What’s cooking ~Meal Plan #Recipe

We are officially back to school, for everyone! This will take some time to adjust for all of us, 3 kids in school and two have a bus pickup at 6;30 AM. Yup… I see a 9PM bedtime for all of us in the near future Smile.

This week we will keep our Menu plain and as simple as we can. We still have a lot of things to get used to in the afternoon so dinner is the last thing I want to worry about.

Last week we had Chicken Meatball Subs and they turned out amazing; did you check them out yet? I had an extra roll of Tyson Ground Chicken in the fridge so I found a great recipe that we will try this week and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Kind of liking the ground chicken and may make that more often for dinner (except the Teen of course, he’s allergic to chicken, he will get beef).

Monday:             Chicken Leek & Couscous stuffed Peppers with salad

Tuesday:           Nutty Pear and Blue Cheese Pasta Salad with Pork Chops

Wednesday:       Shrimp Tacos with fresh Salsa and fresh guacamole

Thursday:         Emeril’s Rigatoni with Broccoli and sausage

Friday:              Greek Ground Chicken Burgers and German Potato Salad 

Saturday:        Crockpot BBQ Beef sandwiches with Salad

Sunday:            Mom’s night off ~ Dinner at Mimi’s house Smile

And since we are all heading back to school and need to make lunches; I decided to post a few Lunch ideas to get you going, too. I know making lunches at home is a lot cheaper then buying school lunch and a lot healthier, too.

Make your own lunchables
Butterfly lunches  
Pineapple Fries and Berry Ketchup

Spinach Chicken salad
Simple Wraps 

Now you know we are dishing up this week. I told you it will be simple and sweet yet delicious and healthy. Should be a good week for us to adjust back to a school routine. What are you dishing up? Would love to hear your ideas and in case you need some more dinner recipes, be sure to visit I’m an Organizing Junkie at her Meal Plan link up, many more amazing recipes for you to check out.

    I love couscous but never thought about using it as a filler. Great idea and thanks for sharing that. Love the butterfly idea as well. Thanks again.

    Wonderful meal plans! I make them for two weeks at a time, had to make some back to school ones this week too, they will be quick and fun until we get the routine down again for the busy school days!

    I love the photo of the kids. I’m sure they were thrilled to get back to school and see all their friends. The Greek ground chicken burger looks delicious.
