Mon: Gnocchi w/ either Green Bean or Asparagus Bundles
 Gnocchi was premade and picked up from the store.

Tues: Leftovers


Wed: Chili
I already have my hamburger precooked in onions.  I just thaw and add in V8 or vegetable juice, two cans of HOT Bush's chili beans, chili powder, and simmer!

Thurs: Leftovers


Fri: Black Bean Soup
 This recipe I make early and use several different ways.  I either eat at made or I will puree to use in Mexican dishes or as a dip...SO MANY USES!  I also add in green and red bell peppers for extra flavor.  You need to start this process a day early if you use dry beans as they need to soak for at least 8 hours.  I usually put in water before going to bed and soak overnight.

Sat: Leftovers


Sun: Leftovers or make a Mexican dish

Week of April 9

Ok, I've been gone awhile, but I am going to try to be back up and running.  Right now I don't have many pictures, but I do have many new foods we have tried and liked VERY much.  So as usual, I will post the links to where I found the recipes!  Enjoy!

Mon: Leftovers


Tues: Spaghetti w/ Zucchini
Regular old spaghetti with meat sauce, but the zucchini "appetizer" has become a new hit.


Wed: Teryaki Pork Loin w/stir fry veggies
I pick up frozen stir fry veggies in the freezer aisle of Wal-Mart then just saute the entire bag in a bit of tahini oil and garlic.  When making the pork loin I have used several different recipes and combine to my liking.  This recipe isn't all that bad, I just like to improvise from time to time.


Thurs: Blacken Chicken w/ Quinoa and Couscous Salad


Fri: Breakfast or leftovers or freezer clean out


Sat: Tilapia w/ Pesto and Caprese Salad
I love Kayln's Kitchen website...so organized and helpful and great recipes!

Wow...where has time gone.  Since the last posting we have had Carver Quinn come into our lives and we have moved from Kansas to Nebraska.  For now, I hope I can keep up with the menus.  Most ideas are coming from our local grocery store, Hy-Vee.

Instead of planning out each day here is what is 'planned' for the week:


Grilled chicken breast with side salad and cherries

Pork loin with Peanut Butter Apple Salad and edamame

Lean chuck roast with red potatoes and watermelon

Turkey/Cheese Lettuce Wraps with brown rice and peaches

Salsa Fish and Chips with edamame and cherries and/or grapes

Beef Tacos with side salad and grapes

BBQ Pork Kababs with side salad and fruit
