My baby is six months old. I can’t believe six months have passed since Owen’s momentous arrival. It seems like just yesterday but also like another lifetime. I personally feel a million times better now than I did then…physically, mentally and emotionally. But I am still feeling every bit as grateful, grateful for this sometimes fragile yet always beautiful experience called life.
Now for a bit of the routine of life…
MONDAY:
- Pasta with Arugula and White Beans
TUESDAY:
- Penne with Broccoli & Chicken in Cream Sauce
WEDNESDAY:
- Vegetarian Chickpea Burgers
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
- Homemade pizza, flavors tbd
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Rachel sandwiches
Please share your lovely menus for the week! Remember…all menus welcome! We don’t care how fancy or un-fancy they are! And feel free to share any day during the week.
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
What a cutie! My youngest just turned 6 months on Friday. I can’t believe how fast the time goes! I’ve read your blog for a while, but this is my first time posting a menu. Here goes:
Monday – Cheesy Corn Chowder
Tuesday – Chicken Enchilladas
Wednesday – Beef & Broccoli (crockpot), brown rice & Trader Joe’s BBQ Buns
Thursday – leftovers
Friday – eat out
Saturday – “OMG” chicken (got off Pinterest), mac & cheese, greenbeans
Sunday – Caprese Grilled Cheese & salad
Whew! I did it and it wasn’t a bit painful.
Now on to cooking!
our babies are so close in age – fun! 6 months is such a fun time…love it. I can’t believe how fast the time goes.
so glad you posted a menu!
and what is this OMG chicken you speak of?
Mix 1/2 c. sour cream (I used Greek yogurt) with 1/4 c. parmesean cheese. Spread on top of four chicken breasts, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes. I made it for my family last night and they gobbled it up! So easy and so delicious! It really does live up to its name.
Here’s where the pin originated from: http://theenchantedcook.blogspot.com/2011/10/parmesan-crusted-chicken-hellmanns-mayo.html?m=1
Hope you’re feeling better!

What a great photo of your little cutie!
But my dad will be at our house all week working on all our renovations, particularly the kitchen ones (nice since we’ll all gone while the kitchen is a disaster. So I need to create a bunch of meals for him to just pull out of the freezer while we’re gone. I’m hoping some our leftovers will work nicely for that!
Easy this week because we leave for spring break at the end — Minneapolis! While the husband is working there, we’ll all be playing there! At least we’ll be together
Sunday: Paninis with grilled potatoes, green beans and cantaloupe.
Monday: Mushroom and spinach quiche with mixed green salads.
Tuesday: Southwest chili mac.
Wednesday: Leftovers or out.
Thursday: ?? Maybe pumpkin bacon pasta but it’s already a pasta-heavy week so I’m not sure.
Friday: Spaghetti and homemade turkey meatballs (just perfected a great recipe with panko), salads and garlic bread.
Saturday: Eating somewhere in Madison, Wis.
Thursday will either be bacon-wrapped fish or hoisin chicken lettuce wraps. Both sound great right now!
Yeah Minneapolis!
I wish we were having last weeks weather (80s in March in MN- crazy but nice) for you instead of the rain we’re supposed to have this week!Hopefully the sunshine will return in time for your visit.
Where’s your favorite place to eat in Minneapolis Jenny? Favorite thing to do? Thanks!
awww, thanks…I think it might be one of my fave photos of him. have fun on your trip!!

Monday: Out as it’s my birthday! And all I want is a really good burger…
Tuesday: BBQ Chicken Salad

Our precious, baby boy decided to make his (early) appearance last week! So, needless to say, we did not stick to the “menu” I had planned last week. We have been blessed with family here to make plenty of good food for us. So, we will have a ton of leftovers to re-purpose for this week. Yay!!!

