Monday - Dirty Rice - nothing fancy. Just a box of the mix and a pound of ground beef. Add a side of vegetables and call it done. We also made mac-n-cheese because I knew Emma wouldn't touch the dirty rice even if it was topped in chocolate!
Tuesday - Taco Tuesday - we eat tacos a lot. Sometimes chicken tacos, sometimes my new obsession chicken crock pot tacos, and other times I break down and make traditional tacos using ground beef. It's Emma's favorite and I aim to please! Add refried beans and red beans and rice and we're good!
Wednesday - Tonight we're having another pinterest recipe. Hawaiin Chicken in the crock pot! Take frozen chicken breasts, a bottle of Hawaiian bbq sauce (or your favorite - I stuck with Sweet Baby Ray's to save myself $2) and a can of crushed pineapple. Throw it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice or on your favorite buns! This also makes a great make ahead meal. Throw all the ingredients in a ziploc bag and freeze until ready to cook - then throw in the crock pot.
Thursday - I'm so excited for Thursday night's dinner. I have been craving these bad boys for weeks! I'm making whole wheat blueberry pancakes - OMG! And of course I'll be making plain pancakes (whole wheat of course) for the man of the house and I'll probably make a few chocolate chip pancakes for the little ones. I've got some turkey bacon too! Can. Not. Wait!
Friday - We'll end the week easy with some Turkey BLT's with a side of fruit! Maybe some chips....
One night this week I hope to make these:
Bite size apple pies. Don't they look delicious??? I've got all the ingredients, just need to make them! Take a guess where I got the idea from.... PINTEREST
Next week is mostly all pinterest recipes - so excited to make them!!
I've been thinking that I want to get back into posting meals for the week, too. I have a recipe for "apple turnovers" which is really an apple slice rolled in a crescent - they are AWESOME...and it sort of looks like your picture above. (Mine are baked in a mountain dew / brown sugar sauce - not kidding.) They look delish!
