Aug 2 - 8

Our 2 week menu worked out great. I really enjoyed only 1 major grocery trip during that time. Towards the end we wound up ordering pizza and having a dinner out that gave me some roll-overs for this week. I don't have the energy right now to make a 2 week menu let alone shop for one. I picked some easy menu items to get us to Sunday when hopefully I'll be up for shopping again.

Slow-cooker Orange Chicken with Rice and Veggies

Chicken Fried Rice

Spaghetti

Bean burritos

Zuccini and Ricotta Gallete

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!)

Feb 22 - 28

I tried to make this week's menu an easy one as I'll be on my own for most of it. For some reason, Keira gets super-clingy when she knows I'm trying to cook dinner and then I have my little chef trying to help me at the same time. When Keenan's home he's able to distract one or both of them so this will be a challenge without his help. I'm sure I'll survive! :)

Brinner - Fried Eggs and Potatoes with Turkey Bacon

Tamales and Beans (both from the freezer!)

Spaghetti with Bread and Veggies

Tacos with all the fixin's

Turkey Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes and Veggies

Orange Chicken with Broccoli

Miso Soup with Spring Rolls or Potstickers (whichever I find in the freezer section)
