Meal Planning

mushrooms

This weeks is crazy summer busy, with my non stop super exhausting schedule during the summer. I need dinners that are easy and get my kid to the next.. swim meet, volleyball  practice, or playdate.  I really love making meals that I can make extra food and use it for the next meal simplify my life. Sides are my favorite,  Rice that becomes fried rice.  Mash potatoes that become the top of my Sheppard pie.

Monday :Traditional Polish Golabki Recipe (cabbage Rolls)   I always  make 2 trays of this recipe because it takes some time to make them .

Tuesday : Spaghetti  fresh tomato sausage sauce

Wednesday: Tacos in in a bag

Thursday: Hot Dogs and Tator tots

Friday: Chicken and Homemade Mash potatoes

Saturday: Shepard’s Pie
