What We're Eating

Here's our menu for the week:

Tues - Crockpot Tortellini Soup and Olive Garden breadsticks (I made these last night and Landon took one bite and said, "What makes these so yummy?!" He then proceeded to eat 3.  Definitely a winner recipe!)

Wed - Cajun Chicken Pasta, leftover breadsticks (unless Landon eats them all!), salad

Thurs - Grilled burgers, fries

Fri - Hamburger helper

Sat - Chicken Pizza Primavera

Mon - Fish Tacos, Brazilian lemonade

Dinner Menu

Dinners:

1. Chicken pad Thai with salad

2. Chicken enchiladas (double recipe for freezing) with chips and salsa

3. Hamburgers and fries

4. Easy Philly cheesesteaks with veggies and dip (I love these! more like a french dip than philly cheese stake but sooooo yummy)

5. Crockpot Corn chowder with rolls

Breakfast:

Mimi's Café copycat Honey Bran Muffins with whipped honey butter

So I obviously made those muffins this morning for breakfast, and yes the pictures are how mine actually turned out! They were so delicious! I was so excited because I haven't had one of these muffins in a long time and it totally satisfied my craving.  Even Mckay liked them and asked for "more cupcake" after he finished his haha. The only ingredient I didn't have was the wheat bran which proved to be inexpensive and not hard to find.  If by chance you ever decide to make these, just make sure to cook them less time than she says.  I cooked mine for 15 minutes and they were perfect!

Weekly Menu

So, I do not always plan out dinners for every day because sometimes Wes comes home late and just wants cereal or something, and a lot of times we just eat leftovers :). Therefore I have just been planning and shopping for 4 or 5 meals a week and making whatever the heck I feel like on whatever day :).

1- Tortellini with cream cheese tomato sauce, garlic bread
2- Wingers sticky fingers wraps
3- Marinated chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, grapes
4- BBQ chicken pizza, breadsticks
5- breakfast burritos
Sunday Breakfast- homemade bagels, honey cream cheese

I have been doing something special and awesome for breakfast every Sunday since we've been here and I love it. It is the only morning we get to spend together since Wes leaves for work at 630 every other day and its fun to try new things every week. Not to mention we have fruit juice for breakfast every other day. Have a fantastical breakfast ideas? :)

On the Menu

Erika & I used to share our weekly menus and it was great for getting new ideas.  I've been in a rut lately and haven't really cooked a whole lot (meaning we've had lots of cold cereal for dinner -- which my kids are sadly totally okay with!).  I'm not sure if anyone else menu plans much, but if you do, or if you try a new recipe you love, make sure you post it! :)

Monday - Spaghetti, green salad, garlic bread
Tuesday - Crockpot Chicken w/cream cheese & black beans, rice, melon
Wednesday - meatloaf, roasted potatoes, veggies of some kind
Thursday - baked potato bar
Friday - Alfredo veggie pizza
Saturday - Italian chicken skewers, rice