Thursday- Business Travel

I made donuffins yesterday and they were a hit!…..will definitely make another batch. I started out making red velvet brownies as planned last Monday. I converted them into regular chocolate brownies after I couldn’t bring myself to use 2 containers of red dye in order to make them red. All that dye just didn’t seem necessary to put in our bodies (not to mention stain my wooden spoon!)
The regular, everyday brownies were wonderful
thanks, kim.
and that is funny about the brownies. I actually am trying to find a red velvet cake that doesn’t involve food dye.
I hit submit too soon!
so, anyway…I read the original red velvet had a red tint because of something happening with the cocoa…I’m on a quest to find such a recipe!
I didn’t realize you had a 6 month old! I have been behind on my blog reading because I can barely keep up as the mom of an almost 6 month old. Knowing how you have older kids, now I really don’t know how you make such elaborate weekly menus. I am lucky when I cook two big meals on the weekends to have leftovers and scrap together the rest of the week!
Actually – one question for you knowing that you have an infant. How do you handle eating out with your infant? Our baby does not do well in restaurants and I miss going out for dinner!
first off…I don’t ever plan anything too elaborate, and my menu is quite fluid!
but I do my best to stick to the plan each week.
and, so far, owen has been really good when we’ve gone to restaurants…so I don’t have any advice! there was a time when our girls were younger that it was SO annoying to go out with them…they eventually grew out of it, so honestly, I think it’s just about time…sad to say!
I am just me! So I cook three meals a week and live on leftovers the other days. But I also do my meal planning two weeks at a time and shop every other week. So my two week meal plan is as follows! (Also, just discovered this blog and it makes me so happy! I’ve been obsessed with meal planning for a while and never found others!)
1. BLT Lettuce Wraps & Baked Zucchini Fries w/ Sweet Onion Dip
2. Skinny Chicken & Broccoli Noodle Casserole
3. Fruit Salsa Topped Tilapia & Coconut Milk Wild Rice
4. Key West Grilled Chicken & Grilled Veggies
5. Leftover Key West Grilled Chicken Salad
6. Italian Sausage & Spinach Baked Ziti, Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks, Homemade Focaccia, Olive Garden Copy Cat Salad & Dressing, Tiramisu Trifle, & Fruit Pizza (for an Italian themed dinner party)
so glad you discovered the blog, hope to keep seeing your menus!
This week I’m hoping to make these four meals, plus I’m going to prep a couple of crock pot dinners to freeze for later use.
Mushroom risotto w/ roasted asparagus
Roasted shrimp & broccoli
Baked ziti w/ roasted zucchini
Chicken pot pie
Freezer: Sweet & Sour Chicken and Sausage & Peppers
The baby is adorable!

Would you like to share the recipe for Gyro Meatloaf?
Gyro Meatloaf:
Combine 1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 small onion finely chopped, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup grated romano cheese, 2 tsp. dried oregano, 1-1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 2 lbs. ground lamb or beef.
Mix all above ingredients together, shape into a loaf, and bake uncovered for 55-60 min @ 350 degrees.
Serve with tzatsiki sauce. I used leftovers for lunch today with a pita and lettuce and tomato.

I would like to get your recipe for Chinese Pork Stew if you’re willing to share.
Hi Lisa
Sorry to take so long to reply! Apologies also that my stew isn’t exactly authentic; it’s from a 1960s cookbook my grandma handed down. I think it qualified as Chinese back then because of the pineapple and soy sauce! I sometimes add a star anise for a bit more flavour. I generally cook the stew on the hob but it also works well in a slow cooker. I hope you like it if you try it!
Serves 4
700g (1.5lb) diced pork (in 2-3cm/1 inch dice)
1 large onion, halved and sliced
1 heaped tbsp flour
250ml (1 cup) chicken stock
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 green peppers, sliced
225g (8oz) can pineapple in juice
a handful of pimentos
Toss the pork in flour (seasoned with a little pepper) and brown in batches. Set aside.
Cook the onion until softened then add any remaining flour, the stock, vinegar, soy and juice from the pineapple. Put the pork back in the pot with any juices, bring to a simmer and cook gently for 1h30.
Add the peppers and pineapple and simmer for a further 30 minutes. Stir in the pimentos just before serving.

Congratulations! The first six months are definitely the hardest – after that it keeps getting easier (unless and until you have a 2nd and then you end up right back at really really hard again for a while, but that too gets easier as time goes by!).
Anyway, looking forward to trying your arugula and white bean dish – my boys (2 and 4.5) love beans – it sounds delish – and very similar to a white bean, kale and sausage dish I’m making this week that we all love.
