As long as the game isn't rained out tonight, it's our final baseball game of the season...which means I'm fresh out of excuses for not cooking real dinners anymore.
:-O Hoping for some inspiration for some easy summer meals! Here's what I have for this week:
Tonight: McDonalds (shhh....don't judge, we're super rushed, I don't even have time to take the kids home, we're going straight from daycare/summer camp to the field)
Tues: baked ziti (already made, go me)
Wed: heading out with some friends, Brian and the boys will probably eat the leftover ziti
Thur: chicken, some type of veggie and side
Fri: tacos
Saturday: going to a party at a friend's house, don't have to cook, woohoo!!
Re: Menus?

Tuesday: fish, rice, and veggies

Friday: bbq chicken in the crockpot

I have no plan this week
DH was OOT yesterday. I bought a pack of break and bake chocolate chip cookies for dinner. A few didn't make it into the oven
Then the ones that did get baked I decided to experiment with the nutella I bought the other week. Warm chocolate chip nutella sandwich cookies....OMG.
Good thing DH was only OOT for one night
Absolute crap - fly by the seat of our pants week of food, I tell you! Between moving, unpacking, needing to pack for our weekend away tomorrow, the allure of the pool (by the boys - and someone has to watch them obviously!), cleaning out the rental house still, working full time, etc. etc. - I just haven't had the energy or time to make something decent.
However, tonight, we are having pork chops of some sort since they are in the fridge!
My three sons!
