Meal Plan Monday: September 28th - October 4th

We are heading into another crazy week at our house.  There were moments while I was planning that I just stared at the day saying. "I'm don't even know."  Our biggest dinner goal is to try to eat together but there are going to be nights this week where that isn't going to happen.  Thankfully that is not the norm.  This week I am relying on pre-made meals and leftovers to carry us through.

Monday: Leftovers
Minestrone soup or chili from the weekend.

Tuesday: Taco Tuesday

Wednesday: Red Beans and Rice
Recipe from Cooking Light
This recipe idea was inspired by Dave Ramsey who says while saving money to live off of rice and beans.

Thursday: Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers
Recipe from the Fixate cookbook
I have a wedding rehearsal this night so I will be making the filling for this on Wednesday.

Friday: Leftovers
Red Beans and Rice or Stuffed Peppers

Saturday: Creamy Chicken and Noodles
Recipe from The Going Jane blog
This recipe calls for cans of cream of chicken soup.  I'm going to clean in up with this recipe from Center Cut Cook.
This recipe is so good.  It reminds me of my Nana and Aunt's Chicken and Dumplings.

Sunday: Chilaquiles
Recipe from Cooking Light
I have been wanting to make this for so long.  This nacho like meal seems like a great football meal to me.  I'm all about the crock-pot on Sunday's so Sunday dinner is ready soon after we get home from church.

What's for Dinner?: June 22 - June 28th

Here's what we are having for dinner this week:


Sunday: Chislic (a South Dakota bar snack staple), Squash with Walnuts and Goat Cheese, Mushroom Rice
Chislic - State Dinner post coming

Mushroom Rice - Recipe from Tickled Red blog

Monday: Dinner with Friends

Tuesday: Club Sandwiches

Wednesday: Breakfast Dinner

Hint: Add a teaspoon of vanilla to your pancake batter.
