Weekly Menu Plan – It’s Football Time In Tennessee

I’ve got quite the streak going, huh? Well when the neighbor dog woke me up at 5am this morning, I figured that was a good time to get some planning done.

Football season is in full swing now and that means Keith’s hours during the week are a little more unpredictable. All the more reason to have a plan in place so I’m not scrambling to make dinner with Leah literally clinging to my legs. I should be able to have prep done over the long weekend and/or a plan for what needs to be done each night before bed.

Since we’ve got a home game this week, I’m making sure to think ahead to weekend meals too. I don’t typically plan too much for the weekend but having easy meals in mind while I’m on my own with the girls can only help.

So here goes for this week:

Breakfast

Brooke and I made a double batch of blueberry pancakes yesterday morning. We’ll eat those throughout the week along with our usual french toast bites and waffles. I also still have a few pumpkin pie steel cut oats in the fridge to grab if needed.

Lunch

Brooke & Keith will have their usuals.
Me – leftovers or sandwiches

We’ll do paninis and/or leftovers over the weekend.

Dinner

Burgers, fries, corn on the cob
Crock Pot Mexican Stuffed Peppers
Cheeseburger Pie
Grilled Cheese & Popcorn
Pizza Night
Quesadillas
Leftover Buffet!! (Like how I try to make that sound like a fun, exciting thing)

{Menu Plan Monday} Taming the Chaos

Menu Plan Monday
Last week was pretty insane for me and I have vowed to do what I can to make nights a little easier for me. So I’m back to menu planning!! I’m hopeful that having a menu in mind and knowing that I have all the ingredients I need in the kitchen will bring the stress level down at 5:00 when I have schoolwork, Brooke’s new gymnastics class (!) and the gym on the agenda after dinner.

This week:

Monday: Crack Burgers (via Plain Chicken)
Tuesday: First Gymnastics Class – thinking a little snacky dinner before and another snack after
Wednesday: Meatballs over Noodles (via allrecipes)
Thursday: Taco Night!!!
Friday: Crockpot Lemon Chicken (again Plain Chicken)

Hopefully a little prior planning and prep will lead to a smoother week!!
