Menu Plan for the Week of August 29

Another crazy week for the Brooks household…Actually, I think every week that we have school is a crazy week!

Here are my menu ideas for this crazy one…

Monday: grilled London broil, hashbrown potatoes, Normandy veggies

Tuesday: shredded chicken tacos and pinto beans

Wednesday: homemade Margarita pizza

Thursday: beef and bean burritos and Spanish rice

Friday: eat out with friends

Saturday: grilled chicken and Normandy veggies

Sunday: something simple or leftovers

Menu Plan for the Week of August 22

Well school is off in full swing which means that things around my house are too. It’s so crazy around here that I dare not put a date to any of these menu ideas!

So, here they are (in no particular order)…

grilled London broil and steamed veggies

California rolls, lettuce wraps, sauteed zucchini (my dear husband is experimenting with all of this—he is a fantastic cook)

grilled chicken breast and steamed veggies

breakfast for supper—scrambled eggs, toast, and fruit

beef and bean burritos

pizza night

slow cooker BBQ beef sandwiches

Menu Plan for the Week of August 15

Well, we have officially all gone back to school! So far, our home hasn’t gone too crazy (thankfully). This is the first full week of school, though. We’ll see….

Monday—hotdogs, chili, tater tots
Tuesday—eating out for DS’s birthday!!! He’ll be 7
Wednesday—crescent chicken, garden veggies
Thursday—shredded chicken tacos, black beans
Friday—pizza and salad night
Saturday—grilled London broil, garden veggies

The First Day of School

Freezer Cooking Results for August 12

Well, I didn't do a ton of freezer cooking today, but we got some accomplished which was the plan! I made a huge batch of whole wheat waffles for my kids to have for breakfast before school. I think it made about 27 Belgian waffles. At 1 huge waffle each for breakfast with some fruit, that should last for 9 mornings! I don't think that's bad at all considering I have three kiddos and limited freezer space!
We also made enough peanut butter sandwiches for the kids to have for a week of lunches! Now I know it doesn't take a long time to make a peanut butter sandwich but when we are making three every evening and making coffee and laying out clothes and cooking supper and doing our chores and everything else we do to get ready for our day...well, you know. It's just nice to not have one more thing to worry about! We plan to do this most every week (my kids love peanut butter sandwiches).
Soooo, our tally is: 27 Belgian waffles and 15 peanut butter sandwiches for a very short amount of time on a Saturday afternoon--plenty of time left to play!!
