Sunday: Leftovers
We had 1.5 sick
kids, so it was basically leftover day to clean out the fridge and also because
we were just trying to feed everyone what they would actually eat. J
Monday: Ground Turkey & Veggie Tacos (Meredith’s
Tacos!)
Such an easy dinner that can have as many veggies as you’d
like and also use any ground meat you have on hand!
- Ground
Chicken (1-2 pounds depending on how many people you are serving or
whether or not you want leftovers)
- Finely chopped/diced veggies of your
choice (I used 1 zucchini, 3 big carrots, & 2-3 big handfuls of
spinach. I use my mini food processor to chop everything really small.)
- 1 Can Rotel or Petite Diced Tomatoes,
drained
- Taco Seasoning (I use a homemade
recipe from One Good Thing by Jillee)
- Olive Oil
- Minced Garlic
Heat olive oil in a large pan, then add garlic and cook it
just a minute or two. Then add your veggies and cook until they start to
soften…about 10 minutes. Yum!! Look at all those colors!!
Pour the veggies in another bowl and set aside. Using
the same pan, cook the chicken with olive oil until no longer pink. Drain
chicken if necessary. Add back in your cooked, diced veggies, Rotel, & taco
seasoning. Mix it all together until everything is heated
through.
Season with salt or garlic salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with tortillas or chips of your choice. We used corn and flour
tortillas and topped them with some shredded cheese and sour cream. I
always make quesadillas for the kids so it’s not such a mess.
This ground chicken is delicious and healthy and very easy
to freeze and have on hand for other meals. I always make more than we
need because it’s such a good leftover and great to freeze.
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Creamy Herb
Sauce, Brown Rice, & Roasted Broccoli
I had some pork
chops in the freezer that I needed to use, and I also had all of the other
ingredients for this recipe from Slow
Cooker Gourmet on hand. I love it
when that happens! These are very easy,
and also some of the most tender pork chops we’ve ever had! Ranger asked if it was chicken, and the way
the pork chops flaked away easily with a fork, Chad thought it was fish! This pork was also great as leftovers for me
for a few days with a salad for lunch.
Wednesday: Beef Burger Sliders, Roasted New Potatoes,
& Green Beans
So random, but we
stayed home on Wednesday night because of kids just not being completely well,
and Chad was home (but was about to leave and be gone through the weekend), so
I had him grill burgers while I roasted veggies inside. The kids were THRILLED with Daddy’s burgers
on a Wednesday night!
Thursday: Dinner at Nonnie’s
Friday: Dinner with Friends
All of the hubbies
were out of town, so all the moms gathered together and let the kids eat and
watch a movie while we talked. What a
fun night!
Saturday: Dinner with Friends
Again…no hubbies,
but lots of baseball! So, several of us
took the kids to Braums for burgers and ice cream. J
