I'm a little behind schedule today. Today was Jackson's last day of winter break...he's been out since Dec 21st!! Crazy! I'm definitely looking forward to a bit of quiet time, but I have to say, the past week or so (after the Christmas craziness was over!) has been so nice. Brady had school this week, but he only goes MWF until 2, so it still felt a lot like vacation. I am, however, looking forward to getting back into the routine that school brings. So, with routine in mind, I made a menu for our week and hit the grocery store today to stock up on dinner things and plenty of lunch box things too :) Here's what's on our table this week...
Monday- Mashed Potatoes w/Campbell's Chunky Soup (this is one of our favorite meals from our college/newlywed days...nothing gourmet about it, but it's quick and satisfying! and at least these days, I make the mashed potatoes from scratch ;)
Tuesday- Cajun Chicken Pasta...this looks sooo good! I hope the boys like it. I'm sure Brady will at least eat the noodles and Jackson will love the chicken, so keeping my fingers crossed!
Wednesday- "whatever night"...leftovers, sandwich, whatever ;)
Thursday- Asian Turkey Meatballs & Fried Rice...these meatballs look awesome and Jackson loves any kind of meatball, so I'm expecting this to be a big hit. I've made Annie's fried rice a bunch of times and it always turns out great...I'll do it w/out shrimp this time since we're having the rice as a side.
Friday- Taco Night! I have some cheese that was BOGO a couple of weeks ago...gotta use it up and tacos (and CHEESE!) are Brady's favorite, so he'll be happy :)
I'm also hoping to find the time to make these for the boys. Might be a perfect afterschool snack tomorrow. Have you made anything new and exciting lately in the kitchen? I'd love to hear anything new you've tried that was really good..I'm always on the hunt for new ideas!
I'll be back tomorrow with a Project Life update. Happy Monday, friends!! :)
i thought you were making the same cajun chicken pasta i made last week, but looks like we have different recipes. :)

These look good! I've been mostly experimenting with diabetic recipes, so I'll keep those to myself for everyone's benefit--ha!
