September 6-12, 2015

  ** There will be no weekly menu next week or the next as we have some out of town adventures planned.  A new menu should be posted on October 4^th!   J

Sunday:  Make Our Own Pizza Night

  Chad was gone on a hunting trip, so the kids and I made our own pizzas on whole wheat sandwich thins and had a bonus movie night since Monday was a holiday.

Monday:  Breakfast for Dinner

  One more no-Daddy night as he was at his fantasy football draft, so the kids and I had breakfast burritos with eggs, sausage, and cheese and a side of fruit.

Tuesday:  Callen’s Birthday Dinner!!!

  We always let our kids choose what they want to eat on their birthdays, and for his 5^th birthday, Callen chose Papa Murphy’s Pizza!  Easy for me…tasty for everyone!

Wednesday:  Dinner at Mom’s

Thursday:  Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Fresh Fruit & Veggies

  Chad out of town + Ranger’s baseball practice at 4:30 + Callen’s soccer practice at 6:30 = Kid Friendly Dinner of grilled cheese  J

Friday:  Grilled Turkey Dogs & Chicken Sausage, Mac-n-Cheese, & Roasted Green Beans

  Chad grilled turkey dogs and chicken sausage while I made roasted green beans and mac-n-cheese for sides.  I used a tip from my sister-in-law and used plain Greek yogurt in the place of milk in the mac-n-cheese.  It’s delish!  It’s also thicker, so it’s less messy for kids…win/win!  This is a perfect Family Movie Night meal!

Saturday:  Grilled Venison Kabobs with Roasted Zucchini & Carrots & Leftover Mac-n-Cheese

  It was an absolutely gorgeous evening…perfect for dinner al fresco!!  Chad added large cherry tomatoes and thick-sliced zucchini to the kabobs, but I also roasted some smaller, diced zucchini with baby carrots inside because the kids prefer the smaller veggies.

*I’ll have a new menu in a couple of weeks!!
