WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK

I shared a post few months ago on what we were planning on eating that week and I thought it would be fun to do another post like that. It's a pretty simple week, meal wise. During the summer months I like to keep it simple and have easy dinners that way we can spend more time outside. 

Monday | Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders...this is a new recipe that I am trying tonight and I'm pretty excited about it. It doesn't sound too complicated and there is a video on their page...so fingers crossed I don't mess it up and we end up having to go through a drive through ;)
Tuesday | Tacos and rice....I put down tacos and rice but I'm actually making these homemade crunchwraps! I made them a few weeks ago and they were delicious! The tostadas come in a big pack so I want to use the rest of them before they go bad, so crunchwraps it is!
Wednesday | Sausage and Cheese Tortellini Soup...I've said it a million times, but this is one of our favorite meals!
Thursday | Grilled Chicken and Baked Potato...Nothing fancy, but it's easy and delicious!
Friday | Homemade Pizzas....I made a cheeseburger pizza a few weeks ago that was delicious and I will be making that again because it was GOOD. I'll be sharing that recipe soon! Matthew always opts for a classic pepperoni pizza. The pizza crusts that I buy at the store come two to a pack so I make each of us our own pizza and then we have some for dinner and then the leftovers for breakfast or lunch on Saturday...two meals in one and it's cheap and easy to make!

WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK

One of my favorite bloggers, Katie, did a post like this a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be fun to do one too. So here's what we're eating this week!

I blogged about how we meal plan last year, and here is a quick look at our week!

On Sundays I try to cook a whole thing of turkey bacon or breakfast sausage patties to save time during the week, and all I have to do is cook the eggs in the morning. If we're having hard boiled eggs then I usually fix those the night before too. Side note about breakfast: I used to rarely fix breakfast during the week (#wifefail). We would just eat a nutri grain bar, yogurt, or nothing at all. That left us really hungry by time lunch rolled around so we would eat lunch super early which then left us STARVING around 4 in the afternoon. We usually don't eat dinner until around 6 or after (even later during Matthew's busy season). So it was one of my goals for this year to start making breakfast for us or having a breakfast option that would fill us up (and healthy snack options for the afternoon!). Some weeks I do really well with this and some weeks I really suck at it still, so it is definitely a work in progress lol. I have found that fixing the whole pack of turkey bacon or breakfast sausage on Sunday nights helps a ton with this! Sometimes I make a bunch of breakfast burritos and freeze them until we're ready to eat them, this helps a lot too. 

Usually our dinners make enough for leftovers and we eat those the next day for lunch. If it doesn't make enough then I'll just throw us a pb&j sandwich together or we'll grab something out. Last night I tried a new homemade spaghetti sauce recipe and it was delicious! It also made enough for a small army, so we'll be eating spaghetti for a couple of days lol. Next time I make it I am going to save half and freeze it.

Monday | Waffles and turkey bacon...I always end up making too many waffles so we'll eat those later in the week for breakfast!

Tuesday | Tacos and rice...Taco Tuesday is very much a thing in our home.  I do try to mix it up and do crock pot chicken tacos some weeks, This week though, it's regular tacos! A lot of times I'll just eat a cheese quesadilla and fix Matthew tacos. You just can't beat a cheese quesadilla lol.

Wednesday | Crock pot sausage and cheese tortellini soup....Hands down one of our favorite meals. We could eat this for days...and that's exactly we do! This recipe makes plenty and there is always leftovers. I like to do quick and easy meals on Wednesdays since we have church on Wednesday nights, so we usually do a crock pot meal, breakfast foods, or grilled chicken, a vegetable and brown rice. We haven't had this meal in a few weeks so tortellini soup it is ;)

Thursday | Leftovers....Usually one night a week we leave open for leftovers, I.hate.throwing.out.food. So I always try to leave one night available for leftovers, if closer to time I see we don't have as many leftovers as I thought then I'll do another crock pot meal with items already in the pantry and frozen chicken (I like to keep a 5lb bag of frozen chicken in the freezer at all times for these kinda nights!) or I'll pull out some grilled chicken from the freezer (Matthew grilled a few pounds of chicken a few months ago that we keep in the freezer for quick and easy meals) and fix some brown rice to go with it. 

Friday | Crock pot pork chops, green beans, and brown rice...We have some pork chops in the freezer that we bought a few months ago on sale, so I found this recipe on Pinterest and I'm excited for us to try it!

What are y'all having this week for dinner?
