Menu Monday

I've been enjoying some unplugged time.  Not completely unplugged, but I've been on my computer much less than usual...and it has been nice.  However, my father-in-law mentioned my lack of blogging on the boys' blog ... and so here I am.

I've been following a loose plan for most of the month.  With all the birthdays and holidays, we've eaten out a lot and eaten a lot more junk than normal.  As much fun as all that celebrating has been (three birthdays, Valentine's Day, and a family party in 19 days), I'm looking forward to the routine of a plain, old, boring Meal Plan.

Here's my plan for the week:

MONDAY:  Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (made with quinoa instead of rice)

TUESDAY:  Sweet and Sour Meatballs

WEDNESDAY:  Chicken Parm with Noodles

THURSDAY:  mini-German Pancakes and sausage

FRIDAY:  Left-overs or Fast Food Friday

SATURDAY:  Pizza-rama

SUNDAY:  Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches

What are you eating these days?

Meals

Getting dinner on the table is a challenge.  We sometimes forgo the menu plan and have another breakfast night because it is easy and the chaos called the 4 o'clock hour makes it hard to get dinner started and ready to eat by 5:30.  When planning this week, ease was the theme.  Peace and ease.

MONDAY:  Hodge Podge Soup (crock-pot delight and some homemade bread or rolls)

TUESDAY:  Turkey-Meatloaf (from the freezer) and steak fries (because only a third of the family will eat baked potatoes)

WEDNESDAY:  Freezer surprise ... I know I have a crock-pot or casserole of some sort of chicken in the freezer.  I just don't remember what it is right now.

THURSDAY:  Pancakes, eggs, and turkey bacon

FRIDAY:  Basketball food ... we are taking the boys to the high school basketball game, so we'll either grab fast food or concessions food

SATURDAY:  Tacos (because I'm actually sick of pizza and the meat is already seasoned and in the freezer ready to go)

SUNDAY:  Dinner at my mom's house

There you go, my week of quick and easy and somewhat healthy meals.  Ease.
