In an effort to eliminate some of the craziness around here, and also the eating-out bill, I have been making a real effort to planning out our evening meal a week at a time. I am not going to lie, there are times when this little plan of mine works out better than others, but for the most part it has been great. Part of my planning includes not only picking what we will eat, but making the grocery list, and trying something new. A new dish, a new side, a whole new meal. Safe to say, that has also not always been a hit. For the most part, I truly believe that my six year old is really half Mexican. That boy is happiest consuming tacos, enchiladas, anything with a Mexican flair. And truly for any meal. Bless his heart. Meanwhile, the three year old is game for anything, including salad. At which she will point and ask if it has "cawats" in it , because she has learned just how sick they make her.
So here is last weeks meal plan, if you are interested:
Monday
Pork Roast with red potatoes and asparagus
Tuesday
Chicken Manicotti Ole with salad
Wednesday
Ham and Noodle Casserole
Thursday
Corned beef and Cabbage with Red Potatoes
Friday
Ramen Skillet Supper
And really we have hit 4 out of 5 days. I am pretty impressed and the reason that we skipped out on Tuesday was Greg's parents wanted to take us out to dinner. Who am I to argue with that? But since I had already gotten the ground turkey out for Tuesday, I am moving the Ramen Skillet Supper, to next week and the Chicken (turkey) manicotti from Tuesday to Friday. See, I really am flexible.
I will post the recipes for the Ham and Noodle Casserole and the Chicken Manicotti Ole as soon as I can. And there is a bonus with the Ham Casserole, it makes 2 8x8 pans, so you can freeze one for later, if you do not have a huge family.....or send one home with your brother when he picks up his twins, which is what I usually do.
