Menu Planning Monday

It was fun to get back to trying new meals. Both the tomato basil parmesan soup and the apricot chicken were a success. I didn't get to the chicken noodle soup because I was at Costco that day and decided to just buy their fresh version.
I cannot believe that January is already over. It has flown by. My 3rd child is 15 today. Where is the time going? It is so fun to see my kids grow. They are all amazing. I hope they love to cook when they grow up and we can share more and more recipes with our families.


Monday: Macaroni grill for Rachael's birthday
Tuesday: chicken and steak fajitas using leftovers from Sunday bbq
Wednesday: crock pot chicken
Thursday: ground turkey and bell peppers
Friday: turkey burgers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: pork roast

Last week we managed to eat good meals every night, but with some adaptations. That's what life is all about. We really enjoyed the tilapia with avocado salsa. I had never broiled my fish before and it turned out well. The salsa would have been even better if my avocados hadn't been hard as a rock. It was still good without them. So, a couple of items we will try to get in this week.

Monday: Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup
Tuesday: apricot chicken with spaghetti squash
Wednesday: chicken noodle soup
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: pizza for Rachael's birthday party
Saturday: date night
Sunday: bbq chicken and steak

Has anyone else fallen off the good health wagon? Or is it just me? I am so ready to feel good again. Do I want my children to grow up and deal with weight issues and poor health? Absolutely not! So, it's high time we put some focus back into what is going into our mouths. I will be going back to posting my daily exercise routines. It's always good to be accountable to someone, even if it's just my blog. When I post my menus, I am always adapting my menu for myself. If there is pasta or tortillas, just know that I am eating the food with fresh veggies instead. Here's to having a fantastic week.

Monday: tilapia with avocado salsa
Tuesday: steak and chicken fajitas
Wednesday: leftovers
Thursday: apricot chicken with spaghetti squash
Friday: chicken burgers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: Tomato basil parmesan soup

Christmas has finally ended. We had our last family party on Saturday. The trees and decorations are still up, but the fridge has been cleaned out. I am anxious to go through the pantry and clean it out. My life has been so busy, that I have got to plan more simple meals that I can easily stick to. I'm not really in a place where I can be trying lots of new recipes all the time. I'm debating as to whether or not I should stick with a theme for each day that is the same every week. Like crock pot day, chicken, mexican, etc. I don't know if I'm ready to be that organized. I do know that I want my family to eat healthier and so I may have to put one new healthy recipe in. We will see how it goes.

Monday: pasta with chicken meatballs
Tuesday: ground turkey with bellpeppers
Wednesday: fish tacos
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: chicken burgers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: cranberry pork roast
