Meals This Week

OK so when I don't meal plan, we eat out. 
I may cook once or twice and then we eat leftovers, or I resort to cereal and sandwiches.
So here's to this week... wish me luck!

Monday: World's Best Chicken - a Pinterest find and we'll see how the name holds up
Tuesday: Million Dollar Spaghetti - again a Pinterest find
Wednesday: Sweet Baby Ray's Crockpot Chicken
Thursday: Thai Food (hey I am gonna be gone and I need me some Thai to hold me over)
Friday: Pizza, I will be gone
Saturday: leftovers
Sunday: let's face it, Steve will eat out or at a friends

Also making smoothies packs this week 
as well as jars of smoothies and veggies drinks for Aubry's BooginHeads drinkable packs.

For a lunch option: Cucumber Salad
Breakfast/snack: applesauce bread

OK so already I am wondering if I'll have time for all of this along with packing myself, prepping family to live while I'm gone and let's not forget the upcoming event I have the Friday after I return.
Eeeek!
We'll see.
Now to get going to the grocery.
Happy eats!

Blueberry Kale Smoothie

This was perfect to use in Aubry's Boogin'Head and good for me too!!

Gotta eat those greens

Blueberry Kale:

1 cup frozen blueberries

2 bananas

2 handfuls chopped kale

1 cup apple juice (could use water)

Optional: 1 T ground flax seed

Meals 4 Week

Here it is to help me stick to a menu and continue to eat down on my pantry

Sat: pizza
Sun: meat loaf
Mon: Quesadillas
Tues: fish
Wed: chicken alfredo
Thurs: chinese- b-day party
Fri: pecan chicken

I also want to make:
these muffins
Sweet potato fries
smoothies to have on hand

Now if I can just get the desire to make these things, it's gonna be a busy week so as much prepping as I can do will be helpful.

Another Week of meals

I just dislike cooking.
Simple.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, I really don't like to cook.
The meal planning, the deal getting (I spent $42 last week and saved $58), the shopping, the preparing, the clean-up and then there is the eating healthy thing, I mean come on can't we all live on chocolate. Cooking just doesn't excite me, in fact it has been the #1 most neglected thing in my life lately.
But... since we can't live on cereal I must make an attempt to cook something, anything.
So here goes...
my upcoming meals.

Thursday: Publix chicken
Friday: crock pot fajitas
Saturday: chicken salad 
Sunday: chicken soup
Monday: turkey meatloaf
Tuesday: sweet and sour meatballs
Wednesday: mini calzones

OK so there it is, I am attempting to NOT eat out this week.
As far as snacks and other meals... those drive me nuts too, I mean a diet of cereal and chocolate really fits every meal. Poor Aubry May and the rest of the eaters in our home. Don't get me wrong I do cook and we do eat healthy it's just that I don't do it with a joyful heart and I think food made in love tastes the best. I guess that's what I ask God for, a renewed heart for the cooking aspect of my stay at home mom job. I mean I use to enjoy it, one season of my life. I'm sure of it.
So breakfasts and lunches can look like this

b-fasts: oatmeal, cereal, eggs, apples, bananas, pancakes
lunches: hummus, pb&j, ham sandwich, fruit and veggie puree'
snacks: yogurt, graham crackers, fruit, sweet potato fries

Well hopefully this list will help me and I know my asking God is a for sure help.
So now... off to the grocery, at 5pm, with a baby, while I'm hungry :)
