Menu + Recipes

Some of you have also asked about my meal plan + recipes so here are the highlights for February 15-28:

Spinach/Chicken/Cheese Quesadillas

Tacos with rice and beans

Chicken Parmesan *recipe below

Chicken Bowtie (pesto)

Mac n sausage (2 times)

Breakfast for dinner – sausage balls

Pork chops, veggie, pasta (2 times)

Steak fingers

Chicken n rice

Taco Soup *recipe below

Burgers + Fries (2 times)

Lunches: he takes leftovers or a frozen meal I've found on sale. I eat a sandwich, fruit and granola bar typically. Breakfast: it's usually cereal or toast but cinnamon rolls or bacon & eggs jump in the mix sometimes too.

Crockpot Chicken Parmesan (Thanks Jessica!)

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or around 1 lb)

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 ½ cups water (more or less, depending on how thick you like the sauce mixture)

Noodles (any type - we've used whatever happens to be in the pantry or on sale!)

Crockpot all but the noodles 6-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.

Cook noodles and serve mixture over them.

We usually serve this with the Pepperidge Farm Garlic Toast... YUM!

Taco Soup

1 lb ground beef

2 cans corn (drain)

1 large can or 2 small/medium can beans – black or Ranch Style

1 packet of Taco seasoning

2 cans stewed tomatoes

Optional: mix in crushed tomatoes for more sauce… Salsa or Rotel can be added for some more spice

Serve with shredded cheese, tortilla chips, or cornbread (Jiffy, iron skillet with a scoop of sugar added to the mix is my fave)
