)

Monday- Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Brown Rice

Tuesday- Mini Hamburger Sliders, Fries, and a Veggie

Wednesday- Last week I was going to do Indian, but the girls wanted Pizza and wings, so we did that instead. This week I am getting my Indian (hopefully)!

Thursday-Clean out the fridge night/Pantry Raid

Friday- Family Night Out…this week it was Mexican, so I am thinking we may go to Greek. 

Weekly Meal Plan 8/14/16

Hey friends! Back from the cabin and back to reality! Went to lunch at Mcalister’s Deli with the family then on to Publix for a massive grocery trip. Here is the plan for the week…

Sunday- Tacos

Monday- Chicken Carbonara- made it a few ways before, but I am going to test out a new recipe

Tuesday- Beef Stroganoff 

Wednesday- I have been craving Paneer Tikka Masala and Daal, so I think I will get some Indian takeout and see what spurge the girls want. I am guessing I can tempt them with some Spaghetti O’s and Grilled Cheese. They are pretty easy to please.

Thursday- Pantry Raid! I have some frozen chicken and will have some leftovers and veggies that I will need to use up.

Friday- Family Night Out- – – Maybe a local pizza joint or our favorite Mediterranean place? Only time will tell!

Check out these pretty flowers my parents picked out for Lizzie. I know she loves them!

Meal Plan 7/6/16

The summers are pretty laid-back here. There’s really no plan for the day. We wake up late, eat some cereal, go to the pool, eat sandwiches, and then I try to find something around the house that I can throw together for dinner.

That’s how we like it.

BUT the last couple of weeks we have been in vacation mode, and our fridge and pantry were looking pretty bare. I decided to put together a meal plan and head to the store to slowly get our supply back up. Here is what we are planning to eat…

Tuesday-  Beer Battered Cod

Wednesday-Roast Chicken of sort sort….maybe  this recipe?

Thursday- Pork Chops…maybe these?

Friday- Steak Fajitas

I’ll let you know if I change these recipes. I love a good change up!

 

 

The Last Weekly Meal Plan…

until fall! Summer is a week away for us here! So excited to not be at school for a couple of months. I don’t really do much meal planning in the summer, so this will be my last one until all the craziness of school, homework, cheer practice, etc. all start back again. Nothing new or inventive this week. It will be a killer, so I am sticking with popular and easy recipes.

Sunday- Steak, potatoes, and veggies

Monday- Blue Apron Meal

Tuesday- Stuffed Shells

Wednesday- Baked Tacos
