tacos with refried beans
beef ravioli with broccoli
grilled shrimp, veggies and brown rice.

Keeping meals on the easier side & trying to clear out my cabinets/fridge & freezer so we don't have to pack/move as much food items.

Yesterday - burgers & greenbeans
Mon - IP crispy chicken carnitas, rice & beans, corn
Tues - Turkey club BLTs, cucumber salad
Wed - chicken tortilla soup, chicken taquitos & broccoli for the kids
Thurs - Chicken parm rollups, sauteed spinach, pasta
Fri - takeout

(can you tell I have a lot of chicken to get rid of?)

Monday - IP Chicken and Gnocchi soup
Tuesday - Turkey with pasta side and veggie (I think green beans)
Wednesday - Chicken and brocolli alfredo with angel hair pasta
Thursday - Leftovers for H and the kids - I'm going out with a friend

fierymama, any chance you are using this recipe for the chicken and gnocchi soup?

Combo of that one and this (it didn't have a Pinterest pin, so I took screenshots). I am using heavy cream and spinach (already had the cream and I like spinach). Using most of the spices from the first and leaving out the rosemary.

Thanks, fierymama! That might have to be my soup of the week next week!

We seem to be doing a soup each week too! Last week was Lemon Chicken Orzo. H wants to do a broccoli cheddar, but I need something else to go with it and we haven't agreed on what yet. 😂

Success! Only critique from H is to cut the spinach. I don't mind it the way it is, but I like spinach.

coconutbacon, I had a dish today out at brunch that (I think) you would love!
It was called the "Bliss Bowl" and included: sauteed mushrooms, hummus, English lentils, pickled beets, curried cauliflower, spinach, caramelized onions, chickpea fritters on top. It was delicious!

[coconutbacon]

Ooh, that sounds so delicious easternshoregirl! I might have to try to make something similar.

[mommabakes]

A couple of things got moved around last week, so this will:

•Potato soup+oatmeal bread- G has ballet, so Crock-Pot meals work well on Mondays!
•DHs birthday- lasagna (homemade pasta sheets!), Bread sticks, salad, cherry pie for dessert
•Caprese chicken burgers and salad
•Beef and noodles over mashed potatoes, roasted carrots
•pork carnitas enchiladas, creamy cheddar corn, guac+chips

[fierymama]

Chicken and broccoli Alfredo w/angel hair (didn't make it last week.
IP cheddar broccoli soup with sandwiches (or just a bread bowl).
Pulled pork with coleslaw
Leftovers
