    Sunday - Rotisserie Chicken Ranch Pasta Dinner (I found this recipe on Pinterest & this will be my first attempt) & a side salad
    Monday - Tacos
    Tuesday - Pot Roast & mashed potatoes
    Wednesday - Fried Rice w/ Chicken & a mixed fruit side
    Thursday - Sloppy Joes w/ sweet potatoe tots
    Friday - Chicken Pot Pie
    Saturday - Spaghetti & garlic bread w/ a side salad

    Clearly, I'm pretty simple. Cooking really isn't my forte... I'm working on it, though!

    Sometime this week I will also try making Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries - another Pinterest find.

    Sunday- Beef roast with potatoes, carrots, onion, mushrooms and Yorkshire pudding. With watermelon (cause pregnant me said so)


    The rest depends on my mood that day/night. But here is what we bought and plans for meals:

    -Grilled ribs, potato bombs, watermelon, corn on the cob
    -Fried Chicken, garlic rice (homemade), green beans
    -Steak, baked potatoes, vegetable kabobs
    -Chicken kabobs, coconut rice with black beans, fruit salad
    - Date night - kids will have either pizza or spaghetti and meatballs

    IDK for Saturday because our menu begins on Saturday which is shopping day.

    An alternate: Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green beans, carrots.
    or
    Meatloaf, potatoes, carrots, corn
    Most of that is just put it in the pan at various times and ignore.
     
    I have several turkeys in the freezer because I like them a little to much. I am a slight food hoarder. I have gotten a lot better about it and only have a stand up freezer full plus my small pantry. That is actually pretty good for me. It use to be the fridge freezer, small chest, and a stand up freezer.
    DS1 - 6/07
    DS2 - 8/08
    DS3- 9/09
    DD1 - 11/11
    DD2 - 10/13
    DD3 - Csection Scheduled November 29th

    I have been REALLY craving buffalo chicken for the last few weeks.

    Anyway, this is what I make. But rather than the avocado ranch, I make a healthy-ish blue cheese with reduced fat sour cream, kraft olive oil mayo, and crumbled blue cheese. The kids don't 'do' salad, so I give them theirs in wraps.

    I'm late and kind of play dinners by the ear even though I meal plan before shopping on Fridays.

    About those strawberries I have a Pampered Chef recipe that I used & oh my goodness so simple and amazing. 3 ingredients!

    DH just made fun of me for being a food hoarder. We have plenty of food for at least 2 weeks but I grocery shop every week. I don't want to run out of food in case of emergency haha.

    But since I only have the pantry and the freezer (side by side fridge) full, I don't feel so bad. Thanks!

    Taco zucchini boats sound yummy!!

    I am lucky if I plan one meal a week.
