Menu Plan Monday

I haven't posted this in awhile on the blog out of laziness, but if you saw the side of my fridge, you would see it posted up each week. Our Christmas travel plans are going to mean quite awhile off of kitchen duty. So I'm taking the next couple weeks to really cook a lot and try to use up every last crumb in this house (ok, not really). Brian did me the honor of cooking last night for us. He had an itch for this chicken cheesesteak sandwich he had during his post graduate work in Delaware and so he wanted to try to make a replica. It was sooooo nice to just play with the boys for a whole hour or so while he owned the kitchen. Thanks again, babe! So here's what our week looks like. Once again, I plan about 5 meals a week and then cook them as they suit our days. We always eat one meal out, and we always eat leftovers for another night. So really, planning 5 meals is no biggie. Getting the kids to eat them is my bigger challenge. :)

1. Smoked sausage with green beans and onions, side of brown rice, fruit
2. Homemade pizza, salad, fruit
3. Teriyaki chicken, stirfry veggies and brown rice
4. Taco soup
5. Chicken Pot-pie Empanadas , salad ( REALLY yummy and EASY. Even Noah (4) ate it!)
6. leftovers
7. dinner out
