I’ve been doing Meal Plan Mondays for years now and it seems like each week is going by faster and faster!  This week, my husband wants to pull out the smoker, so he’s going to do that on Tuesday, his day off.  I’m always excited when he wants to smoke something!  YUMMY!  Hope everyone is staying healthy out there!  Sounds like a lot of things are gong around.

I can’t believe there is one week until Christmas!  We are more than ready! This week will be filled with cookie making and decorating, cousins, family, friends, and more!  I’ve had a couple requests for Crack Cookies and Peanut Butter Balls so those are on the list.

Hope you have a great week!

We had a blast last week when we visited Callaway Gardens for  “Grandma Kidnapping”.  My brother and I and our families tell Grandma to have a bag packed on a certain day and she doesn’t know where she is going.  This way we can visit some places and create some Christmas memories.  Here’s what we plan to make this week:

Monday: Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli

Tuesday: Egg Casserole

Wednesday: Chili

Thursday: Chicken n Dumplins

Friday: Chicken Quesadillas, Salad

Saturday: Burgers, zucchini

Sunday: Spaghetti and Meatballs

What are you making this week?

 

My husband started his new position at work yesterday so hopefully we will soon settle into a new normal around here.  So proud of him making Sergeant!  The week ahead, we are taking a quick road trip and then homeschooling the rest of the week.  Hope you all have a great one!  Be sure to start watching Amazon for some great Lightning Deals in the days to come.  A few things didn’t end up happening last week on our meal plan, so you’ll see a couple repeats.

Monday: Dinner out

Tuesday: Eggs, sausage, biscuits

Wednesday: Chicken Fajita Casserole, green beans, salad

Thursday: Salsa Chicken, brown rice

Friday: Meatball Parmesan Casserole, okra fritters

Saturday: Steak, salad, broccoli

Sunday: Chicken & Brown Rice Soup

Have a great week!

 

I think I’m still recovering from Thanksgiving.  Our leftovers are dwindling and it’s time to start cooking again, after today.  One last round of leftovers or create your own dinner tonight and then back to healthier eating.  We went up to the mountains this weekend for some horse time and fresh air.

My husband has a few extra days off before he officially starts his new position as Sergeant, so we will be enjoying some more family time late this week.  Ready to establish our new normal with his new position.  Here’s what I’m making this week:

Monday: Create your own dinner or leftovers

Tuesday: Crockpot Unstuffed Pepper Medley

Wednesday: Pot roast, veggies, salad

Thursday: Salsa chicken, brown rice, steamed veggies

Friday: Steak, broccoli, salad

Saturday: Fajita Chicken Casserole

Sunday: Taco Pie, salad

Have you tried any great new recipes this week?  I’d love to hear about them.

 

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!  I don’t know about yall but I need a weekend from the weekend!  So much fun as my sister-in-law is in town with her new baby.

Also, we are celebrating my husband becoming a Sergeant with the Sheriff’s Office today.  I am so proud of him and we are eager to celebrate with friends.  Here’s what is on the menu at our house this week:

Monday: Chicken, shrimp, coleslaw, sides

Tuesday: Dinner Out

Wednesday: Eggs, sausage

Thursday: THANKSGIVING!

Friday: Burgers, broccoli

Saturday: Grilled chicken tenders, grilled veggies

Sunday: Potluck with friends

Hope you have a great week!

 

This week ended up being a little wonky and busy and didn’t stick to my meal plan much.  Plus with Halloween, it was loaded with fun events!

It feels much too warm for November and I’m so ready to make some hot soups and such again!  Looks like on Wednesday it should start cooling down again.

Sundays are our community group days so I try to make things that are crowd pleasers.  Sundays have become my favorite day!  Get to worship in church and get to hang out with dear friends.

Monday: Black Bean Burritos

Tuesday: Chicken Fajita Casserole, salad

Wednesday: Meatloaf, lima beans, salad, rolls

Thursday: Chicken and brown rice soup

Friday: Dinner Out

Saturday: Leftovers or make your own dinner

Sunday: Chili

Check out the pumpkins above that our realtor brought by for the kids!  Wasn’t that sweet?  This is our first halloween in our new house and I love decorating it for fall.  The pumpkins have the perfect touch!

This weekend, we had a great weekend!  We had an extra kid over the weekend and had a blast!  Such a sweet time with a dear little one.  Quite fun having 6 kids in the house! I just love having a house full.

Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Cajun Cream Chicken, salad

Tuesday: BBQ pork, green beans

Wednesday: Dinner Out

Thursday: Spaghetti w/meatballs and salad

Friday: Pot Roast, salad

Saturday: Chicken Fajita Casserole

Sunday: Breakfast for dinner

It’s Monday again and I’m so glad.  My husband has worked the past 7 days and FINALLY has a day off.  It’s exhausting when he works long stretches!

For the “Make Your Own Dinner” on Thursday, it’s as simple as it sounds.  You can heat up leftovers, make a grilled cheese, have a bowl of cereal, heat up a frozen pizza, fry an egg, or whatever.  The kids love having a day when they can make whatever they want (within reason, of course) for dinner.

Hope you all have a fantastic week!  I love this time of year – just wishing it were a little bit cooler!

Monday: Steak and veggies

Tuesday: Catfish or chicken and veggies (I hate fish – hubby loves it)

Wednesday: Black Beans and Rice

Thursday: Make your own dinner

Friday: Burgers and veggies

Saturday: Fettucini alfredo with chicken and broccoli

Sunday: BBQ pork, chips, beans, salad

Well, our weekend started out great.  We went to the mountains with some dear friends, then church Sunday and community group.  After community group, my husband, one of our daughters, and a friend were going to pick up another daughter from youth group and were hit by a likely drunk driver.  They are all ok, but it scared us all for sure.  Unfortunately, the driver ran off the road a few more times and then drove off and they were unable to get a tag, but got a decent car description.  My husband will be out looking for that car, I’m sure.

I’m just so thankful everyone was ok and no one was badly injured or killed.  My husband is on a mission to find the person that did the hit and run.  Hopefully we will.

Now that I can breathe again a little, here’s what is on the menu:

Monday: Creamy Cajun Chicken from the THM Cookbook, broccoli

Tuesday: Leftovers

Wednesday: Taco Pie, salad

Thursday: Quinoa and veggies

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner

Sunday: Poppyseed Chicken Casserole, salad, green beans

What are you having this week?
