Sunday:
Small Group
·
We meet
with a small group from our church at 5:30, so after, we made a quick dinner of
sandwiches.
Monday:
Kids – Pepperoni & Cheese Quesadillas; Us – Grilled “Kickin’
Chicken”, Baked Potaotes, & Roasted Broccoli
·
Monday
night is soccer practice night, so the kids ate an early dinner of pepperoni
& cheese quesadillas with apples.
After practice, Chad grilled up some chicken I had marinated earlier
with Frank’s Red Hot, olive oil, lime juice, & minced garlic. Callen & Payton were already in bed, and
Ranger sat and talked with us and had a bedtime snack while we enjoyed our
dinner. J
Tuesday:
My Birthday!
·
It was my
birthday, and unfortunately, Chad was out of town. But, my mom was able to celebrate with
us. We ate together at La Hacienda and
had a GREAT meal! The kids are kind of
hilarious when we actually go to a “sit down” restaurant because we do it so
rarely.
Wednesday:
Mushroom Asiago Chicken over Pasta with Roasted Green Beans &
Bread
·
I found
this recipe via Pinterest (of course), and definitely wanted to give it a
try. Our friend, Jeff, joined us for
dinner, and there was more than enough for all of us. It was pretty simple to make, although it is
a stand-at-the-stove dinner, so I was a little hot. No big deal though! We all really enjoyed it. I served ours over whole wheat elbow pasta
because it’s an easier pasta for my kids to eat. They pretty much thought they were eating
macaroni-and-cheese with chicken! Asiago
is a pretty strong cheese, though. So,
if that’s not your thing…you’ve been warned.

Roasted Green Beans
·
Lay out
your trimmed green beans on a baking sheet lined with foil. Toss the beans with olive oil, salt, &
pepper. Roast at 425 for 15-20 minutes,
depending on the thickness of the green bean.
(I prefer the smaller ones.)
Sprinkle a generous amount of freshly-grated Parmesan cheese over the
top and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
These are YUM-O!
Thursday:
Grilled Salmon, Oven-Baked French Fries, Avocados & Grapes
·
This meal
sounds a bit random, and in a way, it was.
Originally I had planned for cheeseburgers, so earlier in the day I had
cut up potatoes and had them soaking in salted water in the fridge, ready to
make oven-baked French fries with them.
But, Chad came home and revealed that he had enjoyed a cheeseburger for
lunch.
We still had to have fries, but I
changed the plan and had Chad grill some salmon marinated in soy sauce, garlic
powder, & lemon juice. We had an
avocado that needed to be eaten, so we added that along with some grapes to our
meal. So, pretty random, but also pretty
tasty!
Friday:
Grilled BBQ Chicken, Roasted Zucchini & Sweet Potatoes, &
Bread
·
My mom
and great-aunt came over and joined us for dinner. Chad made some delicious BBQ chicken on the
grill while I roasted veggies & warmed bread inside. These fall temperatures we’ve been having are
great!
Saturday: Mini Cheeseburgers, Chips, & Apples
·
We
finally had the burgers I had planned to have a few days ago. They were delish, as always! Since I had already made our fries, we simply
added chips and apples. Everyone was
happy!
