Sunday:
BBQ Turkey Meatloaf, Roasted Green Beans, & Warm Sourdough Bread
·
This is
one of my favorite meatloaf recipes. It’s
been a while since we had it, so we enjoyed it quite a bit! I used ground turkey instead of ground beef,
and I substituted oatmeal for bread crumbs.
Delish! This is also such a great
recipe to double and freeze a loaf for a night when you just want to pull
something out of the freezer.
Monday:
Chicken Strips, Fruit, & Macaroni & Cheese
·
I think
you can tell by this menu that Chad was gone for the evening, so I made
something the kids would definitely enjoy.

Tuesday:
Sautéed Spinach & Cheese Ravioli
·
Chad was
gone again, and the boys were staying the night with their cousins. So, it was just the girls! Payton is pretty easy to feed, and I wanted
something substantial. I buy the large
bags of frozen spinach and cheese ravioli from CostCo, and they are GREAT! You can make them in a few different
ways. I love sautéing them in a small
amount of butter in a hot skillet. They
turn brown and crispy on the outside, and warm and gooey on the inside! I sprinkle it with a little of the cheese
that comes with it, and it’s a great little meal when I’m just needing
something quick for myself.
Wednesday:
Linguini with Mild Italian Sausage & Pasta Sauce and Roasted
Green Beans (For the Parents) / Crescent Pizza Rolls (For the Kids)
·
I wasn’t
sure if Chad would be home for dinner or not, so when I found out he would be,
I thawed some mild Italian sausage from the freezer, cooked it up, and added it
to some pasta sauce. I combined the
sauce with some linguini noodles, which was a wonderfully delicious meal for
Chad and me. I roasted green beans again
because we had some in the fridge that needed to be eaten before they went bad.
Because I thought the sausage might be
a little spicy for the boys (it wouldn’t have been, by the way), I made them
some quick Crescent Pizza Rolls that I saw on Pinterest and have done many
times. Roll out your triangles, add 3-4
pepperonis, then add mozzarella cheese.
You can use half of a cheese stick or shredded cheese, whichever you
have on hand. I like to melt a little
butter and mix in a little garlic salt to brush over the top of the crescent
rolls before I bake them. Yum!
Thursday:
Grilled “Kickin’ Chicken” with Roasted Veggie Hash & Bread
·
Chad and
I had this a few weeks ago, and we have been obsessed with Frank’s Red Hot ever
since. Seriously, we are putting it on
everything! This recipe is easy and
delicious. It’s not too hot, and the
boys enjoyed it with us this time. (http://www.sweetlittlebluebird.com/)
Roasted Veggie Hash
·
Hash is a
little bit of a strange word, but it’s what we decided was best to call this
way of cooking vegetables. I diced our
sweet potatoes and zucchini really small – about a half inch square. Then, I tossed them with a little olive oil
and Season All. I roasted them at 425
degrees for 20 minutes, tossing everything around halfway through. This is a great way to roast veggies quickly,
as well as a great way to throw a few different vegetables together when you
don’t have enough of one particular type.
We love it!
Friday:
Crispy Parmesan Tilapia with Roasted Broccoli & Carrots
·
We had
this tilapia a month ago for my mom’s birthday.
We really enjoyed it then, so I was excited to make it again. I actually think it was better this time, and
I’m wondering if it was because I used fresh tilapia, rather than frozen that I
thawed. Either way, we really like this
recipe! The boys love it too, which is
always a plus. The breading is so
crunchy, and squeezing fresh lemon juice over the top right before eating it is
definitely the way to go! I’ll be
perusing http://www.spendwithpennies.com/
for more tasty recipes in the future. We
served ours with roasted broccoli and carrots – 2 vegetables that usually don’t
require too much coaxing for the boys
to eat. J
Saturday:
Sliders with Oven Baked French Fries and Fruit
·
We are
loving sliders this summer!
Cheeseburgers are such a hit at our house…especially with Ranger. Chad & I love making sliders because we
can make burgers several different ways.
On this evening, we topped ours with creamy Havarti cheese, avocados,
tomatoes, & fresh basil. These
little burgers were so, so, so good!!!
Adding baked French fries makes the kids happy too.
