Meal Plan Monday: February 15th - February 21st

I'm so happy that I can finally share our good news.  We are buying a house!  We close in two weeks. These last few weeks have been so busy.  Every spare moment has gone into purging and packing.  It has caused the blog to go out late and for that I apologize.

This week I'm trying to recipes from Hello Fresh.  There a ton of box meal subscriptions now but Hello Fresh has always peeked my interest.  I couldn't justify the extra expense when we already go to the grocery store every week.  And really if I meal prep its essentially the same as having all the food shipped to me prepped and ready to go.  Long story short is I as happy to see that they will give you their recipes on the website, some are from Jamie Oliver, and they offer family friendly recipes.

We are super excited for this weekend.  My daughter's are dancing in the Dance Company Showcase. It's going to be a busy weekend for sure but I'm excited to see their dances on stage.  They have been working on them since August.  This is also a big year for my oldest as this will be her first solo.  I'll probably be a wreck.

Meal Plan Monday: September 21st - September 27th

Oh momma is it a crazy week.  Lots of out of the norm meetings and events but I think we are ready.  I took page out of Hello Fresh's book and prepped and labeled this week's dinners per meal.  Hopefully this helps bring dinner together even faster. Has anyone tried a meal delivery service like Hello Fresh?

Monday: Chicken Cobb Salads
This is a tradition version mixed with the Healthified version in the Fixate cookbook.  Here is how I make this for the kids.  For some reason they love entree salads but fight me on eating a side salad with dinner.  Everything is prepped and ready to go for at work/before meetings.

Tuesday: Dinner at the County Fair
We usually go for the pulled pork.  What is you favorite thing to eat that the fair?

Wednesday: Crock Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls
Recipe from Two Healthy Kitchens
It's good to have a hubby that gets to telework. He can help with dinner! ;)

Thursday:  Chicken Piccata with Asparagus 
Recipe from The Beachbody Blog
Thursday have become interesting since my oldest eats at the dance studio.  My youngest wants what her sister is having so my husband and I have a night where we can cook some the foods they don't like. We have not had this in a long time because my youngest does not like anything lemon or lime.  It's one of my top favorites.  I am leaving out the artichokes for my husband.

Friday:  Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Nothing special here.  Spaghetti with a "clean" jar of sauce with cooked ground meat added.  You can use a low fat ground beef or ground turkey.

Saturday: Dinner Out!
This momma has asked for a night out of the kitchen.  No cooking or cleaning dishes.  (We switch off.  If one cooks the other cleans.)
I am making Minestrone soup out of the Fixate cookbook for lunch.

Sunday: Chili with Cauliflower Breadsticks
I'm not sure which chili I want to make.  My normal chili or the Fixate chili.  Or a chili from the new Cooking Light magazine.  All I know is that it is time.  I hope it doesn't turn out to be 90 degrees that day.
Breadsticks recipe from Autumn Calabrese
People rave about these breadsticks so I think it is about time I give them a try.

Meal Plan: June 21st - June 27th

There are a lot of carbs in this week's menu.  I must be craving them.  This week I have add the equivalent 21 day Fix containers.  Would you like to see more of this?
