Meal Plan Monday 2/8/16

This weekend was a busy one!  Saturday started with a trip to the gym, followed by a playdate for Rowen, a birthday party for her friend, Preston and then dinner for my mom's birthday! Whew!

Sunday was more laid back with church and sunday school in the morning, followed by naps and errands, and then a little impromptu get together with our neighbors for the Super Bowl!  Ryan made a few delicious appetizers for the big game including nachos and these {taco stuffed baked potatoes}...so good!

And speaking of good, I am pretty excited for the meals we have coming up this week, check it out!

Monday: {Cheesy Ham and Pineapple Sandwiches}

Tuesday: {Crockpot Beef and Noodles}

Wednesday: {BBQ Onion Meatball Bombs} Rowen will eat plain meatballs

Thursday: {Cajun Chicken Alfredo}

Friday:  Not Cooking

Meal Plan Monday 2/1/16

Can you believe it's already February?!  This past weekend was great!  Friday night was spent getting ready for my sister's baby shower!  Saturday morning, my mom and I threw her a "pretty in pink" themed shower that was a lot of fun!  There were a lot of people there and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves - a big thank you to everyone who came!

We ended Saturday night at Rowen's preschool Fun Night.  We had dinner beforehand with Rowen's BFF and her family, and then headed to her school to play games and load up on trinkets and junk food!

Sunday was more laid back with lots of errands to run before the "big snowstorm".  Apparently we're supposed to get a bunch of snow, but I personally think it'll end up being a dud...we'll see!  Either way, I planned some warm and cozy meals for the week!  Check it out...

Monday:  {Best Ever Enchiladas} with Mexican rice

Tuesday: {Easy Slow Cooker Meatloaf} with red potatoes and carrots

Wednesday:  {Broccoli and Bell Pepper Chicken Stir Fry} with rice

Thursday: {Bacon Cheddar Pinwheels} with sweet potato fries and veggies

Friday:  Not Cooking

It was a pretty fun weekend.  My sister is due with her first baby in March so her in-laws threw her a baby shower on Saturday, so cute!

Sunday night we had my parents over for dinner and to play with the kids and noticed Wyatt had a fever.  He's been pretty miserable since then and his temperature hasn't gone down any.  Sick kids are the worst!

Hoping for a smooth rest of the week and some delicious dinners, too!  Check it out...

Monday:  {Lemon Chicken Skillet}

Tuesday: {Southwestern Crispy Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches}

Wednesday:  {Slow Cooker Pepperoni and Chicken}

Thursday: {Italian Ground Beef Casserole with Biscuit Topping}

Friday:  Not Cooking

Meal Plan Monday 1-18-16

Happy Monday!  Besides the fact that the weather is so cold it's borderline unbearable, the weekend was great!  The highlights for me were a much needed "friends dinner" on Friday night  and then a birthday party for our little neighbor guy on Sunday!  So much fun!

The weekend also included the usual meal planning/prepping. We've been pretty lucky in that most of what I've planned so far this month the family has really liked!  There have been a few duds in there, but we've been pleased for the most part.  Hope to continue the trend this week...

Monday: {Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie}

Tuesday: {Sloppy Joe Cornbread Bake}

Wednesday: {Brown Sugar Ham Steak} - Rowen loves ham, she eats ham the best out of any meat, so I hope she likes this!  We'll probably have this with veggies and rice or potatoes

Thursday: {Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potatoes} with {Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli}

Friday:  Not Cooking

Meal Plan Monday 1-11-2016

Meal Plan Monday on the blog!  I've found some good ones and I am SUPER excited about tonight's meal!  It's SO STINKIN' cold in Iowa right now and the meal we have planned tonight just screams warm and cozy!

Monday:  {Easy Slow Cooked Beef Ragu} We are just using angel hair pasta

Tuesday:  {Cheeseburger Flatbread Melts}

Wednesday: {Chicken Enchilada Skillet}

Thursday:  {Hot Ham and Cheese Rolls} I pinned something similar to this awhile back, but this recipe has a little different spin to it and uses a pizza crust!  These were a huge hit in our house!

Meal Plan Monday - First one of 2016

Besides heading to our neighbor’s house for NYE to let the kids play while the parents threw back a few, and watching the Hawkeyes get the crap kicked out of them, the long weekend was pretty uneventful.  Wyatt came down with a bad cold Friday (which he then passed on to Rowen), leaving him down and out and forcing the rest of us to spend some much needed time at home!

On Sunday we headed to church/Sunday School and then home for the usual...cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and meal prepping.  

Here’s what we’re having this week…

Monday:  {Baked Sweet Hawaiian Chicken} (Hoping Rowen eats this – she loves pineapple)

Tuesday:  {Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meatball Soup}

Wednesday:  {Bacon Parmesan Gnocchi}

Thursday: {Cheesy Avocado Quesadillas} (Rowen will most likely just eat a beef and cheese 

quesadilla)

Friday:  Not Cooking

Meal Plan Monday 12/14/15

This weekend was a weekend of firsts for both Rowen and Wyatt...

I'll start with Wyatt.  Saturday we headed to the mall to see Santa, and while Rowen wanted nothing to do with him, Wyatt was 100% on board - in true Wyatt fashion, he smiled and giggled the entire time!  First Santa experience was a total success!

After Santa we then hit up the train with our good friends and neighbors - Rowen was happy to do this and had a blast!

On Sunday, Rowen was whisked away by two of her favorite people (my mom and sister) to see her very first movie (Peanuts Movie), which she loved!  I was worried she wouldn't be able to sit through the enitre thing, but she did, and she did great!  I think it helped that they took her to see it at Flix Brewhouse and incorporated lunch into the experience!  Nothing like eating mac n cheese while you watch your very first big screen movie!

The other first she had was going to her first college basketball game.  Rowen has officially declared herself a Cyclone fan thanks to her dad (insert my sad face here).  I scored some tickets from a co-worker so they had a fun Sunday night complete with basketball, pretzels and a giant ice cream cone!

As for me, I stayed home to get stuff done around the house...there was a ton of laundry calling my name, presents to be wrapped and groceries to be bought!

Speaking of groceries, here is what we have planned for dinners this week...!

Monday: {Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meatball Soup}

Tuesday:  {Cracked Out Chicken and Rice Bake}

Wednesday:  {Greek Turkey Burgers} (hoping Rowen will eat this if we let her dunk it in ketchup!)

Thursday:  {Honey Mustard BBQ Sticky Chicken}

Friday:  Not Cooking
