This week, when I asked my kids for input into what we should eat, I was met with a table full of blank stares. Needless to say, this wasn’t encouraging.
Clearly, a dose of inspiration was needed.
One of my kids grabbed a kid-friendly cookbook and started calling out recipes. Pretty soon, the meal plan was done.
Sometimes, you just need a jolt of inspiration to get things moving.
Sunday
Enchiladas – basically tortillas stuffed with rice, beans, veggies, and cheese covered in this yummy sauce. Then, add more cheese and bake. Freezes well, too!
Quesadillas
Monday
Dairy leftovers
Tuesday
Meat leftovers – Large meals over the weekend means multiple meals made from leftovers. Extras will find there way into lunches for the rest of the week.
Wednesday
Pizza
Thursday
Scrambled eggs
French toast casserole – Simpler than dredging leftover bread in milk and eggs.
Friday
Hot and sour soup
Drunken hasselback salami
Cornish hen with sherry, orange & rosemary – sounds complicated but is really easy.
