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.

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.

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!

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!

Monday- Eat out as we have swimming class

Tuesday- Chimichangas

Wednesday- One Pot Cumin and Smoked Paprika Chicken

Thursday- Steak!! We are on a huge kick of this, sooo yummy!!

Friday- Chicken and Cheese Lasagna Roll Up's



Notes after making the meals:

Chimichangas were great! I only put butter on one side of the tortillas then brushed them once they were rolled up. Also, I did not cook them in the oven as long as they directed as the tortillas were getting quite crunchy.

We LOVED the One pot cumin and smoked paprika chicken although I would add another veggie to the mix.
