I can’t believe there is only one month left of school for the kids!  Time sure seems to be flying by and we have so much going on this week that I’m sure it will fly by too.  Of course it’s weeks like this that make me so grateful to have a meal plan and a freezer full of home cooked meals – I’m still amazed at how much time, money and stress it saves us just from having a plan in advance!

Monday – Beef Fajitas

Tuesday – Barbecued Meatballs

Wednesday – Chicken Macaroni Bake

Thursday – Pizza and Chicken Wings

Friday – Date night – dinner out!

Saturday – Citrus Marinated Pork Chops

Sunday – Sandwiches

We have a bunch of outdoor chores planned for this week like getting the garden tilled and ready to go and we’ve got to do a lawn mower repair and cut the grass before it gets out of hand.  It’s always nice on super busy weeks like this one to have a bunch of homemade meals ready to go in the freezer!  Here’s what we have planned on the menu for this week:

Monday – Teriyaki Chicken

Tuesday – Crescent Wrapped Hot Dogs

Wednesday – Chicken Milanese

Thursday – Sausage & Eggs (breakfast for supper)

Friday – Date night – dinner out!

Saturday – Chicken Rollatini

Sunday – Soup & Sandwiches

This week is spring break for the kids and we’re planning a bunch of gardening projects, activities and a day trip to visit the USS Alabama at Battleship Memorial Park so I’ve lined up some easy meals for the week from items that we already have available in the freezer.  I’m looking forward to hanging out with the kids and getting to sleep in a little this week, but I’m also pretty sure I’ll be ready for school again by the end of the week 😉

Monday – Teriyaki Chicken & Corn Soup

Tuesday – Beef Tacos

Wednesday – Chicken & Rice Bake

Thursday – Sausage & Eggs

Friday – Date night – dinner out!

Saturday – Hamburger Steaks

Sunday – Soup & Sandwiches

I'm super excited about getting our garden started with all this beautiful weather we've been having!  The kids helped us plant several different types of tomato seeds (Early Girl, Better Boy, Cherry and Beefsteak) and they're just thrilled that they're coming up now.  I'm going to have to sneak in there quick and get them pruned when the kids aren't looking just to avoid any drama 😉  I know this looks like a lot of plants but they won't all make it and the kids can eat their weight in tomatoes, plus we love having extra to give away.  How have you been enjoying this early spring weather?

Monday – Chicken Fried Rice

Tuesday – Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls (breakfast for supper)

Wednesday – Yoshida Chicken

Thursday – Crescent Wrapped Hot Dogs

Friday – Date night – dinner out!

Saturday – Chicken Rollatini

Sunday – Chicken Nuggets

Only two of the tomato seeds that we planted with the kids a couple weeks ago have come up – we’re not sure if maybe they got planted too deep or if there was some issue with the soil we used from the farm next door.  We love fresh tomatoes so we’ve planted some more seeds this weekend hoping we’ll have better luck.  Usually we buy seedlings from the store but we were hoping that starting our own seeds would give us more plants this year and help save a few bucks at the same time.  I’ll let you know how this batch turns out!

Monday – Spaghetti & Meatballs

Tuesday – Tilapia Fish Sticks

Wednesday – Turkey & Mashed Potatoes

Thursday – Chicken & Pasta Bake

Friday – Date night – dinner out!

Saturday – Pizza & Wings

Sunday – Soup & Sandwiches
