Last week I shared some ramblings about my weekly chore and challenge of meal planning. I know so many of you are in the same arena, trying to prepare nutritious weeknight meals that already before your kids fill up on after school snacks.
My Sanity Saving Strategy for Weeknight Meals: Here's How
I had some good feedback from my last post, so I am going to continue to share my meal plan for the upcoming week so that you might get some inspirations - or better yet, maybe you can give me some good ideas! (Thank you to those of you who posted comments or sent me an email last week!)
Here we go:
Monday: Steak and Chicken Sheet Pan Fajitas with Spanish Rice
(inspired from Jo's comment on my last post and from this recipe feature that I wrote for Minnesota Parent magazine last April)
need: peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, steak, Spanish rice mix
Tuesday: Meatloaf Muffins, Mashed Potatoes & Garden Green Beans
I am going to try an adaption of this highly rated recipe this week. Using some of the herbs that I have dried and stored from our summer garden and some store bought pork/hamburger grind and some venison
need: carrots, onion, pork/beef grind, saltines, potatoes
Wednesday: Pasta Bar
Twisting a recommendation for "pasta boats" from Jo's comment on my last post to a pasta bar idea.
need: ham, mushrooms, bacon, broccoli, chicken, red sauce, alfredo sauce, broccoli, parmesan cheese, pesto, noodles
Thursday: Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring
Using up eggs is always a great option when we have laying hens. I am going to try this recipe this week: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/crescent-bacon-breakfast-ring/
I have a great go-t0 recipe for homemade crescent dough from this book that I will use for the dough.
need: eggs, bacon, green onions, peppers, cheese, crescent dough
Friday: Mini Sub Sandwiches
need: Sarah Lee Center Cut Hoagie Rolls, lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, and extras
