Happy Monday! I think I’m on my last week of driving around between 5 and 6, then rushing home to get dinner on the table. It’s stressful enough as it is – I cannot imagine doing this without meal planning. Not only have I been searching for recipes based on time, but I’ve been doing as much as possible in advance so that things are ready to be put in the pan or just re-heated; my family is ravenous by 7:00!
Apricot – Wasabi Pork Tenderloin, buttered noodles, and whatever vegetables are in the ‘fridge. I did not have time to go grocery shopping today, so I grabbed a pork roast from the freezer. There won’t be time to roast it, so I’ll convert the recipe to a stir-fry. Necessity is the mother of invention!
Pacos Soft Tacos and Mexican Fruit Salad. A super easy do ahead meal that everyone likes. My son and I like bean burritos for breakfast – an added bonus!
Crispy Tilapia and Classic Tartar, Really Red Potato Salad, and peas. The boys really like this fish. I’ve been experimenting with home made mayonnaise lately and it’s pretty awesome.
Birthday Boy #2’s Choice! He picked Fettuccini Alfredo, BLT Salad, and a fruit salad. This doesn’t fit nicely into my weight loss goals, so I’ve marked it as 0 servings for me, and I’ll dress my pasta with olive oil, fresh tomatoes, and capers.
Dinner Out, leaving Macghetti and Cheese for the kids per their request.
Birthday Boy #2’s Party. He wants to order pizza and have a smoothie bar. So be it! I’m going make a salad, too…
I never did get to the fried chicken from last week, so I’ll do my very best to get that on the table for dinner this week.
Hope you all plan to have a great week!
