One look at our calendar for the week and I’m already looking forward to the weekend. It’s going to be a busy one! Another short week of school, dentist appointments, parent/teacher conferences, etc.
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week :
Meatless Monday : Easy Beer Mac and Cheese. I may have a slight obsession with cooking with beer lately. Such a great depth of flavor! A new recipe for us. Can’t wait to give it a try!
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 : Pomegranate Chicken Rice Bowls. I love how easy these bowls are to put together. Everyone can put in a little extra of their favorites. That would be the pomegranate seeds for me!
Wednesday : Chicken Meatball and Orzo Soup. A Pinterest find, this one looks absolutely delicious.
Thursday : Muffin Tin Mango Meatloaf. I made the mistake of not doubling this recipe the first time. My two youngest – the three year old and 20 month old – were begging for more. Such a great flavor combination of sweet and spice.
Friday : Gooey Marshmallow Funfetti Cookies. This week, Friday night is movie night in our house. That means a dinner smorgasboard of popcorn, cheese, summer sausage, applesauce squeeze pounches – basically snack foods that can be eaten easily for a living room picnic – and something yummy for dessert. These cookies look like they’ll do the trick!
Looking for a great dessert this week?
