Weekly Menu Plan for Busy Moms!

May 14, 2012


 Another busy week is ahead for us and I don't think there is a end in sight! So I have to think of meals that I can prepare ahead of time so that we at least get a few nights of family meals. I have to say that the Crock Pot is my best friend during the week. I don't think I could live without her! What is your must have in the kitchen for those busy weeks?

Monday: Meatless Monday Meal - Pea and Avocado Penne with a salad and french bread.

Tuesday: Crock Pot Wine and Tomato Braised Chicken with Egg Noodles homemade bread from the freezer.

Wednesday: Busy day starting out with a seminar for the Media Moms Club and then a School event in the evening so having Kentucky Burgoo from the freezer with homemade biscuits. 

Thursday: Celebrating my brother in law's law school graduation. The kids will be with family members and we will head out to dinner in the city

Friday: Baseball game at 6:00pm so that means an early dinner for the kiddos! Turkey Hot Dogs on Wheat Buns, Sweet potato fries and fresh fruit.

Saturday: I will be in Philadelphia all day at the Bloggy Bootcamp Conference so the boys are on their own.

Sunday: Will be busying getting my house back in order since I will have been gone most of the end of the week so my best friend from the kitchen will be coming out a again - Making Chicken Enchiladas in the Crock Pot

 

Crock Pot Oat Groats Recipe

May 9, 2012



  
Who doesn't find it challenging in the mornings, sometimes even getting the kiddos out of bed and dresses is a full time job. So I can imagine that making a healthy breakfast each day can be a bit daunting. 

I recently purchased Oat Groats from Harvest Local because they gave me a really cool recipe that I wanted to try. Since I've never tried Oat Groats before but have 2 boys that are in love with homemade oatmeal I thought I'd give it a try. 

I did a bit of research on the web and found out...

Weekly Menu Plan

May 6, 2012


 I've been slacking to say the least. With spring sports it seems almost impossible to have family dinners and I've decided enough is enough and I am getting back into a routine. I seriously have no idea how moms do it with 3-4 children all in different sports, having 2 children in baseball and that is throwing me for a loop. 

As we continue to have a busy week it's my goal to at least have 3 family meals this week. The other nights we will shoot for leftovers or I will make a dinner for the f...

Crock Pot Kentucky Burgoo

May 5, 2012



 We are headed to a Derby Party and I wanted to bring something traditional that would be served in Kentucky on this exact day. I went searching the internet and found this recipe. I liked the main part of it but needed to change a few things to meet our dietary requirements (no beef) and I am not a huge fan of Lima beans so I switched it up and replaced the Lima beans for Cannelloni beans. So if you see a recipe that has ingredients that you don't like or can't eat just switch it up a bit to...

It's been awhile since I posted a Meatless Monday meal. Not saying we haven't been participating in Meatless Monday, but it's been challenging to find time to post about it. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and I hope you will join me in making Monday's Meatless or at least one day of the week a Meatless day.
