Sept 1 - 6

Sorry for the long delay. I had a few roll-overs since getting back from our trip and am hoping to make it to the store tomorrow. I'm also trying to figure out my grocery/menu schedule now that school is starting! Right now I think Tuesdays will be the day.

Here's what I have to get us until then:

BBQ Turkey Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes

Quinoa Burgers

Smothered Bean Burritos

Eggs and Potatoes

Shake 'n Bake Chicken Nuggets with French Fries

Sauteed Talapia with Rice and Veggies

Aug 15 - 24

Review time! I absolutely loved the mini taco cups. I'm sure most of it is due to my love of Mexican food and even more so my love of condiments, but still - they were great and fun! (I'll put the recipe in a seperate post.) See?

Next up, the Pinwheels with Roasted Veggie Sauce. Another hit! The flavor was amazing and it was almost like a cream sauce without actual cream. I'm going to have to save this recipe for when it cools off, though. Roasting veggies at 400 degrees for 40 minutes is not the best idea in 105+ weather!

And last, but certainly not least, the Zuccini and Ricotta Gallete. Oh. My. Goodness. The crust was so buttery and flaky and the ricotta/cheese filling was rich and creamy. I'm sure it's not the best for you so it's definitely a treat. Not to mention all the prep time that goes into it. So worth it though. I plan to try a tomato/basil version next time. Yum!

I have 10 meals planned for the next week and a half. We're off on another adventure and I'm hoping to only make one quick trip to the store for basics after today. Keenan's out of town 3 nights this week and I'm still battling morning sickness so most of these are quick and easy.

I think I managed quite well with my "meals on the fly" week. I made one trip to Aldi and loaded up on whatever cought my eye that reminded me of something I've made before. Last week I made a short menu, but didn't get around to posting it. I'm going to do a separate post on our meal last night - it came out wonderfully!

Without anymore delay, here's my back-in-the-swing-of-things menu. Next week I'm going to attempt a 2 week menu to cut down on grocery trips.
