Back to the Grind

Football season is here...which means lots of odd schedules, going many different directions and limited time to eat together.

Once we're back at work, I have to be on top of my meal-planning/grocery shopping.  I'll only have 1 chance on Sunday morning to go to the store without all 3 kids in tow.  I've been turning to Pinterest for most of my recipes.  Some are big hits, and others...not so much.

This is what I've made this week:

Monday - Spinach Tomato Tortellini - I subbed greek yogurt for the heavy cream.  It was good, but the girls wouldn't touch it (too many vegetables visible!)

Tuesday - Baked Chicken Fajitas - these were good and EASY!  The girls ate this, but thought it was a little spicy.

Wednesday - Crockpot BBQ Chicken - YUM!  I shredded it up and served it on buns.  I also made these potatoes which have been quite a hit in our house.

Thursday - leftovers!  All of these recipes made a lot of extra which is nice to give me a break.

Friday - Out

Saturday - Out

Sunday - Celebrating Pops' Birthday!  Homemade Smoked Brisket - yummy!

I'm going to try to keep up my meal planning on here.  It's great to look back when I run out of dinner ideas.
