July 19 - 28

Before I forget, I'll start with reviews. The five-spice burgers were a huge hit all around. I couldn't believe the kids actually ate them up! Of course, they didn't eat the mushroom/cabbage topping, but still I was surprised. The Salsa Verde Steak Burritos were also a big hit and we now have plenty of left-overs. It'll be turned into enchiladas this week :) I didn't get around to the veggie pie as I realized my yogurt was expired when I went to make it - oops. I may try it another time, but for now I'm just going to use the veggies in other things this week (if they're still good!). I also haven't tried the lemon ice cream yet, but I'm hoping to tomorrow!

This menu should get us through the next week and a half with leftovers and probably a meal out sometime.

Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup

Slow Cooker Orange Chicken with Rice and Veggies

Chicken Fried Rice

Lasagna with Salad and Bread

Tofu Stir Fry

Beef Enchiladas with Rice and Beans

Chili Lime Cobb Salad

Sandwiches with Fruit and Chips (water park night!)

Holdin' On

Well, last week's menu is still going strong thanks to leftovers, our sweet neighbors who made us dinner one night and an impromtu evening out while my parents were here! We also have been invited to a friend's house this Friday and already had dinner plans for Saturday. I had Keenan run to the store for some essentials and a frozen pizza to have on hand just in case. Otherwise, we're good to go! This 2 week menu thing may not be so bad :)
