Meal Plan #12!

June 6th - 13th

Aaaaaaand we're back!

I only took a week off... not too shabby! I probably should take another week off to really get settled but I can't help myself. Being a stay at home mom for the time being is taking a toll on me and I feel like I need to keep myself busy with "things" to do other than entertain Landon allllll day {although that's my number one task obviously}. Anyway, this week is kind of missmash and I already have a few nights of things planned but I thought I'd give it a go anyway :)

So, on to week 12! I think Adam is going back to Spokane this weekend to get the rest of our stuff so Fri/Sat Landon and I are going to fend for ourselves. So on Friday I made dinner plans with my sister :)

Monday: Aloha Pork Chops - a good one from week #1 :)

Tuesday: Mom took out some salmon that I imagine will get baked with lots of butter, onions and lemon... YUM!

Wednesday: We're heading to Grandma's house to celebrate her birthday and BBQ burgers!

Thursday: Angel Chicken Pasta

Friday: Cloverleaf!!!! I can't believe it took me over a week to get there!

Saturday: TBD... something easy.

Sunday: French's Onion Chicken Cordon Blue {I linked to my regular French's Onion Chicken but I'm doing a twisted version... I'll try to take pictures and post an updated recipe

Pork loin chops

White rice

Meal Plan #5!

Another short week - if you recall, I was out of town until the night of the 4th so this week our meal plan started on the 5th :) I know I'm posting this late too but I had it planned... I swear :) What an easy peasy week!!!

Tuesday: French's Onion Chicken (with a twist!) - I did a play on Chicken Cordon Bleu, I flattened out the breasts and rolled them up with Smoked Gouda Cheese and ham in the middle, then prepared as directed for the French's Chicken... Adam said it was the best chicken I've ever made! YUM! :)

Wednesday: Shredded Beef Enchilada's

Thursday: My auntie is going to be in town and wants to take us to dinner! Wohoo! Night out! :)

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 :)


The Grocery List:


Beef Round Tip Roast
1lb Tilapia Filets
Tempura batter
Corn tortillas
Cabbage/Corn mix
Lime
Sour Cream
Adobo Chili's
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Dijon mustard
Horseradish
French's Onions
2 Yukon Gold potatoes
Bacon
Fresh green beans
Gorgonzola cheese
2 pounds lean cubed stew beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 package mushroom gravy

Dinner Impossible...

Well go figure... I planned a yummy dinner tonight and before I could tell Adam he had made plans to go hunting after work. Erg... such is the life of a hunter - during hunting season I should pretty much not count on him for dinner - it was good by myself anyway. He'll be enjoying the cold leftover version here shortly when he gets home :)
