Hi friends!
Last week was our first week back to school after Christmas break. It was a good reminder of why I usually try to have dinner ready before the kids get home from school. We don't have much time between school and after-school/evening activities. Life is much better, happier, smoother, less chaotic, etc. if I'm not frantically trying to make dinner after school. Then I can focus on the kids and hearing about their day, helping them decompress from school, start on their homework, etc.
We had a few unplanned easy meals last week, like pancakes, breakfast burritos, and french dip pitas. I'm hoping that I've planned this week's menu a little more realistically.
I'm excited to have Navajo Tacos this week. It's been a while since I've made them.
They're one of the few "fried" recipes that I make (where I fry something in oil). Orange chicken is our other special, favorite fried recipe.
Thanks to Julia & Meagan for posting your menus last week. I have the sweetest friends/family who humor me by posting their menus. :)
Menu time...
Monday: spaghetti
Tuesday: navajo tacos
Wednesday: Grandma Marianne's pizza
Thursday: baked potato soup, salad
Friday: feeding the missionaries, BBQ chicken tinfoil dinners, salad, fruit, chocolate pudding cookies for dessert
Saturday: sausage & potato bake
Sunday: kalua pork
