Menu Plan Monday March 2nd

MSS_MPM

Sid loves tacos.  I can’t believe how much he loves tacos.  Almost every night when I pick him up from the sitter he says we are having some kind of tacos.  Usually he asks for ‘bacon tacos’ something I have never made.  When pretending to cook, he is usually cooking tacos, recently it was chicken tacos, but he has also made waffle tacos.

So I figured he needed some tacos this week for dinner.  Tonight I am going to a book signing event so Dad has charge of dinner, and after him working all day I decided pizza was a great idea.  I admit right now that I am sure I will stick to making soup on Sunday, but I am gonna try!

Mon: Pizza

Tues: Tacos

Wed: Parmesan Chicken Bites with Cacio e Pepe

Menu Plan Monday Feb 16th

Happy Presidents Day!

I am so happy for this holiday right now.  I really need to finish up making Ian’s invitations.  Cause they need to get in the mail this week.  So I will be doing a lot of crafting today.

But that also means that I planned something for dinner that takes a little more effort, because I have the time.  I am always so rushed during the week that I like to make something a little more time-consuming on my days off.

I wanted to cook something different with ground beef, and boy was I having a hard time finding something new.  I am taking the recipe on Wed, and changing it to ground beef instead of chicken.  That recipe is also gluten-free and works for a Paleo diet, I however, will be altering it because my family is neither of those.

 

Menu Plan 2/16-2/22

Mon: Sweet & Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Sour Cream & Cheddar Baked Mashed Potatoes

Tues: Crock Pot Brown & Maple Sugar Pork Roast with One Pot Garlic Pasta

Wed: General Tso’s Meatballs over rice

Thr: One Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is closed

Sun: Heavenly Halibut with Parmesan Rice

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday Sept 29th

I feel like we had such a busy weekend, but nothing got done…

I did get my long run in with my cousin, but I had to take Sid with me.  After the run we enjoy some French pastries, because well, we’ve earned it.

I just love his face in this picture.  He kept doing his ‘happy food dance’ every time he took a bite of food.

 

 

Menu Plan 9/29-10/5

Mon: Crispy Chicken with Creamy Italian Pasta

Tues: Cheesy Meatloaf with Roasted Potatoes

Wed: Spaghetti or lasagna

Thr: Pizza

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Sun: 2AM Chili

 I have two things to say about the above chili recipe: 1) my husband said this chili was amazing! 2) that guy’s website/recipes are fantastic and if you haven’t been there go.  Now.  It’s ok, you’re done here.

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday Sept 22nd

I have a confession to make: I don’t use cream of anything soup.

Last week‘s menu plan included a recipe for Crock Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken, which calls for cream of chicken soup and sour cream.  I didn’t have any sour cream on hand, and didn’t want to go to the store just for that.  Since I was making my own cream of chicken soup, I figured I could just add the brick of cream cheese I had in the fridge.  While making the soup, I added the cream cheese and cooked until it melted and was incorporated (this is also where I mixed in the Ranch Dressing and stuff).  I threw it all in the crock pot with my frozen chicken and cooked on low all dayish.

It was delicious!  I am sure the sour cream version would still be wonderful, but everyone really enjoyed this alteration.

Maybe I’ll make it again and share the recipe, or maybe I’ll just make it again and eat it.
