I have a very abbreviated menu plan this week. The kids are going to stay at Camp Grandma's in South Dakota for FIVE NIGHTS so this will be a quiet household for a while. (The longest I’ve ever been away from my kiddos is TWO nights so this will be something else!) I'm sure I'll be completely missing my babies after 24 hours but I’m totally looking forward to it! I firmly believe that a SAHM needs the opportunity to miss her kids. I feel a little guilty about that, but I know it's good for both me AND the kiddos. Oh, the plans I have...
So, back to menu planning. I only have a few nights of meal prep for my family this week. It is supposed to be very hot and humid this week so I’m trying not to run my oven at all, either. Thank You Mr. CrockPot!
Here's my plan for the (very short) week:
Breakfasts:
Cereal and Toast
Waffles and bananas
Honey Crunch Granola with vanilla yogurt
Lunches:
Poor Man's Pizza, green beans, apples
Spaghetti, carrot sticks, oranges
Pancakes (from the freezer) with peanut butter, bananas
Suppers:
Sunday: “Clean out the fridge” night: homemade chicken noodle soup (made with leftover chicken and broth I have in the fridge), taco quesadillas (made with leftover taco meat from last week's Taco Potatoes), and leftover Leann Chinn takeout from Saturday
Monday: CrockPot Angel Chicken, frozen mixed vegetables
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: Crockpot Garden Minestrone, grilled ham and cheese sandwiches
Thursday through Sunday: I'm on vacation and no "real" cooking planned! I'm envisioning a lot of cold cereal in my future...

The crockpot angel chicken looks great!
ReplyDeleteWe do taco potatoes at our house too! I call them "Baked Potatoes Ole!" :)
