April 18 - April 24

April 18 - April 24




Monday:   
Mexican Sweet Potato 
     Trying to fit in vegetarian sometimes is hard for me. I'm not quite a meat and potato girl, but I do love my proteins. However, this meal is so yummy! It usually creates some extra "stuffing" so I usually eat that in nachos or a quesadilla for lunch later in the week.
   
Tuesday:
     We host a small group from church in our house and meet most Tuesdays. We have taken a break from hosting the dinner portion but I still need to feed my family. This week I had a pork tenderloin leftover in my fridge and some spinach/cheese tortellini in my pantry. Easy, fast and reasonably healthy.
 
Wednesday      
      I had a huge batch of pulled pork from about a month ago that I threw in the freezer. (We ate on it last week, but still have a ton left) We also have several green peppers, a bag of baby carrots and some feta cheese already in the fridge. I will be combining those with some orzo pasta tonight.
  

Thursday:  
Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken 
Chicken and Spinach Flautas 
      This is becoming a go-to meal for me. It turned out that I had 3 bags of salsa chicken in my freezer and I am trying to make room for some more "dump in the crockpot meals" so flautas/taquitos again! Plus, H really likes to help make these and any special time I can get with her right now I will take!

Friday: 
Meatballs 
No-Knead Bread
     I will be seeing The Sound of Music this night so I wanted it to be easy on the hubby since he will have both kids. This will be the last time using the meatballs I already have in the freezer as well as the sauce I froze last time. 
     To make it feel a little more fresh and because the sauce is so good to dip in I will make bread. This is what it looked like last time I made it...


Saturday:  
     We will be celebrating my dads birthday this night... PARTY!!!

Sunday:
Smoky Mushroom Stroganoff 
     Now that it has gotten nice out our grill has become our weekend go to. But, I still like to try out new recipes and I thought grilled chicken on top of this pasta sounds really yummy.


Last Week Update:
     So I didn't post last week, because well - it was Thursday before I ever went to the store. Between meetings, leftovers and a general lack of motivation to cook it was a light week. 
      From the last post, the Chicken Cutlets that I cooked in the cast iron were AMAZING! I will absolutely make this again and I have already told so many people about it. If you are interested let me know I will get the recipe to you.

I'll give updates next week on how the new recipes turned out and any changes I would make. Stay tuned...
