Sunday: Sandwiches
Monday: Dinner Out
·
Swim
lessons from 4:45 – 5:20 and Daddy’s baseball game at 6:30 means a quick dinner
out. J Our choice…Cheezies for yummy grilled cheese
sandwiches!
Tuesday: Baked Venison Meatballs with Homemade
Marinara and Pasta with Caesar Salad
Baked Venison
Meatballs
Meatballs are a kid favorite around here, so I thought it
was time I made some with a little of the ground venison in our freezer. I didn’t really measure anything, but here’s
the recipe if you need measurements:
-
1 lb
ground venison (or any lean meat of your choice)
-
½ cup Panko bread crumbs
-
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
-
1 egg
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Italian seasoning
Mix all ingredients together with
your hands until everything is incorporated.
Roll into 1” balls and place in a foil-lined baking pan. Cook at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cut one open to check for doneness.
I made this
marinara in the crock pot several weeks back along with the meatballs she
makes, and really enjoyed it. So, I made
the sauce again for this meal, except this time I doubled the recipe and made
it on the stovetop. I let it simmer for
a couple of hours. I made double so that
I could throw some in the freezer for use in a later meal. I added a little more basil and Italian
seasoning to the sauce to give it a bit more flavor, and I also added some red pepper
flakes to give it a kick. This is so
delicious, easy, and healthy!
Wednesday: Dinner at Mom’s
·
One more
busy night…after swim lessons we ran to Mom’s where she had a yummy dinner for
us before heading to Ranger’s 7:00pm baseball game. This week has been a little too busy for my
liking, and I know it’s nowhere close to how busy most people with older kids
are all the time!
Thursday: Parmesan Crusted Tilapia with Tomato Basil
Cream Sauce & Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
·
We’ve had
parmesan crusted tilapia in the past, and the kids always really enjoy it. I saw this recipe and thought the cream sauce
would taste AMAZING! It’s a pretty
simple recipe, but you are standing over the stove for the entire meal prep. So, either your kids need to be occupied
elsewhere, or they will be “helping” you in some way while you cook. J I didn’t put any of the sauce on the kids’
tilapia, as they prefer it plain and aren’t big fans of tomatoes. Chad and I didn’t mind though…there was more
for us! Ranger and Payton gobbled their
fish up quite quickly, and Callen didn’t eat because he hasn’t been feeling
well. Chad and I cleaned our plates, and
Chad went back for seconds. This recipe
is definitely a keeper! (Life’s

Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
We love roasted veggies around here! We all prefer the taste of them, and they are very simple to make...especially if you have some good frozen veggies on hand. I buy the large, frozen bag of organic green beans from CostCo so that having a green veggie with our dinner can be quick and easy. I just lay out the frozen green beans, drizzle with a bit of olive or avocado oil, sprinkle with season salt, and roast at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Then, I toss them around and roast for another 5 minutes or so. After I pull them out of the oven, I sprinkle on freshly grated Parmesan and let it melt a bit. That's all! It's so good! Here's the cast of characters:
