Monday - kids have leftover lo mein, L is having a black bean burger, I'll have dumplings in peanut sauce
Tuesday - L is out. Happy meals for the kids. Whatever I can dig up for me.
Wednesday - I think we have some tilapia or something in the freezer that needs to be eaten.
Thursday - No clue. Out to dinner?
Friday - L won't be home. frozen pizza picnic/movie night at home?

we didn't get to the actual grocery store this weekend. We just went to Target to get some of the basics.

Monday - homemade mac and cheese w/ turkey dogs (I made a huge batch of the m&c yesterday and will be freezing half of it for another meal this month)

Tuesday - crockpot turkey chili with twice baked potatos (made a couple weeks ago and frozen - these freeze + heat really well)

Wednesday - mini chicken pot pies (i hope to make extra to freeze)

Thursday - breakfast for dinner

Friday - leftovers?

I'm also planning on making baked oatmeal casserole and freezable breakfast burritos to help with our crazy mornings. clearly, i'm obsessed with freezable meals lately.

oh...that reminds me. I will have to do breakfast for dinner one night this weekend (L isn't going to be home.) Easy, fast, and the kids love it.

yup! i'm not a fan (i dont really eat breakfast foods), but the kids request it constantly and its so darn easy.

Tonight is leftover bruschetta we made yesterday (so good! All local ingredients!)
Tomorrow is homemade macaroni and cheese.
The rest of the week will probably be parmesan sage pork chops, the faux fried chicken we didn't make last week, and grilled chicken breasts with Risotto.

Today while Hen was at school I made acorn squash with beef and apple stuffing. And right now I have a chicken with carrots roasting.

I'm thinking those two things will get us to Wednesday, when I'll use the chicken to make soup while Hen's at school again.

I'm also planning to cook some teriyaki tofu and bok choy on Wednesday.

Then on Friday I'll probably just cook some pasta with red/meat sauce.

I stopped at the grocery store and picked up everything I need for the menu I made this morning! Thanks for inspiring me to be more proactive with dinner.

I won't play along because my diet is so different, but I love that you all are organized and inspiring others!
