Sunday:
Sandwiches
·
We have
small group at 5:30, so the kids had sandwiches before we left. They were able to enjoy a few treats while we
were at group. J Chad & I ate after we came home.
Monday:
Dinner at Grammy & DadDad’s
·
Chad was
out of town, so we spent the day at Grammy & DadDad’s house. It was great!
They fed us lunch & dinner, the kids played with all their favorite
toys, & I had a relaxing afternoon without any chores. J
Tuesday:
5 Ingredient White Chicken Chili with Toasted Whole Grain Bread
·
This is
one of the tastiest soups we’ve ever
had. I almost feel silly saying that
because it’s so ridiculously easy that it seems unfair that it’s also
ridiculously good. I used the meat from
a rotisserie chicken. We topped ours
with fresh avocado and shredded cheese.
I actually doubled the recipe and took some over to some friends. Even with that, we had more than enough for
our dinner and a couple of days’ worth of lunch leftovers! This will be repeated throughout this fall
and winter, without a doubt. (http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/)

It would be easy to make this even healthier by making your own salsa
verde and making white beans ahead of time rather than using canned…but I am
not quite that together.

Meredith’s Chicken & Veggie Taco

This is
definitely a favorite in our house, and it’s a wonderful recipe to make when
having company. We had some friends from
church over, and everyone seemed happy with this meal! I love dicing all the vegetables up ahead of
time. When it’s time for dinner, it’s so
simple to just throw everything together over the stove and have a delicious,
healthy meal in no time!
Ground Chicken
(I used 2 pounds.)
Finely chopped/diced veggies of your choice (I used
1 zucchini, 3 big carrots, & 2-3 big handfuls of spinach. I use my mini food processor to chop
everything really small.)
1 Can Rotel
Taco Seasoning
Olive Oil
Minced Garlic
Cook the chicken with olive oil & minced garlic
until no longer pink. Drain chicken if
necessary. Add your finely diced veggies, Rotel, & taco seasoning. Mix it all together until everything is
heated through. Serve with tortillas or
chips of your choice. We used corn and
flour tortillas and topped them with some shredded cheese.
This ground chicken is delicious and healthy and
very easy to freeze and have on hand for other meals. I always make more than we need because it’s
such a good leftover and great to freeze.

I’m still
holding on to a little bit of summer with this salad. Instead of grilling the corn, I roasted it in
a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes, turning occasionally. Before placing it in the oven, I sprayed on a
little olive oil. It turned out
perfectly! This salad is a delicious
addition to any meal. (www.tastebook.com)
Thursday:
Bacon, Pear, & Raspberry Grilled Cheese with Zucchini Chips
·
These sandwiches are so, so, SO
delicious! I can’t even tell you how
much we enjoyed these! I love when
someone thinks of such a great recipe, and I repeat it. I followed her recipe exactly. When I told Callen we were using “muenster”
cheese, he heard “monster,” and was pretty happy about it! To make the sandwiches “smoosh” together a
bit more, I placed a heavy sauce pot on top of them while they were grilling on
the stove. If you have a Panini press,
it would be even easier. J (http://pinchofyum.com/)

My kids
love making and eating these, and
they seemed like the perfect accompaniment to our grilled cheeses. (http://www.nutritionistinthekitch.com/)
