June 20- July 5 Meal Plan

Saturday- Spicy Sausage Pasta It didn't get made this week.

Sunday- Tacos

Monday- Crockpot Ribs

Tuesday- Oven fried parmesan chicken with a spinach salad

Wednesday- Baked chicken nuggets with dilly ranch dip

Thursday-  Chicken & Spinach Flautas

Friday- Homemade pizza

Notes:

- Parmesan chicken was really rich but it was good.
- Chicken nuggets were yummy, although I did not bake my breadcrumbs, I just baked the dipped nuggets on a stone pan. I really like the dilly dip that went with them.
- Chicken & Spinach flautas were not made as it was too hot to turn the oven on.

June 23-28 Meal Plan

Spicy Sausage Pasta A repeat meal that is a favourite here.

Coconut Lime Chicken A repeat from last week that was sooo delicious...and I want to use up the remainder of the coconut milk.

Greek Pizza on Panni Bread Stole from a friend's meal plan, looks delicious!

Sun Dried Tomato Pasta

* Fish with Carrot Fries. Mom loves fish so I've been trying to cook more of it and surprisingly it's not as bad as I thought!

Butternut Squash Lasagna Rollups I will be adding spinach to this recipe. Also, most likely omitting the bacon and pecans.



Notes:
- Loved the greek pizza and my son actually ate!
- Did not care for the sun dried tomato pasta...realized I am not a fan of cooking with sundried tomatoes.
- Carrot fries were amazing!!!
- Butternut squash lasagna rollups were delicious although veryyyy time consuming to make and I even skipped some steps. So unfortunately they will not be made very often.

June 16-21 Meal Plan

Sunday- Steak with Loaded Baked Potato Salad

Monday- Chilli  I made a double batch a few weeks ago and froze half of it

Tuesday- Coconut Lime Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower

Wednesday- Fish with Honey Dijon Roasted Potatoes

Thursday- Baked Chicken Mac & Cheese

Friday- Western Sandwiches for an easy Friday night:)


Notes:
- Loaded baked potato salad was amazing! I used red potatoes and did not peel them and I also added some feta cheese to use it up.

- Coconut Lime Chicken was sooo delicious!!! I didn't follow the directions to a T though. I did not half the chicken, I just cooked two small chicken breasts. I also did not add coriander (didn't have any) or hot sauce (to accommodate food preferences). I also didn't cook the sauce on the stovetop, I dumped the whole bag of chicken and marinate in the pan and cooked it. There was a  bit of sauce left for the rice but not much. Will definately make this again!!!

- Honey Dijon Roasted Potatoes were good but needed to be cooked longer than I did.

Monday 10 June 2013

June 9-13 Meal Plan

Sunday- Chicken Pot Pie This is a favoured recipe around here. For dessert I made this Healthy Peanut Butter Pie it was delicious. I opted to use a graham cracker crust as I already had the stuff for it.

Monday- Sweet Potato Crusted Fish With a cilantro lime  vinaigrette and fresh green beans

Tuesday- Steak with homemade sweet potato fries

Wednesday- Beef Stir fry with this Stir Fry Sauce

Thursday- Chicken Cacciatore Still have not used up the frozen leftovers

Thats it for this week as I will be away Friday and Saturday for my best friends wedding!!!! YAY!

Notes after making these meals-

- The fish was good but not as crispy as I expected and I found the vinaigrette to be too limey I'd only use one lime next time. I did realize from this meal though that I am capable of making fish and it's not as awful as I thought!

- Beef Stir fry sauce was wayyy too salty. I could not find oyster sauce so I used fish sauce so perhaps this was my mistake, regardless i will not make it again.

Sunday 2 June 2013

June 1- June 7 Meal Plan

Saturday- Homemade Chilli

Sunday- Chicken & Cheese Lasagna Roll Up's We didn't get a chance to make these last week

Monday- Eat out...Last night of swimming with the munchkin!

Tuesday- Honey Crusted Mustard Chicken Another one that was not made from a previous meal plan

Wednesday- Pulled Pork in the slow cooker using an Epicure seasoning mix. Serving with Carrot Salad

Thursday- Sweet Hawaiian Chicken I am not making it in the slow cooker as it calls though as I am only using 2 chicken breasts and I do not want it to burn.

Friday- Chicken Cacciatore I made this a few weeks ago and had leftover sauce which I froze so this will be an easy night.


Notes after making these meals:

- Loved the lasagna roll up's and you could put practically anything in them!

- Enjoyed the carrot salad, would make it again.
