I'm back with another meal planning post. We had a busy weekend of house projects (with a toddler and a baby around) so I didn't get around to planning until now! So we are scrounging for leftovers tonight and I have my groceries ordered and set to be picked up tomorrow morning. I
So here's what's sounding good (and easy) for this week-
Monday: leftovers (from freezer)
I have stew and tortilla soup in the freezer and I am currently defrosting both for dinner tonight! Ruby loves the soup, so that's an easy one, and Lane is not picky, so he'll be happy with whatever. I actually have a mom's night out tonight with my friends from Stroller Strides, so I'm glad to have something easy for my people to eat so I can get myself ready to go out!
Tuesday: Crock-Pot fiesta ranch chicken tacos
This chicken is so easy and quick for the morning prep, and then we just have it as tacos (with lettuce, tomato, and cheese) with rice and beans as sides. Easy! It makes a bunch so we may end up freezing some.
Wednesday: Turkey Meatballs
This is Lane's favorite and I'm feeling nice. Ha! In reality, it's easy to prep during naptime, and I can try out my spiralizer and have zoodles with them. I'll make regular spaghetti for everyone else.
Thursday: Pot Roast
I do an easy slow cooker pot roast with a chuck roast, a package of onion soup mix, and a splash of beef broth. So easy and it comes out perfectly every time. We'll have this with some green beans (from a can- have you tried this brand? we love them.) and some yeast rolls.
Friday: date night!
We are having our first non-grandparent babysitter come to our house to watch our kids! I have left Ruby before, but she was little (and asleep). I'm excited to get out of the house and hoping our kids really like the babysitter so she can come back! I'll make Ruby some macaroni and cheese - from a box, nothing fancy.
Saturday: another Stir Fry!
Still working through that ginger... We don't have plans for the weekend, so we may end up going out, but I like to have something available to make just in case. You never can tell how our little ones are going to feel about heading out to a restaurant.
Sunday: breakfast for dinner
After we get home from small group at church, it's usually almost 7:00 - so we have an easy scrambled eggs, pancakes from a mix dinner and head to bed.
That should do it for this week! We don't have much on our calendar except Ladies' Bible Study on Wednesday and maybe a couple workouts with Stroller Strides. I'm hoping to get some housework done, but you never know how plausible that is (or how motivated I'll actually be when I have a free moment - I'm currently back in bed with a cup of coffee - worn out after our trip to the doctor this morning!)
Have a good week everyone!
