Weekly Menu: Week 3 (Sept. 8 to Sept 14)

Just a little recap on last week. We didn't really stick with our meal plan, but we hardly ate out!  Monday we hit up Firehouse because they were doing to BOGO offer for Labor Day, and how often do those come into play?!? Tuesday we had pecan chicken strips, after K's softball game where he caught an awesome fly ball and our team won 20 to 4! Yay life group! Wednesday I made enchilada bake, we'll technically Tuesday, because on Tuesday I agreed to work the next 5 days straight! :-) oops!  Thursday we had breakfast. Friday we had a potluck with our life group at a friends house and I made chocolate chip cookies and strawberry angel food truffle.  Finally Saturday got here, I had worked 4 days straight, for a total of 43 hours that week, would have been 48, but they let me go home early a few days, so we went to Olive Garden. So we didn't stick to the menu on the days, but we did eat in!  Some weeks just happen like that!  So now onto this week!

Sunday: Pizza

Today this was a welcome routine. We ate, then went to visit our friends who just had a baby, and that was the perfect end to a super long week!

Monday: Pizza Casserole

This is probably one of my favorite fast easy make meals, 2 pot dirty type meals.  It's basically hamburger meat, a jar of ragu pizza sauce, a package of egg noodles, mini pepperonis, a jar of Cambells cheddar cheese soup. Start by browning hamburger meat. Boil noodles.  When noodles get done, drain them, add pizza sauce, soup, pepperoni, and meat to the pot. Layer in casserole dish and top with Motz cheese. Bake at 350 for around 30ish min till cheese is bubbling. And enjoy!

Tuesday: Chicken Salad

I told y'all it was on our menu a lot! K has a double header with softball, and it starts at 6 and we probably won't get home till 830 or so, so I want something quick and isn't so heavy since we are eating so late. Still trying to decide if we are marinating it in teriyaki (for Wednesday meal, just easier to make ahead) or Lawrys.

Wenesday: Chicken Fried Rice and Egg Rolls

I've been searching Pinterest a lot and came across a fried rice recipe. I made it one time at the beginning of August and fell in love with it. People that know me, know I don't really like Chinese foobut I can eat me some chicken fried rice!  Here is this recipe. And it's 'low' in WW points! :-) I didn't use the sesame oil, that stuff is like 8 dollars a bottle, no thanks!

Thursday: Salsa Chicken, Mixed Veggies, and Rolls

Everyone knows how to make salsa chicken, I think. 3 things of chicken breasts (remember I'm only feeding 2, add more if you have more members) pour a jar of salsa over top, and throw it in the oven for 35 min. When that timer goes off add cheese, and put in till cheese is nice and bubbly.

Friday: Tacos, Mexican Rice, and Queso

I did find my own recipe for taco seasoning and this will be my first time trying it! Yay! Love that I can use the spices that I have in my spice rack and make my own seasonings.  We shall see if there is a difference and if there isn't ill post that also.

Saturday: BBQ Meatballs

I'm telling you, we are still eating on those meatballs I made about a month ago! I'm loving it! Here is the recipe finally! It's from Pioneer Woman (I'm really getting addicted to all her recipes and think I want her cookbooks! :-) I didn't like browning them on the stove top, I think next time ill just put them in the oven for like 10 or 15 minutes, maybe. So go, try them, freeze some, and enjoy the goodness!
