I have made meal planning a pretty regular habit over the past couple years, so I thought I'd document what we're having in case it gives anyone else any ideas! Some of the ideas may be new things we're trying, but most will be tried-and-true, toddler approved, easy to prep during naptime, or under 30-min meals. We're in survival mode most days around dinner time here, but I've found that planning what's for dinner in advance helps me immensely!
Here's what sounds good this week.
Monday: Stir Fry
I used Walmart's online grocery ordering for the first time last week and loved it! When I ordered, though, I didn't pay attention to how much ginger I was buying, and I ended up getting a whole pound! We'll be trying to use that up for a while. ;)
Tuesday: Southwest Wraps
These are good with rotisserie chicken, taco ground beef/turkey, or this crock pot chicken recipe! I usually keep the components all separate for Ruby's dinner and serve with fruit.
Wednesday: leftovers!
I pack leftovers for Lane's lunch every day, but we usually need a leftover night anyway to make sure we aren't throwing away a bunch. And I enjoy a night off! (kinda-- does it count if you still have to wipe up the floor and do dishes?)
Thursday: Tex Mex Macaroni
Ruby turns two, so I'm making her favorite! I'm also making a Pink Lady Cake for dessert. We'll see if naptime really allows for all that. I have a box mix on standby!
Friday: Crock-Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
My favorite crock pot recipe! We love all the veggies in this and the seasoning tastes amazing. I use Swanson's Mexican flavored broth to amp up the flavor. I usually can find it at Target, but don't make a special trip. It's really good as is!
Saturday is our anniversary so we'll be going out, and Sundays we have our small group at church until about 6:30pm, so dinner is definitely something easy like scrambled eggs and Kodiak Cakes.
That'll do it for this week! I'm hoping to keep posting regularly - but we shall see what these two allow. :)
