MONDAY:
– Butternut squash soup
– Grilled cheese sandwiches
TUESDAY:

– Garlic bread
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers

Alrighty, your turn! Please share your menu for the week. As always, reading through your menus from last week was such a great help as I sat down this morning to plan, so, thank you!
Monday- chicken and dumplings (it’s so rainy here so this will be a perfect comfort food for us)
Tuesday- lasagna with broccoli and Caesar salad
Wednesday- BBQ @ a friends house (hopefully the weather lets up a bit)
Thursday- date night for Valentine’s day!
Friday- Vavo over for dinner (eat out most likely)
Saturday- leftovers
Sunday- homemade fried rice and potstickers.
I have finally gotten back into meal planning after having our baby girl in August. Now when I plan meals I try to include foods that baby girl can eat too. We are trying out baby led weaning. Wish us luck. Thank you again for your inspiration!
that first year with baby is a doozie! 😉 welcome back to meal planning – and that’s exciting she’s starting to eat with you (although, honestly, that’s my least favorite part of parenting – feeding kids!) anyway, GOOD LUCK! 😉
I’m in the midst of making my menu right now…I think I’ve got it. Junior has a bunch of appts this week (as usual) and Stinker has started t-ball, so we have practice one evening a week. Add homeschooling to the mix, and I have roughly 17 minutes to prepare dinner on any given night. Here’s the easy peasy menu:
Sunday-Mexican Lasagna, Spanish Rice
Monday-Beef Stroganoff
Tuesday-Pasta w Pesto Cream Sauce, Broccoli, Bread
Wednesday-Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese
Thursday-BLTs with Avocado, Baked Fries, Fruit Salad
Friday-Heart Shaped Homemade Pizzas, Breadsticks, Salad
Saturday-Leftovers
I don’t know how you homeschooling parents do it! I believe you only have 17 minutes to make dinner! 😉
My husband hates meat and fruit, thus no apricot chicken until he travels 🙂 Crazy week again here so meal planning has been my savior. I’ve already gone to the grocery even!
Sunday: Buffalo chicken french breads (http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/12/serious-buffalo-chicken-french-breads/) with sweet potato fries and chopped salads.
Monday: Ahi tuna steaks with roasted asparagus and garlic roasted fingerling potatoes.
Tuesday: Pizza and leftovers ”” two different groups of us will eat pizza at our various events and husband will eat leftovers.
Wednesday: Cheesy Greek-style baked quinoa (http://cookingwithcakes.com/cheesy-greek-style-baked-quinoa/)
Thursday: Roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, sausage and peppers.
Friday: I was going to doing meatloaf with smashed redskins and brussel sprouts but I forgot it was valentine’s day so I may switch it up or at least add in a sweet dessert.
Saturday: Dinner out of town!
Here’s my plan for the week!

Hi Vicki,
I would love to know more about the Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Bake you have on your menu and also the Cilantro Cream Sauce you are having with the Tilapia Tacos.
Thanks for asking! The creamy chicken spaghetti bake and the tilapia tacos were from Picky Palate’s cookbook, the spaghetti bake turned out to be more a chicken parmesan bake, chopped chicken sauteed with onion, garlic and seasonings, then add in the tomatoes, some cheese, mix in cooked spaghetti, top with lots of cheese, and bake for about 20 minutes. The cilantro cream sauce was 1/2 c sour cream, 1/2-1 t lime juice, 1/2 c cilantro chopped, salt, and tobasco sauce to taste, then mix and serve with the tacos. We all really liked both of those recipes. The spaghetti bake was different then the recipe in the cookbook

We are STILL eating out of our freezer. I can’t believe the food has lasted this long. Just goes to show that we had more in there than I thought and that it really needed to be used up. Turns out to have been a great time to do this, as there haven’t been any good sales these past few weeks.
it IS amazing how much food you end up stashing away in the freezer. so great that you’re using it all up!
