Sunday: Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken with Roasted Green
Beans & Sweet Potatoes
I found this wonderful recipe for grilled
chicken from Living Well
Spending Less. It is so, SO simple
to put together, and has so much flavor!
Our chicken was super moist (I used boneless, skinless thighs, but you could certainly use chicken breasts if you prefer). I
served ours with roasted Parmesan green beans and roasted, diced sweet
potatoes. This would be an excellent
recipe to make more of and freeze as she suggests. We saved some of the leftover cooked chicken
for salads the next day, then froze the rest in a Food Saver bag. It will be a delicious addition to a pasta or
Mexican food dish in the near future, without me having to cook more
chicken! J
Here’s a pic of our next day
salads…
Monday: Dinner at My Mom’s House
My Nima was in town all week (hooray!), so we
went over to have dinner with her and my mom.
Tuesday: One Pot Spaghetti with Roasted Broccoli, Brown Sugar
Carrots, and Garlic Bread
My mom and Nima were at our house for dinner
on this night, and a pasta dish sounded really yummy. I haven’t made this spaghetti in a while, but
it is absolutely wonderful! Really, it’s
so good, and cooking it all in one pot together also makes it super
simple. Cooking the spaghetti in the
pasta sauce and chicken broth leaves the pasta so flavorful, and the sauce
really sticks to the noodles instead of sliding off and being runny. It’s also an amazing leftover meal! This recipe made more than enough for 4
adults and my 3 kids (who don’t eat a ton),
and Chad and I had leftovers for lunch the next day, and I had it again another
day.
Wednesday: Thai Food Take-Out and Netflix Date Night with My Guy
The kids stayed the night with Chad’s sister’s
family, so we had a stay-in date night on our couch. It was perfect!
Thursday: Crispy Tilapia, Fish Sticks, Roasted Brussels
Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes, and Toast
Ranger and Chad had their first baseball
practice for this upcoming fall season, so I made a quick dinner using Costco’s
crispy frozen tilapia (for us) and fish sticks (for the kids). I added in some fresh, roasted veggies and
buttered toast, and everyone was happy. J
Friday: Grilled Venison Steak Medalions with Roasted
Zucchini, Butternut Squash, and Potatoes
This was family movie night, but Chad wanted
to grill. I am certainly not going to
argue with that! He made some scrumptios
venison steak medalions outside and I grilled some diced veggies inside. Our whole dinner was ready in 20 minutes!
Saturday: Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Wraps with Fruit
Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Wraps
I bought some wonderful tortillas at Costco
that have only 4 natural ingredients; they stay in the fridge and you cook them
on a skillet as you need them. They are
such a find!!
So, having meals wrapped
in tortillas makes for an easy dinner. I
made bacon and scrambled eggs and shredded some cheese.
Then, after I prepped my tortillas, I wrapped
everything up tightly and warmed them all together on my skillet. It sealed the tortilla and kept all the yummy
ingredients inside!
It was perfect for
kids. Ranger asked if he could be the photographer
for this meal prep. Ha!
