Sunday:  Crockpot Creamy Chicken Taco Chili
·        
 This was
a perfect soup to throw in the crockpot before church and cook on low until we
were home for lunch.  I used a rotisserie
chicken that I had shredded and placed in the freezer several days ago and just
put it in the crockpot frozen.  Since I
was using already cooked chicken (instead of raw, frozen chicken breasts as the
recipe originally calls for), I also added one can of vegetable broth.  This helped the soup stay creamy and not
dry.  We all loved it, and it made
excellent leftovers for a couple of days!

Monday:  Chicken Strips with Roasted Broccoli
& Carrots
·        
 Soccer
and softball night!  As always, a quick
easy meal is a MUST!
Tuesday:  Oh My Goodness Chicken, Roasted Parmesan
Green Beans, & Bread
·        
 I came
across this on Pinterest (of course), and it seemed easy enough to try!  It was tasty, and plain enough that the boys
had no problem with it.  Chad & I
added Frank’s Red Hot to ours to give it more of a kick!  I might play with the flavors a bit the next
time we try this.  (http://theenchantedcook.blogspot.com/)
Wednesday:  Elbow Pasta with Turkey Sausage &
Marinara, Caesar Salad, & Warm Garlic Bread
·        
 I had
some turkey sausage in the freezer that I thawed out and browned.  After draining it, I added it to marinara
sauce and then poured it over prepared whole wheat, elbow macaroni pasta (my
kids’ favorite).  I rounded out the meal
with Caesar salad and warm, toasty, whole wheat garlic bread.  Yum!
Thursday:  Burger Night!
Friday:  Birthday Party!
·        
 We
attended a friend’s birthday party, so we ate dinner there.  J
Saturday:  Baked Tacos, Cilantro Lime Rice, &
Spinach Salad
·        
 I haven’t
made these in quite a while, but Chad is always happy when I do!  They are really delicious, and they are also
quite easy to prepare.  It’s a great way
for our kids to eat tacos, as baking them helps keep them all “stuck” together
and also softens the shells so there’s less mess.  It’s definitely a nice way to change up taco
night.  I did use her recipe for homemade
taco seasoning, but I bought my taco shells from the store.  J  (http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/)
Cilantro Lime Rice
·        
This tasty rice could not be easier.  Just make rice as you normally would, then
add butter, cilantro, lime juice & zest, & a little garlic salt.  Yum!
Thanks for taking time out of your already busy schedule to help us moms out with some recipes! I look at it every week, and it definitely inspires me cook more and change up my menu :-)
