Sunday: Rudy’s BBQ
·
After
church we picked up Rudy’s and took it home.
We ordered enough so we could also have some for dinner that evening
after small group.
Monday: Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Rice and
Roasted Broccoli
·
I always
like recipes from Six Sisters Stuff,
and this one did not disappoint. It’s
very quick and easy to put together, especially since I used a rotisserie
chicken. We prefer corn tortillas with
our enchiladas, so I heated some up in canola oil on the stove before rolling
the enchiladas. They were great, and I
had leftover for lunch for a few days after.

Tuesday: Grilled Trout with Zucchini Chips,
Roasted Sweet Potatoes, and Toasted Garlic Bread
·
Chad
received a cookbook all about cooking wild game and fish, so he’s been wanting
to try out some of the recipes. Our
friend, Jeff, came over for dinner, so it was the perfect time! Chad bought the trout whole with heads on! I’m
sad I didn’t take pictures of him cleaning them and making them “talk” to the
boys…it was hilarious. But, they were
delish, and it was a fun experience for all of us to eat fish straight off the
bone.
To go along with the meal, I made these
zucchini chips and also some diced, roasted sweet potatoes. Yum!
Wednesday: Breakfast!
·
The kids
and I were supposed to go eat with our friend, Sharon, and her two sweet
babies. But, as we were pulling up to
her house, Payton got sick all over herself and her car seat. L So, we headed straight home, and the boys
were so sweet and played patiently while I cleaned up Payton and the car. Ranger requested breakfast, and I knew that
was something I could whip up for them while holding Payton too. A quick dinner of eggs, bacon, toast, &
fruit hit the spot for the 3 of us who ate.

Thursday: Pizza Night
Friday: Oven Baked Ravioli with Roasted Green
Beans
·
We still
had a sick girl in our house, and I had a migraine earlier in the day. But, I felt like I needed to make dinner for
the boys and for Chad. Chad had been in
Houston for 3 days, and he eats out for every meal when he travels. So, I put together this simple meal. I really like the spinach ravioli from
CostCo. I placed the frozen ravioli in a
dish and topped it with pasta sauce and sautéed chicken sausage (also from my
freezer from a previous meal). I
sprinkled on a little cheese and covered the dish with foil and baked it for 45
minutes at 350 degrees. I uncovered it
and baked it for 5 minutes more to melt the cheese. That’s it…dinner's done!
Saturday: Britney’s “10 Chicken” in the Crock Pot
with Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad

My cousin
Britney shared this recipe with me, and we’ve had it before off the grill and
loved it. Several weeks ago, I bought
bone-in chicken thighs for another recipe and had some thighs that we didn’t need that
night. So I put them in a ziplock bag,
then I poured in some soy sauce, Italian dressing, and garlic powder. I mixed it all around a bit and stuck it in
the freezer.
We needed a good, home-cooked meal,
but I wasn’t sure Chad would have time to grill. So I pulled this chicken out of the freezer
and decided to give it a try in the crock pot.
I put it in completely frozen (marinade and all!), skin side up, and cooked it on low for
about 6-7 hours. When it was time to
eat, the chicken was PERFECT! The skin
was nice and crispy, and the meat just fell of the bone. Thanks for this great recipe, Britney! We love it on and off the grill!
…If chicken thighs aren’t your thing, by all means…use
chicken breasts. J I will say, we have a new found love for
chicken on the bone, though.

I’ve made
this salad a few times over the last month or so, and we’ve enjoyed it every time! Be sure and make a little extra, as it is
still amazing leftover! (http://www.justataste.com/)
