Sunday: Dinner with Our Small Group
Monday: Date Night!
·
Our kids
stayed the night with their aunt, uncle, and cousins, so Chad and I had a
random Monday date night. J
Tuesday: Pizza Night
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli with Rice
·
I saw a
different beef and broccoli recipe that looked amazing on Pinterest, but our
week’s schedule changed on me a bit, so I found this one for the slow cooker
instead. I’ve made another recipe or two
from this blog, so I felt confident it
would be delicious. It was! This recipe was quick and simple to throw
together, and we all enjoyed it. I
actually used flank steak since it’s a bit cheaper. It’s a tougher cut of beef, so I cooked mine
for about 6 hours instead of the 2 it recommends. We ate every bite!
Thursday: Garlic Butter Shrimp and Quinoa with
Fresh Spinach Salad
·
I always
see recipes for shrimp and pin them on Pinterest, but I never actually try
them! J This one from Pinch
of Yum looked too tasty to pass up, and it looked pretty easy too. I also really wanted the boys to try some
shrimp now that they love to eat all kinds of fish. This was so, so YUMMY! Which, I suppose if you add enough garlic and
butter to anything, it should be good. J Her method of cooking the quinoa is a little
different and incredibly delicious. The
meal was a HUGE hit, and the boys both officially declared that they love
shrimp!! Yay! One note…our house smelled of shrimp for 4
days, so we will be cooking shrimp outside on the grill from now on.
Friday: Dinner at Mom’s
Saturday: Pepperoni, Tomato, and Mushroom Pizzas on
Pioneer Woman’s Pizza Crust
·
My
favorite easy pizza crust is from Pioneer Woman. It’s so good, and you can make it a day or
two ahead of time, which means actually making dinner doesn’t take much time at
all. I topped ours with pepperoni, fresh
tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, and sliced fresh mozzarella. It was perfect for our family movie night!
