Last week, I ended up only making a few of the meals I had planned. 🙁 They were pretty tasty too! One night we had grilled cheese, tomato soup and spinach salad because I think we were tired (lazy) after organizing all day! Sometimes you just have to have to quick backup meals on hand!
Like I mentioned last week, we decided to “theme” our weekly Sunday dinner at my parents house by creating Chinese food (for Chinese New Year). I brought along some Fried Rice (I made it without any meat since we were going to have a lot of meat dishes already. It was also only okay.) and Almond Chicken. I’ll post that recipe soon! Our dinner was a success and so much fun!
As I also mentioned last week, my Mom and I were picking up our first produce boxes on Thursday. I must say that I’m very impressed with the amount and quality of the food! We ended up getting some green leaf lettuce, spinach, bok choy, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, broccoli, oranges, apples, and bananas. We actually think we won’t order as much next time, since it could be hard to use some of it up before it goes bad.
That all said, here’s what’s on our menu for this week:
- Leftover Chinese food
- Baked Pesto Chicken, roasted veggies, salad (carried over)
- Shredded French Dip, Quinoa Vegetable Pilaf (carried over)
- Fettucine Alfredo, Greek salad (strange combo…but I have to use the cucumber and tomatoes!)
- out to eat (usually our Friday thing)
- Saturday is usually a fend for yourself night.
- Sunday at my parents
What do you have planned for your menu this week?

I picked up the Better Homes & Gardens Skinny Slowcooker cookbook. I tried to do the whole week with the slowcooker, but it was a bit much. The recipes are great though! Four nights were slow cooker nights, two nights I whipped up something else with what I bought for other recipes and one night pizza.
