looking to use a few things i have on hand as well as some items i picked up on sale last week. trying to incorporate a few more recipes that i’ve been wanting to try as well. luckily, i’ve had pretty good luck as of late!
meatless monday : veggie fajita burritos. i made these once before and they were a great filling meal to have on our meatless day. i bought six colored peppers on sale last week so i’m thinking i’ll double the recipe as the filling can easily be used for quesadillas for the girls or just as a yummy salad type lunch for me.
i’ve selected monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. my meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because i also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. what can i say, i’m nice like that.
tuesday : lasagna soup. another recipe from pinterest that i’ve been wanting to try.
wednesday : asian bbq turkey lettuce wraps. a family favorite that we haven’t had in a long time. everyone should be happy to ese it on the menu!
thursday : tacos. how can you go wrong with tacos?
friday : chicken tikka masala. this is andy’s favorite indian dish so when i noticed my neighbor and fellow foodie had pinned this recipe, i snagged it for my board as well. a perfect use for the chicken thighs in my freezer that are taking up space and need to be used.

new recipe reviews from last week :
spicy peanut noodles. the name of this one was more than a bit misleading. which in the end was okay as the girls loved having “peanut butter noodles” and i simply added siracha to mine to make it spicy. will definitely make again but perhaps add a few more veggies? really enjoyed eating the leftovers for a couple of lunches.
easy lemon chicken. talk about EASY! i didn’t put this in the crockpot until almost noon on friday and took me less than five minutes to get all of the ingredients together. i served it with whole grain couscous and green beans and everyone seemed to enjoy it. will definitely be making this one again soon.
cinnamon roll cake. i made this twice last week – once for our family and once for another family that i was taking a meal too. SO GOOD. and so much easier than making cinnamon rolls. i usually have everything on hand so this could become my go to dessert when taking someone dinner. i don’t think they’d mind at all!
