Sunday Night Supper..

Today has been a great day of lazy! I love days like that. Maia was off to her Nana's house, and Danny and I were home with the baby. After some house cleaning, coloring my hair, and a run to Target it was time to get dinner started. I planned 5 meals last week and we didn't eat one of them, so I decided to make it today. We had Thai Pork and Noodles. This is the first time I have made it. I changed a few things. The recipe called for 3 red jalapenos, and I only had 2 green. I didn't have a whole lime, so i zested 1/2 a lime and added some additional lime juice. I made it in the wok, and it was REALLY good. Jocelyn took one bite of the noodles, and decided it was time for some Cheerios and fruit instead. But she was being a little picky. Normally she will eat anything and everything. Voila! (Danny said right before making his plate "Do you need to take a picture of this?" HA! He laughs at me every time.)

This portion seems small, but it was a very big plate. I put the rest in a dish that I can put in the oven and covered it with foil. Then we'll have this for lunch tomorrow.

This week's meal plan: I kept it REALLY easy. I only planned 4 meals, and most of them I know off the top of my head. I didn't plan anything on Ziplist this week, since I made my shopping list in the grocery parking lot. I had every intention to make something new this week, but I ended up running to the store for milk and such, and decided at the last minute that I didn't want to come BACK with a new list and made one up on the spot, on the back of an envelope that was hanging out in my purse.


Monday - Leftovers - The whole family if off for the day and we will be running around. I decided to keep day 1 easy peasy.

Tuesday - Turkey Meatballs with whole wheat pasta. I am going to try to make this ahead so it will be ready Tuesday evening.

Wednesday - Momma's Chicken. Maia named this dish. I lightly pan fry chicken breaded in panko bread crumbs and seasoned salt. We'll have broccoli and mashed potatoes with it.

Thursday - Terriyaki Turkey Meatballs with brown rice. These were such a hit, I am going to make them again this week. Last week I used ground beef, this week turkey. I plan to cook these ahead too. Probably while I am making the spaghetti and meatballs for Tuesday.

Friday - Take-out - Could be pizza, Chinese or tacos. Who knows!

I guess I can start planning next week's menu just to be ahead of the game.
