What's for Dinner - Weekly Menu

I know, I'm late again.. oh well... I kind of like posting on Wednesday rather than on the madness otherwise known as Monday!  So here is what we're having this week - I'd love to hear what you are eatin'!

Monday - I was supposed to make Braided Spaghetti, but I was going to make my own dough instead of what the recipe called for.  When push came to shove and the noodles and meat were on I couldn't find my yeast - CRISIS!!!  So we settled for regular ol' spaghetti instead and it was still delicious!

Tuesday - Chicken fajitas!  I did a really poor job at planning these recipes out.  First it was supposed to be steak fajitas using some steak I got on sale awhile back, but it was gone.  I either thought I bought it or someone made a midnight snack.... both are equally as likely!  So I went with chicken fajitas only to realize I was out of chili powder... ugh!!  My husband gratefully ran to Aldi (they have the best deal on spices) to pick some up for me since I literally just returned from the same store 20 minutes earlier with fajita shells.  (They make THE BEST fajita shells so we ended up using all I bought last week for another recipe - seriously. so. good.)

Wednesday - Tonight we're having Cajun Chicken Wraps - a weight watchers recipe, yay!  I was going to buy different tortillas but the ones from Aldi are soo beyond delicious that I'm sacrificing the calories for tastiness (have I mentioned have wonderful they are?)!

Thursday - Another weight watchers recipe courtesy of pinterest, we're having Bubble Up Enchiladas.  Can you tell we like to eat Mexican food in our house? I love, love, love enchiladas and hope these turn out wonderful as well.  I haven't decided if I'll do chicken or beef though...

Friday - Spinach Lasagna Rolls - they looked easy and delicious, just what we need on a Friday night!!!

I'll have a special blog just for our Saturday St. Patrick's Day Menu!

  1. So the reciepe DOES only call for one can of biscuits! I have no idea where I read two cans...but good thing I only used one. And we used ground turkey, but I chopped a little onion and sautee'd that with the ground meat. It was super easy and yum!

  2. Love your weekly menu lineup—so relatable and full of personality! Wednesday’s Cajun Chicken Wraps caught my eye since I’m a huge fan of bold, flavorful meals that still align with healthier eating goals. If you're ever looking for a shortcut version that still delivers big on taste, I highly recommend checking out the Cookout Cajun Chicken. It’s a go-to for those nights when cooking feels like too much but you still want something satisfying. Also agree 100%—Aldi’s tortillas are hard to beat!
