Meal planning for 4/28-5/2.
Eh. Better late than never!
Monday, 4/28. Balsamic marinated chicken breasts (I just use a balsamic salad dressing), brown rice and corn on the cob. The kids were SO excited to eat corn on the cob - except Sis kept asking if she could eat the stem part. I'm imagining a whole summer filled with tons of it. And I'm okay with it.
Tuesday, 4/29. BBQ pork, asparagus with salt and pepper and wild rice. I use this recipe - except I cut it in half, since we don't need that much. And I'm still amazed that my kids eat asparagus.
Wednesday, 4/30. Kids' Choice Night. RD will be home early with Bubba (from taekwondo), so he'll get to choose a variety of fried foods to be cooked up. Oh, and I'll insist sides of broccoli and strawberries. On these nights, RD and I usually fend for ourselves (I'm planning on making some home-fried potatoes and fried eggs).
Thursday, 5/1. Flank steak, roasted red potatoes, garden salad. For the salad, I'm thinking mixed greens, red onion, grape tomatoes, cucumber and oil/vinegar dressing. Something simple.
Friday, 5/2. Our Friday standby, Boboli pizza: cheese, pepperoni and onion. I'll pick up some corn and the cob, too, so I'll be the best mom ever. Just in time for Mother's Day.
wow. i'm coming to your house for dinner this week...:)
