It's been a long while, but I thought I would post my menu plan here today. We have busy schedules right now with the kids doing football, soccer and basketball. But I always try to have homemade meals ready - either to eat around the table, or take with us. I make exceptions on early football game nights - it's much easier (and the kids love it!) to grab pizza and eat it in the stadium on those nights.
Monday -
Chicken Stuffing Bake - I picked up some inexpensive pre-seasoned chicken drumsticks the other day, so those will go in the crockpot for the day while I am subbing at the kids' middle school. Then when I get home at 3:30 I will take the meat off the bones and put the casserole together. Yummy and easy!
Tuesday -
Take-out Pizza - my oldest has his last 7th grade football game of the season at 4 pm, so we will enjoy hot pizza sitting in the stands watching him play. Go Spikes!
Wednesday -
Grilled Pork Chops with homemade chunky applesauce and
Crockpot Mac-n-Cheese - with BSF leader training in the morning and errands to run in the afternoon, I need something easy today.
Thursday -
Crockpot Roast with Vegetables - this sounded so good when I read it from
Organizing Junkie that I decided to add it to my plan for the week. This will be great since we will be eating in shifts today - soccer, basketball, homework and bible study for the evening.
Friday -
Chicken Parmesan with Garlic Bread and Salad - one last football game tonight, this time the high school team, but since the game doesn't start until 7 pm, we will eat at home first. There are usually no leftovers when I serve this meal!
Saturday -
Waffles or Pancakes with Bacon - the whole family likes a big breakfast for dinner, and I usually make enough to have leftovers for the school week for the kids. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone!
Sunday -
Family Birthday Dinner at my sister's house. We will be celebrating both my husband's birthday and my mom's birthday this month, and since my sister just moved into a new house, she wanted to host it there. So I may have to bring something simple, but the meal is on her! Woo Hoo!
