Menu Planning Monday



I took a quick trip to Utah this weekend. My son is attending college there. He was getting his wisdom teeth out in preparation to serve a mission for our church. I flew in late Thursday night and surprised him Friday morning when I picked him up at his dorm. I am so glad I was able to be there to help him recover. I wish I could have stayed longer. We were able to stay with my sister and although he could only eat soup and pudding, we had some wonderful meals.

There was lots of snow while I was there and I spent lots of time culred up in a blanket. I don't get to do that too often in Arizona, nor do I have the time. My brother-in-law made some smokin chilli with sausage and yesterday we dined on one of my favorites, cranberry chicken. I just might be putting that on my menu this week.

Monday: ground turkey with bell peppers
Tuesday: broiled tilapia parmesan
Wednesday: cheesy chicken and spinach stuffed shells
Thursday: sweet pork tacos with cilantro lime slaw
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: cranberry chicken

Menu Planning Monday





Last week I successfully made the shrimp tortellini caesar salad. The only difference is that because not everyone likes shrimp, I left it off and put steak and chicken and shrimp out so everyone could choose their own protein. We had leftovers of all those and I used frozen shrimp. That worked well for our family. This week I am going on a little trip. So, my family will be on their own for the weekend. I am not going to plan anything because I know they will do their own thing.

Monday: pesto pizza
Tuesday: spaghetti squash with meatballs
Wednesday: crockpot chicken (cooked in chicken broth with mrs. dash seasoning)
Thursday: chicken burgers and hot dogs
Friday: on their own
Saturday: on their own
Sunday: dinner with Aunt Vyla?

Menu Planning Monday




So, I was so busy on Sunday that I forgot to put the pork roast in. We had to raid the fridge and freezer for dinner. That means that today we get to have a wonderful meal and then have leftovers tomorrow. I just pulled some valentine stuff out of the garage. I can't believe it is coming up so fast. Not sure how we will celebrate it yet. With each week, tax season gets busier and we see Orson less. That means no dad for dinner. They usually feed him at the office. So, it's just me and the kiddos. He is big on eating cereal when he gets home.

Monday: pork roast
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: tilapia
Thursday: fish tacos
Friday: breakfast for dinner
Saturday: date night
Sunday: chicken enchilladas
