The week of September 22nd

Some weeks run fairly smooth, but this week with my husband out of town and a bus pick up at dinner time I just barely got the kids fed and took no pictures. It is during these busy or harder to find the time I am grateful that I have planned something so I can focus on my own work and making sure the kids have what they need and a good meal.

Monday - mashed potatoes and ikea meatballs with gravy. It worked out well for me to make it a bit early and then keep it warm in the crockpot- worked really well.

Tuesday- Pasta with meat sauce.

Wednesday - After a late afternoon soccer game, we stopped at Cava for dinner.

Thursday- Caro Chambers curry broth with ramen noodles and dumplings- perfect rainy night meal. I did try to cook this in the crockpot and it was a bit of a fail- the dumplings got kinda gross, so i just served the broth and the noodles.

Friday- Bare chicken strips, caesar salad, and green beans.

Saturday- Grilled steak tips and chicken with a grilled version of Ina’s orzo salad.

Sunday- take out from Wood and Fire , delicious pizza and really delicious everything.
