Joy’s Week
I didn’t cook a single meal last week, and I don’t want this week to be a repeat of that. My family really enjoyed it a couple weeks ago when I cooked dinner four times, and I think I spoiled them. They want me to do it again!
Zesty helped me come up with this menu plan, using what I already have on hand, and I’m so looking forward to the meals. They all sound delicious, and so easy to make!
M: Zesty’s Almost Chicken Paella
T: Braised Pork Chops in Sweet Apple Mustard and Baked Potato Wedges with Thyme (This was on my menu two weeks ago, but it was replaced with homemade pizzas for my daughter’s birthday sleepover party.)
W: I have about 15 minutes between my piano lessons and when we leave for church, so there is absolutely NO time for a meal. We’ll all be yo-yoing…and if I manage to eat anything at all, it’ll be a miracle.
T: Shepherd’s Pie (This is another busy day, with only 45 minutes between lessons and when I have to leave, so I’ll prepare this during the day and have Jaden put it in the oven before my lessons are over so we’ll be ready to eat as soon as I’m done.)
Kate’s Week
I have another busy week coming up this week. I have a feeling things will be pretty busy around here the next few weeks with the Virtual Great American Bake Sale planning and preparing. Fortunately, I have quite a few meals in the freezer that we can eat.
A few weekends ago we were supposed to spend the night at my in-laws lake house to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday, and Gracie’s 2nd birthday. That had to get pushed back though, so we’ll be doing that this coming weekend instead.
Breakfast
- M - Banana bread French toast (using banana bread from the freezer)
- T - Peanut butter oatmeal
- W - Morning glory muffins & smoothies
- Th - Waffles
- F - Scrambled eggs & toast
- S - Chocolate chip coffee cake
- Su - Breakfast w/ the in-laws
Lunch
- M - Tuna pasta salad, peaches
- T - Pizza bagels (from the freezer), carrot and celery sticks
- W - Leftovers
- Th - Quesadillas, apple slices
- F - Chicken salad in pitas, pineapple & oranges
- S - Lunch w/in-laws
- Su - TBD (depending on when we leave)
Dinner
- M - Beef and rice wet burritos (from the freezer), Mexican corn casserole
- T - Something using chicken & gravy from the freezer (maybe over biscuits)
- W - Stuffed Shells (from the freezer), Tomato-basil bread
- Th - Meatloaf cups (from the freezer), mashed potatoes, maple-glazed carrots
- F - Chicken Parm fingers over garlic spaghetti, broccoli
- S - At the in-laws (I will be taking 2 cakes - one white, one chocolate)
- Su - Black bean & corn nachos

Menus look delish. When I can get my kiddo’s input, the menus always seem to be more successful too. Sometimes it’s just a job a mom’s gotta do, but when the kids help, it’s always better.
Yummy!!!!!!!!
