Sunday Night: Grilled Steaks and Potato Pockets (potatoes/onions/and squash in foil on the grill)
Monday Night: Santa Fe Casserole (New Recipe)
Tuesday Night: Crockpot Chicken Parmesan
**We Have had this a few times now, and I love the simplicity of it. Both of my tiny tots love it. The Crockpot is definitely our lifesaver! I usually serve the chicken over whole wheat pasta (whatever we have left in the pantry from previous meals)
Wednesday Night: Red Beans and Rice
*This is one of the first meals I made when we were first married, and it is one of our old standbys. Here is the recipe:
What you Need: 2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 C Chicken Broth
1/4C white onion, diced small
1/4C green bell pepper, diced small
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt & pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1 TBSP chopped oregano
1 C white rice
1 Can Red Kidney Beans, rinsed & drained
Directions: In a medium saucepan, heat oil over med-high.
Add onion, bell pepper, & garlic, and cook until onion is soft (about 4 min). Season with Salt and pepper, add cumin, oregano, and rice. Stir & cook 1 minute.
Add beans & broth, stir, then season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover.
REduce to a medium simmer and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, (15-20 min).
Thursday Night: Creamy Chicken and Corn Soup (New Recipe)
Friday Night: Bubble Pizza
* This is another old standby for our family and a great way to finish off the week. This is a recipe that you can totally play around with. I usually use whatever we have in the fridge as "toppings" This week we will use green pepper, onion, pepperoni, and maybe some black olives. Feel free to have fun with it!
Let me know if you try any of them out and what you think! :)
