Happy Meal Plan Monday!

The sun is shining here in my part of the world.  It was a beautiful weekend and I am making huge progress on the decorations for Ian’s party.

His party is this coming Saturday, I can’t believe I have a four year-old!  I still have lots and lots to do before then, so I am hoping to make some easy, simple dinners this week.

We make Birthday Cake Pancakes for the kids on their birthday.  Because…welllll…it’s their birthday.  And if you have tried them you would understand.

Mon: Lasagna 

Tue: Meatloaf with red potatoes

Wed: Slow Cooker Zesty Italian Chicken

Thr: Tacos with Spanish rice

Fri: Party Prep

Sat: Party Day!

Sun: Something in the crock pot, need to unwind after Party Day 🙂

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday March 3rd

 

Baby Sid has decided he doesn’t want to eat in his high chair any more.

I have taken the tray off and I can sometimes get him to sit in it at the table.  But then he tries to climb out, not very safe… Sitting is not his strong suit.

I don’t think I am I know I am not ready for him to be out of a high chair.

Mon: Chicken Seafood Pasta (this recipe link is for seafood, but I make it with chicken instead)

Tue: Crock pot Ranch Pork Chops with potatoes

Wed: Spaghetti 

Thr:  Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Noodles

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: Sunday night roast

Menu Plan Monday Feb 24

Remember last week when I said I was sick?

Well now everyone is sick.  I am better, but not entirely back to normal.

The hubster has had a fever since last Friday and I finally convinced him to go to the doctor.  Tonight.  On Monday.

Guess what? He has pneumonia.  He walked in and said “yeah, yeah. you were right.”

I wasn’t even gonna play the I-told-you-so-card.  But you know, I was right.

Ian is also sick, but he just has a virus.  But it has been hard on him the last couple days.  And tonight it seems like Baby Sid is coming down with it.

I find it very difficult to think about meal planning when nobody is eating.

So if I do cook this week, this is what I might be making.

 

Menu Plan 2/24-3/2

Mon: no plan.

Tue: Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup with Tortellini

Wed: Sloppy Joe’s with taters 

Thr:  Slow Cooker Zesty Italian Chicken

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: Sunday night roast ~ probably pork
