Meal Plan: May 3rd - May 9th

I took a week off last week.  Work has been crazy busy and when I sat down to write my brain just couldn't do it.  Most of ours meals were pretty regular except we did have Kentucky Hot Browns in honor of the Derby.

Here is what we having for dinner this week:

Sunday: Chicken Scaloppine With Pesto and Cheese and Roasted Asparagus

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

4 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

Monday: Turkey Bacon Ranch Wraps

Wrap Recipe 

Cinco de Mayo Tuesday: Baked Chicken Chimichangas with Guacamole

Wednesday: Sesame Ginger Pork Tenderloin with Brown Rice

This was originally a chicken recipe put we were on a poultry roll so I changed it up.

3. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy skillet. 
4. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done, basting occasionally with sesame seed mixture. Place on a serving platter; garnish with green onions, if desired. Serve immediately. 

Thursday: Crock Pot Cheesy Ravioli Tortellini (The store was sold out of the ravioli I wanted)

Recipe from Life in the Lofthouse

Friday: Grabbing dinner after dance recital pictures.

Meal Plan: April 19th - April 20th

We had a busy weekend with the second dance competition of the season.  The girls and their groups did wonderful!  Hubby made this week's meal plan and then I came behind him to "clean it up".  AKA add veggies. ;)

This is what we are having for dinner this week:

Sunday - Roy Rogers Fund Raiser

Monday - Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Lo Mein 
Last week I asked for recipe ideas and lettuce wraps were suggested.  These lettuce wraps are so good they will make you dance.

I bought the Lo Mein from the prepared foods section of Wegmans but have made this recipe numerous times.

I made a Lettuce Wrap Salad for lunch with the leftovers.

Tuesday - Baked Chicken Fajitas
Recipe from budgetbytes.com

Wednesday - Breakfast Dinner

Thursday - Pork Tenderloin and Acti-Fried Brussels Sprouts
I'm not sure how I'm cooking the tenderloin yet, guess I should figure that out.
These are the Brussels Sprouts I made over Christmas.  I still need to type up this recipe.  I need to find the notebook where I wrote it down.
