Meal Planning Monday

mushroomsAn week and other Meal Plan.  This plan is different this week because I am only cooking for me and the kids.  My husband is doing a juice fast,  but that is another blog post for a different day. So when meal planing this week I took a few things into account.  1- I can make thing my husband does not enjoy like tomato sauce.  2. I can do sandwiches  where my husband does not request I make more complex meal I do when he is eating,  so simple is my thing this week.

Monday: Spaghetti and meat sauce and salad

Tuesday: Grill Cheese and Tomato Soup

Wednesday: Frozen Lasagna with cucumber side

Thursday: Homemade chicken fingers, tater tots and salad

Friday: Homemade Pizzas

Leftover Chicken Ideas

girl near a pongLeftover Chicken Ideas for those night they have chicken in the fridge:  So this week I am still adjusting from coming off being away and the kids being home it is the 3rd week of the summer.  My Sister In law had a large 4th of July party this weekend. Ok so it was on the 6th.  The kids had a great time and the food was very plentiful.   I made my pickled cauliflower salad and pickled onions.  For dessert I brought Lemon Sugar cookies with Lavender,  which I will be posting about later this week.  My sister inlaws family provides all the meat,  so standard hamburgers and hot dog but also 80 split chickens.    YES I said 80 Chicken split!!!  160 halves…  So Guess what I got to bring home.. 4 chicken halves.. yummy and they don’t eat dark meat.     So Guess what we are eating this week..

Menu Plan weeks for April 15 2013

mushroomsSo Last week with the nice  weather meal planning was not followed.  The reason I love meal planning is because it allows for flexibility.  So I was able to shift   things and come up with different options.   Which meant I had new options this week.

Quick Meal Planing

Monday- Baseball night  Grill cheese-  Kids standard white bread.  The Hubby and I Apples/brie/turkey/honey on rustic bread

Tuesday  My Split peas soup  that I wrote for 5mins for mom (bought ham cubes) left over rustic bread

Wednesday: Fish with asparagus and couscous (yea did not get made last week)

Thursday:  Italian Night starting with  Super Simple Fresh Mozzarella and Basil Bites Recipe From Sunday Supper and MeatBall Hogies

Friday : Swim Banquet So I am making a Salad I think I might try  Daphne Oz’s King of Greens Salad  (from The Chew) Since it is for many people I don’t have to expect the kids to eat  and I will not have to throw out a bunch of kale after being dressed.

Saturday I will be at Type A Advanced here is my own home town of Philly-  I love Blogging conferences.

Dont forget to check out my French Onion Bites post from last week.
