Meal Plan Monday

Woo hoo!  It’s a great week ahead!  So much fun planned including a Rodeo!  We are going to go to the Rodeo in Dahlonega at the R-Ranch. That’s one of my favorite places to visit!  Hopefully the weather holds out!  The week ahead, we plan to use our grill more than ever.  In our new house, the kitchen stays warm and gets uncomfortably hot when we turn on the oven.  Keeping this in mind, we will be grilling more and using our crockpot and Instant Pot.  Hopefully we can get the heat issue fixed at some point.

Here’s what we are making this week.

Monday: Chicken Fajita Casserole, Salad

Tuesday: Tacos

Wednesday: Burgers, grilled zucchini, salad

Thursday: Grilled chicken, green beans, sweet potatoes

Friday: BBQ sandwiches, chips, beans

Saturday: Burgers, grilled corn, salad

Sunday: Dinner out

It’s Monday again!  The hubs and I were able to sneak away for 2 days without kids, so that was a blast.  Big kudos to Grandma for taking on the feat of watching our 5 children.  She rocks.  The week ahead, we are getting ready for birthday parties that we are attending this weekend and some family and friend time.  We will be spending lots of time at the pool, for sure.

I’ve finished the other books that I’ve been reading and have now added 2 more that I’m going through with friends.  Both are Christian books.  One is called  You are Free and the other is Side by Side.  Both have been very thought provoking so far.

On to the weekly meals.  Still trying to eat according to Trim Healthy Mama, although I’m far from perfect.  That’s what is great about this plan.  There is grace.

Monday: Steak, salad, zucchini

Tuesday: Black bean burritos

Wednesday: Salsa Chicken and brown rice

Thursday: Taco Pie, salad

Friday: Brats, okra, salad

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Picnic with friends

Pretty good weekend here.  Nothing exciting, but I did get all the bathrooms cleaned, so that is a plus!  We got the kids a trampoline and they have been outside jumping pretty much non-stop.  That makes for some easy bedtimes!  I’ve been doing pretty good back on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.  I feel better, even if nothing else.  It’s amazing how much better you feel when you’re eating right.

Here’s what is on the meal plan this week:

Monday: Steak, salad, okra

Tuesday: Pizza

Wednesday: Tacos

Thursday: Grilled chicken, sweet potatoes

Friday: Dinner Out

Saturday: Smoked chicken, steamed broccoli, salad

Sunday: Low Country Boil at church

My Mother’s Day photo – photobombed by someone’s camper!

Summer is upon us!  We are finishing up our homeschool work and likely will be for the next few weeks, but we are so excited to have most of our activities done for the year.  It was nice not having to run kids to gymnastics and youth group and such.  I’m really going to have to think about more downtime next school year!

I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day.  We had a nice time and headed up to the mountains to our favorite getaway.  We spent a night in our camper, enjoyed horse riding and swimming.

I’ve not been sticking to the Trim Healthy Mama plan lately.  With end of the year chaos and such it was just a matter of survival.  Now I’m jumping back on plan this week with a few of our favorite meals.

Monday: Chicken Fajita Casserole, Salad

Tuesday: Omelettes, bacon, biscuits

Wednesday: Brats, green beans

Thursday: Grilled Chicken Salad

Friday: Salsa chicken, brown rice

Saturday: Beef Enchiladas, salad

Sunday: Potluck with friends

Yummy!

Holy smokes, this weekend was insane!  I think I went nonstop from Friday until Sunday night!  I had a mother/daughter day with church friends and my 2 little girls, all of the kids had their end of the year homeschool family night show, and a gymnastics show among other things!  So glad that homeschool co-op stuff is almost over so things will slow down a bit.  I don’t know how public school parents can keep up with things!

Monday: Burgers, zucchini, macaroni and cheese

Tuesday: Cajun cream chicken, salad

Wednesday: Black bean burritos

Thursday: Taco pie, salad

Friday: Grilled Chicken Salad

Saturday: Leftovers

It’s Monday again!  Where did that weekend go?  We are wrapping up end of the year stuff!  After this week, most of our kids’ activities will be completed until fall.  This past week, I had the privilege of watching my new nephew be born!  There are now 10 cousins on that side of the family now.  I have 5 and my brother now has 5!  Boys are winning, 6 to 4 🙂

I’ve fallen off the Trim Healthy Mama planTrim Healthy Mama plan so I’m going to work hard to get back on track this week.  Sometimes life happens and you have to just roll with it!  That’s why this plan is such a great one!

Monday: Skillet kielbasa and brussels with mustard butter sauce

Tuesday: Leftovers

Wednesday: Pizza

I don’t know where the weekend went!  It was pretty good in that the kids had a ton of activities and I was able to get some down time to refresh and plan for the week ahead.  I also had time to read.  I’m currently reading a book called Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst.  If you haven’t heard of it, this is a life-changer book.  Definitely recommended for anyone going through a time where you just aren’t quite feeling loved.  Even if you do, this book can help you understand your role with God.  The line behind the book is simply, Live Loved.

This week we are winding down some of our through-the-year activities and trying to get everything in gear to end the school year right.  I’m working up a storm to try and finish my paperwork and get things ordered for next year.  Never ending task around here!  Here’s what I plan to make this week:

Monday: Meatball Parm Casserole, salad

Tuesday: Trim Mac Salad

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Nachos for kids, nacho salad for adults

Friday: Oven baked whole chicken, sweet potatoes, steamed carrots

Saturday: Skillet kielbasa and brussels with mustard butter sauce

Sunday: Lasagna, salad

Great weekend here.  We had a spend the night and a first dance.  Lots of fun and were able to enjoy this lovely weather.  The toddler is up to his wild shenanigans and seriously keeps me on my toes!
