Before I go grocery shopping, I always like to look at our calendar and figure out what days we will be eating at home, what days will have to be something FAST at home, and what days we'll prob be eating out or on the fly! With my husband back in school 2 nights a week, sometimes it limits my "home Cooking!" Doesnt always make sense to cook something big for just me and the boys...those nights it usually consists of an easy kid friendly food for the boys and a salad or leftovers for me!
This week we are EXTREMEMLY busy with 0 nights free of a planned event!! So this weekend I made a lasagna for our "Christmas" with the in-laws, which has leftovers and an extra pan in the freezer for later use! Then we also have shrimp that they brought that we never ate, so tonight I am going to sautee those up with some fresh veggies and salad for me and the boys! I will also be doing bbq pork sandwiches in the crockpot for a ready to eat, quick dinner. We also have some chicken breasts in the freezer, that would be perfect for Thai Peanut Chicken Skewers. So without even grocery shopping this week, I have 4 meals planned! I would also like to make some fresh fish this week as well...my favorite Ahi Tuna Steaks from Trader Joes...so I will have to find time to get out there and stock up!
Since I am trying to eat more healthy options myself during the day to avoid what I like to call "Daycare Butt" due to all the high fat foods which are fine for kids, but not adults that I prepare and serve on a daily basis, I will also show you a few quick healthy ideas for snacks, breakfasts and one person lunches!
Todays recipes will be Egg Muffins, homemade lasagna and last weeks french dip sandwiches!
