Meal plans are wonderful, but life happens. Here is a review of last week's eats and how it all turned out.
Monday, I was supposed to make shredded chicken tacos. I was pressed for time and made chicken fajitas instead. It would have taken too long to shred chicken and take pics. It was nearing sleepy time for the baby. Betty Crapper was racing the clock and almost didn't make it. Oh the sacrifices Betty Crapper has to make when she procrastinates!
On Tuesday, we ate pepperoni pizza. Will I ever tire of homemade pizza? If you haven't made homemade pizza dough, what are you waiting for? It freezes really well.
Wednesday was a busy day for me and I was out and about running errands. It was way too hot and I was not up to cooking soup. We ate salad and bread instead.
Thursday, I made SnoWhite' three cheese ziti. Her recipe is fantastic and I highly recommend you try it. We will definitely have that on the menu again.
On Friday we ate chicken with warm tomato corn salad and white rice. Look for the recipe in an upcoming post.
Saturday and Sunday we did not cook and ate takeout and some leftovers. Oh well, better luck next week.
Meal Plan 7/5-7/11

Your meals sound great. I love spaghetti, taco, and pizza. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteYour Friday meal with the warm corn tomato salad looks absolutely delicious! It sounds like the eating's good on your end of the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great 4th of July!
Like you, I will never get tired of pizza. Looks like a great menu this week - hope you get around to making the soup.
ReplyDeleteI want to come eat at Betty Crappers house. The pizza looks delicious, I heart homemade pizza!!
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks great. We make ours too but I can't say it's ever looked like yours.
ReplyDeleteYea for taco nights!!
Great looking meal plan! You took some yummy pics, too!! Hope you have a great week!

The ziti looks divine. I'm adding that to my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do hope that you try those Pioneer Woman cookies. If it helps, my usual favorite cookies are the old Internet viral Neiman-Marcus cookies and, when I want to splurge, The Splended Table's recipe is my ultimate favorite.
I would have LOVED to have been at your house last week. EVERYTHING sounded very yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI'm making pizza tonight too--stepping out of the box and doing banana peppers with fresh garden tomatoes and spices...we'll see. I love how you post the previous week's turnouts.
ReplyDeleteJust love the way you do the meal review for the week with all the great photos. Sounds like another great week planned :-)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures always make me drool. Your blog is going to be my next cookbook after I finish obsessing over More With Less!!!!!!

I know- the chipotle mistake was definitely Betty Crapper...anyway, your food looks amazing. Truly...will have to try that Ziti.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever tire of homemade pizza :) Your meal plans look awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your blog has received the Sunshine Award. Stop by my blog to pick it up :) Congrats!
Um... I'm all embarrassed after reading your plan. Tonight's pizza is from Pizza Hut, but the toppings are pretty much what I normally put on homemades: pepperoni for DP, char grilled red peppers, fresh tomato, baby spinach, feta, onion and chicken for me and the kids.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today! Tacos are one of our favorite meals too.
ReplyDeleteMy family loves ground beef tacos. :) Great looking menu this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious looking menu you have! The warm tomato and corn salad looks absolutely mouth watering!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your blog! Everything I read is great, your little comments are so cute, and give me a smile, thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteI have been traveling around your site all morning and really enjoying myself.
Thanks again
I am excited to try out your pizza dough and freeze a ton! Love your blog!
