This is a very kid-friendly menu this week,
as Chad was gone for three evenings, and we had soccer on another.
Sunday:
Dinner with Small Group
Monday:
Fish Sticks, Tator Tots, & Apples
·
Ranger
has soccer practice at 6pm on Monday evenings, so our meal has to be
quick. Chad usually works until it’s
time to practice, so I actually don’t plan Monday’s meal with he or I in mind,
particularly. I ate with the kids, and
then made Chad a grilled sandwich with fruit after practice (before he left to
play a softball game!). Our Mondays will
be all about convenience for the next 6-7 weeks. J
Tuesday:
Hot dogs, Macaroni & Cheese, & Spinach Salad
·
For some
reason, my boys don’t complain about eating fresh spinach, so I’m always glad
when I can add a spinach salad to a kid-friendly dinner. I skipped out on the hot dogs and macaroni,
and just made myself a large spinach salad with some leftover chicken, boiled
egg, strawberries, sunflower seeds, and a little bit of olive oil and
raspberry-infused balsamic vinegar.
Everyone was happy!
Wednesday:
Breakfast for Dinner!
·
You know
us…if Chad isn’t home for dinner for 2-3 nights, the boys are going to request
breakfast for dinner. I’m usually happy
to oblige since it’s quick, easy, & they eat it with no complaints. J
Thursday:
Dinner Out
·
On the
third night of being home with the kids for dinner without Chad, I decided we
should go out. I let Ranger choose since
it was also his first day of preschool.
Mooyah was his choice!
Friday:
Chubby Chicken & Cream Cheese Taquitos with Black Beans
·
I saw
this recipe on http://www.cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com/
and thought it would be delicious and easy.
Both things turned out to be true!
I love any recipe that can be made with a rotisserie chicken. I actually made the chicken mixture up
earlier in the afternoon, so when it was time to cook, I just assembled the
taquitos and cooked them on the stove.
They are really, really yummy! The
boys liked that they had veggies that they “can’t taste.” J I made 8 good-sized taquitos.
Saturday:
Leftover Taquitos and Black Beans
·
We had
just enough to have one more meal!
Hooray!
