I love bedhead, blankies, Christmas jammies in April, and big yawns. How can so much cuteness be rolled up in one little person without them even trying?
I am swamped with work right now. And on Thursday I am heading to Miami (woohoo!) for the Mom 2.0 Summit with my DailyBuzz Moms colleagues. I’m starting to hyperventilate just a little thinking about the week…so, I am going to make this a super easy plan. It involves more prepared foods than I like to use…but…it’s between that and my sanity, which is hanging by a thread, so I choose sanity!
MONDAY:
– Spaghetti
– Sauteed zucchini
TUESDAY:
– These frozen chicken cordon bleu things from my grocery store
– Cauliflower and long grain rice
WEDNESDAY:
– Pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw (buying pre-made BBQ pork and coleslaw!)
THURSDAY:
– Family fending for themselves!
FRIDAY:
– Family fending for themselves!
SATURDAY:
– Family fending for themselves! I’ll be partying at the Versace Mansion for Cinco de Mayo…with Owen in tow. How many 7 month olds can say they’ve done that?!
SUNDAY:
– Waffles, scrambled eggs and fruit
Share your menus for the week, please pretty please! Since I’m not providing much inspiration, you’re going to have to rely on each other for that! 😉
Hi! 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 count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
My three-year old saw a picture of your kids and wanted to know what all their names were. Now she talks about them like they’re friends who live far away from us. Very, very cute. 🙂
Sunday: Pasta with butter and green bean fries
Monday: Lasagna roll-ups from the freezer and roasted potatoes/onions
Tuesday: Roasted acorn squash with cinnamon apples and couscous
Wednesday: Dinner at church
Thursday: Vegetable soup and rustic white bread
Friday: Enchiladas (chicken for them, vegan for me)
Saturday: Celebrating Grandpa’s birthday!
Green bean fries?! How do you make those?
They were quite popular! And they have been requested again for this week.
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Trim/clean green beans.
3. Treat them to a breading regimen: dip in flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumbs (I prefer panko to make a little fluffy).
4. Bake to 10-15 minutes, flip, then cook for another 10 minutes until crispy and golden.
Note: I put them on a wire rack on a baking sheet to eliminate flipping and reduce cooking time.
5. Serve with everyone’s favorite dipping sauce!
bonnie, that is SO cute. seriously. 🙂
Over the course of the past two weeks I’ve been juggling two sick kids and one sick hubby, so our structured meal plans kind of fell to the wayside. Needless to say, I think we’re all finally ready to get back to a more structured routine! 🙂
Monday:
Swedish Meatballs (crock pot)
Couscous
Broccoli
Tuesday:
Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps
Chips & Guacamole
Wednesday:
Pasta w/ spinach, bacon & parmesean
Garlic Bread
Thursday:

Warm Corn & Black Bean Salad
Bread
Friday:
Leftovers
Saturday:
Pizza Rolls
Carrot & Zucchini Sticks
Sunday:
Waffles w/ strawberry syrup
Bacon
Smoothies
I’m taking my boys strawberry picking for the first time this week, so I’m sure strawberries will be making an appearance at many of our meals this week! 🙂
I hate those weeks when everyone gets sick…it really throws everything off. hope this week gets better! and have fun strawberry picking – I think picking berries is one of my most fondest memories with my kids every time we do it.
This is the first and last full week at home for a while. Work is such a drag. As always, follow along at (shameless plug alert) http://blogaldente.com.
S: Pizza
M: Yogurt-marinated chicken with mushrooms and sweet potatoes
T: Soba noodles in sweet ginger sauce with beef
W: Spicy chicken thighs with rhubarb-cucumber salsa and roasted potatoes with lemon and dill
R: Unsure. I wanted to do something with pomegranates, but they are out of season. Likely going to be clam-miso soup with some summer rolls from the local sushi-to-go place.
F: Takeout.
S: TBA. The Wife requested breakfast for Mother’s Day, so we’ll likely start things the night before with something fancy shmancy for dinner. Filet maybe?
FYI, Mother’s Day is the next weekend, May 13th.
work IS a drag.
shameless plug alerts are welcome! 🙂
I just love the pic of your daughter…so sweet!
Mon: Chicken & Veg Stir Fry (using up all veg that wasn’t used up last week) w/ pineapple fried brown rice(using leftover pineapple from last week also)

Fri: BBQ pork chops w/ grilled corn on the cob (BBQ spice butter) & coleslaw
Sat: Cinco de Mayo Fiesta–pollo asada, carne asada, pork tamales, beans & rice. Also making mango margaritas…yummy!
Sun: Fiesta leftovers
I’m also making pineapple muffins with leftover pineapple from last week. 🙂
I made the pineapple muffins today for Sunday brunch, and they were soooo yummy! I got the recipe from bakingbites.com. My 4-year-old son & hubby love them too! I thought I’d share this great recipe with you all. 🙂 The only thing I did different from her recipe was use half whole-wheat flour & half AP flour, and I didn’t have oranges so I added 1/4 cup OJ instead of the zest. I also added a splash of vanilla & a pinch of cinnamon. Enjoy!
Pineapple Muffins
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup buttermilk
6 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
2 tsp orange zest
1 cup chopped pineapple
coarse sugar, for topping
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and shredded coconut.
In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter egg and orange zest. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine, mixing only until no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Stir in chopped pineapple.
Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups (cups will be very full) and sprinkle generously with coarse sugar.
Bake for 16-19 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cook muffins on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Makes 12 muffins.
thanks lisa.
and thanks for sharing the muffin recipe – sounds so good!
We are going berry picking again this week (kids love it). Hopefully, we get tons of good fruit because that was my menu inspiration for the week:
Monday: strawberry pancakes and bacon
Tuesday: grilled chicken breasts over arugula with raspberries
Wednesday: takeout
Thursday: steak tacos
Friday: honey glazed salmon, garlic bread, salad
Saaturday: BBQ if the weather is nice—burgers, sesame noodle salad, mixed berries
With all these berries, i’ll definitely be baking. Im making a berry pound cake and organic pink lemonade cupcakes. For the cupcakes, i just prepare organic vanilla cake mix with a few changes. I use half organic lemonade and half fresh raspberry/strawberry juice instead of water. I also stir in a splash of heavy cream for richness, as i always have that on hand for buttercream frosting.
LOVE the idea of pink lemonade cupcakes…thanks for sharing!
yes, that IS a really cute and yummy sounding idea! love!
I haven’t been very good about planning lately. This week I am ready!!!

M – pasta and crockpot gr. turkey pesto meatballs
T – baked chicken, rice
W- leftovers

Not sure if I should confess about the layer of white that covered the lawn and roof on Saturday am. The rain washed it away and soccer season began as scheduled later that afternoon in rain and 4 degrees (Canadian Celsius style). It took two blankets and two jackets but I managed to stay on the sidelines for the whole game. I always figure if my kids are out there in shorts it is the least I can do.
So the menu this week is about the return of two kids with mad soccer schedules and our gloomy weather…not much BBQ or anything fun going on outside…other than soggy sideline watching! I hope the sun returns soon.
