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!

Wednesday's Weekly Menu
I know, I know - these are supposed to be Monday Menu's but I forgot, so we'll just go with Wednesday this week! I haven't even posted menu's in months, so a few days late will be OK, right? I've been finding so many yummy recipes on pinterest that we're enjoying new recipes more often - yay - so I don't have to post the same five things every week and wanted to share!!
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!!
