I always plan our meals. I don’t go grocery shopping without making a list and I can’t do that without planning what we are going to have for dinner.
In the summer, we did a lot of grilling. It was nice because my husband takes care of that, so there was always little for me to do cooking-wise. As the weather got colder, I realized that I missed cooking. I missed comfort foods like lasagna and tater tot casserole.
As a mom that works full time outside the home 5 days a week, I come home to hungry kids and a hungry husband, so I don’t have time to cook things that take a long time. I have tried various ways of planning my meals – crock pot recipes, easy skillet meals for during the week, and cooking the dishes that take longer on the weekends. I am still trying to find the perfect combo of this.
This week is one of those that I don’t want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen, so I am going easy every night. Here’s this week’s menu:
Monday - Spaghetti, salad, and cheesy garlic toast
Tuesday – Hot beef sandwiches, veggie, chips
Wednesday – Burgers on the grill (not sure what with it)
Thursday – Thanksgiving
Friday – Dinner out
Saturday – not sure yet
Sunday – Pizza (This is our regular Sunday night dinner)
