Sunday: Crock Pot Honey BBQ Meatloaf with Steamed
Veggies
·
Our
family fave in a crock pot! Why have I
never thought of this before?? I
prepared the meatloaf as I always do (recipe here),
but this time I lined my crockpot with a couple of layers of foil and placed
the loaf in. I cooked it on low for
about 4 hours. When we arrived home after
church, it was ready and delicious! To
make things even simpler, I made a bag of the microwave steam veggies, and our
meal was all set in no time. Because I
lined the crock pot with foil, clean up was also a breeze. It also made great leftovers for my lunch for a couple of days!
Monday: Baked Buttermilk Chicken with Pesto
Potatoes & Green Beans
·
I made
this quite a long time ago and recently came upon the recipe (from Group Recipes) again. This time, I decided to make my own homemade
version on Cream of Mushroom Soup!
I’ll just say that I will ABSOLUTELY make cream
of mushroom soup from scratch again. It
was so flavorful and delicious all on its own…not to mention how tasty it was
in this dish. I feel a little silly for
being afraid to try it before. I
actually had some fresh mushrooms frozen that I thawed a bit before dicing up,
sautéing with diced onion and then adding to the soup. For those of you who don’t like mushrooms,
this soup would be good without them….the flavors of the butter and onion would
be wonderful on their own. In reading
the comments, this recipe for cream soup also seems adaptable for those
families on a gluten free or dairy free diet.
Pesto Potatoes
·
I diced
up red potatoes into bite-sized pieces and then tossed them in a bowl with some
prepared pesto (storebought J). Then I roasted them in a 425 degree oven for
about 15 minutes. I tossed them around
and roasted them for an additional 12 minutes or so, until they were golden
brown on the edges.
Tuesday: Breakfast for Dinner!
Wednesday: Baked Tacos with Green Salad
·
I’ve made
these a couple of times, and we always enjoy them! This time I did make the homemade taco shells
as she (Jillee)
suggests. Thankfully I remembered to
line the bottom rack of my oven with foil because the taco shells will drip a
little bit as they are cooking….so don’t forget! I’ve done it in the past with store-bought
shells, as well as with both homemade and store-bought taco seasoning…we like
them however they are prepared. These
are really great tacos for kids as the mixture stays stuck inside the shell
instead of falling all over the place!
As a default, I made a green salad again. It’s an easy way to have veggies on our
plates that the kids will eat. J
Thursday: Dinner at Mom’s
·
Chad had
a work dinner, but the kids and I didn’t just pine away while he was out…we had
a pumpkin decorating party at Nonnie’s!
Friday: Halloween!! J
·
Our kids
have been so excited for Halloween!! My
mom and Chad’s parents came over for dinner and trick-or-treating, so I made BBQ
Pork in the crock pot…easy peasey!
