Sunday: Pepperoni & Cheese Crescent Roll Ups
with Fruit & Chips
We had arrived home late the night before and didn’t have
many groceries on hand, so I made our dinner with what we had. Pepperoni, mozzarella cheese sticks, and
crescent rolls made a dinner everyone was happy with! I brush the tops of the rolled up crescent
rolls with garlic butter before baking them to make them extra tasty.
Monday: Memorial Day:
Hot Dogs, Fruit, & Chips
Tuesday: Steaks, Sautéed Mushrooms, Sliced Tomatoes
with Balsamic Vinegar
Chad was wanting to grill, and I was also happy with that
plan. J
Wednesday: Chicken Parmesan Casserole with Roasted
Broccoli
I’m not sure what made me remember this recipe from Emily Bites…I haven’t made it in a really
long time! But, I’m so happy I thought
of it again! Originally, my plan with
the kids this day was to go buy a few groceries, but we ended up having fun
instead, so I didn’t buy ingredients specifically for this dish. But, I was able to make it happen thanks to
some freezer help! I had frozen chicken
thighs that I thawed out. I also had a frozen
bag of homemade, crock pot marinara sauce from a month or two ago. I broke the sauce in half because I didn’t
need all of it. So, half of the bag went
right back into the freezer for another meal!
I also didn’t have any croutons on hand, but I did have some
whole wheat mini hamburger buns in the freezer from a meal before our beach
trip. I pulled those out, went to the
ever-reliable Pinterest, and made my own croutons using a combination of this
recipe and this recipe!
I baked mine at 300 degrees for 20 minutes,
stirring them around half way through. They
were so, so delish!! I could have only
eaten croutons and been perfectly happy.
J I will try to remember this when we have some
bread that is a little older before I just throw it out. These were so, so yummy! And the dinner was also amazing (I only made
a half recipe). I forgot to take a
picture before we ate, but you can see what it looked like after. I’d call that a success.
Thursday: Cheeseburger Quesadillas with Sweet Potato
Fries & Fruit
Cheeseburger
Quesadillas
This is basically a cute name for a quesadilla made with
ground beef and cheddar cheese. Ha! I bought some half corn, half flour tortillas
that our family really enjoys and then just made some ground beef. I seasoned the beef with salt, pepper, garlic
powder, minced onion, and a little season salt, and that’s all! I only used half the ground beef for this
meal, and I saved the other half for Friday’s meal. I served our quesadillas with sweet potato
fries (store-bought this time around) and fruit, and everyone made a happy
plate! I should have taken a picture of
the kids’ plates, as each one likes to have a different dipping condiment.
Friday: Pizza & Movie Night!
We were all really excited to be home and have our family
pizza and movie night again. I bought
some yummy, preservative free pizza crusts from Sprouts (good for a day when I
didn’t have time to make my own), and we topped them with all of our
favorites. For the kids, pizza sauce, pepperoni,
ground beef (the other half I prepared the night before), and mozzarella cheese.
For the adults, pizza sauce, pesto, pepperoni,
ground beef, fresh tomatoes, fresh spinach, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese.
My mom came over also, and between the six of
us, we finished off almost every bite! J
Saturday: Grilled Sausage, Caesar Salad, Fruit,
& Chips
This meal needs no explanation. We had some family over, and this menu made
everyone happy!
