Back to school menus?

northhillsbride

Time for structure for me now that the kids are back in school and we're starting to find a rhythm here. So, what's on everyone's menus (past week or even future week!)?

Saturday: ground beef enchilada casserole (will never do that recipe again!), side salad

Sunday: grilled chicken kabobs (marinated in a hawaiian tangy sauce) and mashed potatoes

Monday: Chinese

Tuesday: leftovers

Wednesday: Hellmann's panko chicken, veggies

Thursday: chicken enchilada bake

Friday: hopefully leftovers

Saturday: we're supposed to take a drive down to Galveston for a beach day and other touristy things!

we're still in hot mess mode.  What I actually mean by that is that we haven't been OUT of hot mess mode in at least 2 months.  Summer is hard as far as cooking goes!!  Here's what we have this week:

Sun: burgers on the grill
Mon: tacos
Tues: rotisserie chicken, cheesy potatoes, peas (I was off yesterday, see the difference in the meal?)
Wed: pasta
Thur: chicken noodle soup
Fri: ?? we need to get Jake a new pair of sneakers, so I'm thinking we might end up grabbing something to eat at the mall
Sat: Bday party, so I don't have to cook, woohoo!

Emmy - I feel your "hot mess" pain. When DH left back in June to start his new job here in TX, I went into survival mode (that may have included ice cream dinner once). Then the move - living in a hotel for a week (we saw some microwaved chicken nuggets and mac & cheese that week!), settling in and restocking the pantry... it's been rough.

I'm extremely lucky that I can work remote and I want to make sure that my breaks go towards prepping decent meals! Hang in there, Mom. You're doing great!

I'm struggling with meals lately! Although lunches have gone better than I expected!

Sun: had a bday party with pizza but was early for dinner. Had hot dogs at home

Monday: hot ham/provolone/roasted tomato paninis and garlic herb rice

Tuesday: salsa chicken

Wednesday: quesadillas using leftover chicken

Thursday: was going to be meatball subs but forgot the meatballs! Probably will do baked ziti

Friday: probably order out or go somewhere

Saturday: invited to a BBQ so may do that or homemade pizza

Friday- Creamy Chicken Enchildas OMG, they were delicious! I did slightly adj. because I used a rotisserie chicken and Colby Monterey Jack Cheese blend. Next time I would add another can of Rotel just for more tomatoes.

Saturday-pizza at Anthony's Coal Fire with my parents. Cheesesteak pizza is divine.

Sunday-hamburgers, corn on the cob and loaded baked potato salad

Monday-Grilled pork chops and leftover potato salad

Tuesday-Grilled chicken breast and grilled eggplant

Wednesday- I am going out, Nathan is on his own

Thursday - Spaghetti and meat sauce

Friday-Ukranian Food Festival

Saturday-I am working so we will probably grab something out

Sunday-Pulled Pork or French Dip Sandwiches, I haven't decided yet

Monday-Burgers, hot dogs, asian coleslaw

Since it hasn’t been ridiculously hot this summer, I have mostly stayed on track. Although some busy weekends have made it hard to manage a grocery trip on Sunday and in some cases the busy schedule has led to more eating out than usual. Ahem. ;-)

Friday: Sauteed veggies with quinoa, chicken fingers, kiwi & blueberries

Saturday: Pizza at Kennywood

Sunday: Panera

Monday: Dinner at Heather’s favorite restaurant to celebrate the first day of school

Tuesday: Family ate chips/hot dogs at H’s school event and then snacked after on cheese/fruit

Wednesday: Quesadilla, Rice, Sauteed veggies, peaches

Thursday: Steak, Corn on the Cob, Noodles, Smoothies

Friday: Fish sticks, cous cous with peas, sweet potato fries, raspberries

Sunday: Hellman's panko chicken, rice, cauliflower

Monday: L/o Sunday

Tuesday: Baked pork chops, rice, brussels sprouts

Wednesday: Ground beef skillet (ground beef, onion, salsa, Spanish rice, cheese) on tortillas 

Thursday: Spinach ravioli

Friday: Frozen pizza

Saturday: No idea

I really have to buckle down and start prepping/cooking in advance and making more use of the crockpot.  It's just me and G on weeknights. I thought trying to cook dinner with a baby was hard. I had no idea how difficult it would be with a toddler, sigh.

I found a really good crock pot sloppy joe recipe if anyone is interested.  It reheats really well too.  I normally get 2 meals out of it.
