Two week of Meals

Mom whats for Breakfast? Mom whats for Lunch? Mom, Mom whats for Dinner? Can I have a snack?

Its seems like my day can completely get taken away with these question. I can spend half my day in the kitchen figuring out what to make and then cooking. This is an area I need to get organized and under control. I have tried different methods some of them have worked other have not.

This is what I'm going to try now. I have made list of 14 different dinners. So I have 2 weeks worth of dinner written down and I shopped for all that I would need to make them. I don't assign my meals a day because I like to change my mind. I do check my list the night before to see what I want the next night so I can pull anything from the freezer to thaw and take note of any fresh veggies I will need to pick up.

• Oven Roasted Chicken with steamed veggies
• Sweat and Sour Pork Chops (croc pot) with rice (rice cooker) and steamed broccoli
• Pasta with Sun-Dried tomato pesto sauce
• French Bread Pizza and salad
• Spaghetti and meatballs
• Pot Roast w/ potatoes and carrots
• Enchiladas made with leftover meat from Roast
• Potato Soup (croc pot) and homemade bread
• Tortilla Soup (croc pot) and salad
• Shepherd's Pie and steamed Broccoli
• Chili (croc pot) and baked potatoes
• Baked Chicken and corn
• BBQ Chicken (croc pot), with rice or mash potatoes and corn
• Lemon Pepper marinated Chicken (croc pot), rice and green beans

I have tried this with 1 week of meals and it went really well so I hope it works just as well with 2 weeks.

I'll try to start adding some of my recipes.

Kitchen Fun Part 2

Last Monday we had a game day. I also decided to make sandwiches a bit more fun.

We had leaf shaped PB & J or tuna fish.

We also had pumpkins and acorns. Josh loved the shaped sandwiches he ate 4 that day.

My baby boy. So cute.

Kitchen Fun!

JoAnna and Joshua helped me make cookies.

Ezra enjoying the fruit of their labor.
JoJo enjoying a beater. Its all over her chin.

Josh enjoying his beater.

How cute can she be. It was so much fun cooking with a little girl for the first time. Josh and Jo took turns putting the ingredients in and the did great about taking turns.

Once the dough is done its all over. Everyone has to have multiple finger dips and licks.
