Meal Plan #3!

March 20th - 26th

Well, week 2 didn't go so hot - I did it again, putting two casseroles right in a row! What was I thinking??? Anyway, on Wednesday Adam was working late anyway so I ordered a pizza =/ And bumped the Tator Tot Casserole to Thursday. It was a good decision since we had some friends over and that casserole is so easy. Then we had the Apple Pork Chops last night - not great. Actually, nothing throughout the week really stood out to me.


Adam's camping tonight so I'm not planning anything - even though I'd really like to have those Chicken Enchiladas Verdes that we never got to! Maybe this week since I already bought all the ingredients?!


So on to week 3!!! This is so much fun for me finding all these new recipes! However, Adam brought to my attention that we don't need some elaborate (or even easy) new recipe every night, so this week is about some of our favorites, with a few new ones thrown in to keep it interesting, enjoy!

Sunday: Beef Round Tip Roast on the Rotisserie <-- Adam's own recipe :)

Monday: Fish Tacos <-- I'll post my own recipe after we make this... YUM!

Tuesday: French's Onion Chicken

Wednesday: Crockpot Beef Stroganoff <-- I'm giving this another go cause I've been dying to use my crockpot!

Thursday: Ravioli, Caesar Salad & Garlic bread <--- Um yes, it's from a bag... lazy week?!

Friday: Chicken Enchiladas Verdes <-- I omitted the ingredients from the grocery list cause I have them for last week, check out meal plan 2 if you need them!

Saturday: TBD :)

Meal Plan #2!

March 13th - 19th

Welcome to week two!  Week one went well... um, as well as could have been expected for week one anyway! Adam's favorite was the Aloha Pork - SO yummy! Mine was probably the Chicken Fiesta Salad, although I made some minor changes to that recipe which can be found here. 

I also had to make a minor change 1/2 way through the week cause I didn't realize I put two meat/rice dishes right in a row. So I switched Wed and Friday around... but then, I got a bout of the stomach flu on Thursday night into the day on Friday so dinner was out of the question for me. Adam went ahead and had the meatloaf as leftovers. :) So we're pushing the Arroz Con Pollo to tonight because I really wanted to try it over the Stroganoff. Maybe we'll save that for week 3.

Overall, 6 out of 7 days with just a few changes ain't bad for our first week right??? 

So, on to week 2! :) I've decided to make this work I need to make some slight changes. I'm not going to plan every day. A lot of Saturday nights Adam will be camping or out doing "guy" things. Or once the weather gets nicer we'll be out camping with him or doing family stuff so for right now I'm either not going to plan Saturdays or I'll find something SUPER simple and solely geared for Landon. And Sunday's are just out because usually after camping, maybe drinking, and fishing all day Sunday - the last thing he ever wants to come home to is a huge meal... plus half the time, I never know when to expect him or know when we'll be back from our adventures. Which is fine - maybe Sunday's we'll order a pizza... :)

Sunday: I'm already drooling for a Papa Murphy's Chicken Garlic Gourmet on thin crust!

Monday: Artichoke & Tomato Chicken

Tuesday: Cornbread Taco Bake (My mom makes this the best and I couldn't find her recipe, but I think this is close?!)
