Menu Plan Monday Feb 17

I will admit it.  I am sick.

I have been able to avoid all colds and sickness this winter. Until now.  Due to babysitting issues & the weekend, I had to have the past four days off.  Which means I had the last four days with my kids home with me.

And I got a cold.  A miserable, my head is gonna exploded, I can’t breather, kill me now, kinda cold.  Do you think those boys would let me rest and get better?

Nope.

So it was really hard for me to think about food for this upcoming week.  But I must remember that I will get better and I will need to feed the family.

So here is the plan, but don’t hold it against me if we end up with take out once or twice this week.

 

Menu Plan 2/17-2/23

Mon: Cream Cheese Pesto Chicken with rice

Tue: Beef Stew in the crock pot

Wed: Sweet & Spicy Bacon Chicken with Pepperjack Bacon Mac n’ Cheese

Thr:  One Pot Baked Ziti

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: Early Dinner at my Aunts

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday Feb 10 (On a Wed?)

Here is the great thing about Meal Planning.  When you plan all your meals and go to the store to get all your food for the week, you don’t have to worry about what will happen if you get snowed in.

We were stuck in the house from Thursday to Sunday and it was ok.  We had enough food, we didn’t need to fight the ice and snow to get milk or chicken or anything.  I knew what I would make for dinner and I had everything necessary to make it.  It was a nice feeling

On Monday I made Tomato Parmesan Basil Tortellini soup and Baby Sid thought it was the most wonderful thing.

Menu Plan 2/10-2/16

Mon: Basil Parmesan Tomato Tortellini Soup (the recipe doesn’t call for Parmesan cheese, but really, why would you not.  I also didn’t use condensed soup so now need for milk/cream)

Tue: Pepper & Garlic Chicken in the Crock Pot with rice

Wed: Wine Glazed Steak and baked potatoes

Thr:  Creamy Grilled Chicken Piccata 

Fri: Garlic Lemon Pork with Lemon Risotto

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: Roast Time (or maybe fish…depends on how the weekend goes)

Menu Plan Monday Feb 3

I had some epic crock pot failures last week.  OK, so maybe they weren’t epic, but I did have to make a whole new dinner one night.

This week I will not use my crock pot.  I am tempted….

I think Baby Sid is going through a growth spurt.  He is eating nonstop!

After eating, continuously munching, at my sisters all day on Sunday he came home and ate a huge dinner.  More than his brother.

Also on Thursday night last week, I had to help my mom pick up her new floors.  It took too long and my sister got my boys from the sitter and made them dinner.  Baby Sid came home and ate dinner again.

Menu Plan 2/03-2/09

Mon: Meatloaf and potatoes

Tue: One Pot Chicken Alfredo with garlic bread

Wed: Lowcountry Smothered Pork Chops with Roasted Red Potatoes 

Thr:  Make-Ahead Unstuffed Shells 

Fri: Left Overs

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: Roast Time

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday Jan 6

It has been a busy weekend!

We spent the weekend out-of-town visiting some friends.  When we were leaving Ian told me he was angry because he didn’t want to go home yet.

Our friend made Ian a fire in the fire pit so Ian could roast his hot dog Saturday night.  It was a toasty 27° out.

Sunday was spend unpacking and recuperating so I needed to make this post quickly!  I did go to my Pinterest page to try to find some new things to cook.

I will leave you with a picture of Sid and the reason I usually feed him yogurt instead of letting him do it himself.

 

 

Menu Plan 1/6-1/12

Mon: General Tso’s Chicken

Tue: Wine Glazed Steak with Potatoes

Wed: Garlic Parmasan Chicken with pasta and Roasted Garlic Green Beans

Thr: Enchilada Pasta Casserole

Fri: Left Overs

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: crock pot roast with vegetables

Happy Cooking
