Menu Plan Monday July 21st

Do you ever feel you need a vacation after  your vacation?

I do. Especially now that I am vacationing with a two-year-old (well almost 2) and a four-year-old.

This little man is the main source of my exhaustion. But at least he likes to eat, even when out-of-town.

Mon: Cheesy Ranch Chicken Pasta

Tue: Italian Pot Roast & Parmesan Risotto

Wed: Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Thr: Bacon Burgers with Bacon Onion Balsamic Jam

Menu Plan Monday July 14th

We’ve been spending a lot of time at my mom’s pool this week.

Which also means we have been doing a lot of BBQ’ing.  Well mostly my sister has, and we’ve just been eating it.  A few of my plans last week never got made.  Such is the risk of meal planning in the summer.

 

Menu Plan 7/14-7/20

Mon: Loaded Chicken Alfredo Gnocchi Bake

Tue: BBQ at my mom’s (100 temp means pool side at my mom’s for the kids) 

Wed: Spending the day at the lake 

Thr: Cheesy Grilled Pizza Sandwiches 

Fri: Leftovers 

Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Sun: Take-out

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday July 7th

I hope this Monday is preceded by a wonderful holiday weekend for everyone.

I know we had a fun exhausting weekend.  It was full of fun, friends, water and sunshine!

We spent our 4th at a friend’s house.  He lives in one of those neighborhoods where the whole block gets together to BBQ and the kids run up and down the street and in and out of everyone’s house.

My kids loved it.

 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

 

Our little Historic Downtown opened a new splash pad and I took the boys to try it out on Saturday.

Water. Water everywhere!

Sunday we spent the day at my mom’s house by the pool, which meant we BBQ’d instead of whatever I had planned.

 

Menu Plan 7/7-7/13

Mon: Bacon Cheese Burger Sliders 

Tue: Lemon Chicken Fettuccine 

Wed: Bowtie Skillet Lasagna 

Thr: Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken (last week carry-over)

Fri: Leftovers 

Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Sun: Loaded Chicken Alfredo Gnocchi Bake

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday June 30th

Who knew one night of camping could produce so much dirt…

Since I spent Sunday resting after our little camping trip, I didn’t make it to the grocery store.  So tonight’s dinner will be nutritionally lacking, but the boys will be happy.

We camped with a bunch of friends and a camp ground really close to home.  Some of them went up Friday night, but we decided to just go up Sat morning.

The boys had so much fun.  I couldn’t keep shoes on Sid.  They got a real good soaking when we got home.  And they ate so much junk food this weekend.  ahh…good times.

Menu Plan 6/30-7/6

Mon: Mac & Cheese

Tue: Porcupines in a Skillet

Wed: Creamy Spinach Tortellini

Thr: Crock Pot French Dip

Fri: July 4th

Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Sun: Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken with rice

 

Happy Cooking
