This week marks the first full week of our new fall schedule. That means both kids in school for part of the day, part of the week. Swim, gymnastics and soccer have all started. Mom’s night out is on deck for Thursday. And we pack up for a weekend away to watch our friends get married. A busy week so we will keep dinners simple and healthy to keep us on track.
Sunday~ Neighborhood Block Party (The healthy has to start after this event!) I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies and meatballs in the slow cooker. Yum!
Monday~ Homemade chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries and Annie’s pasta shells.
Tuesday~ Chimichurri steak tips, salad, roasted potatoes. (Fresh 20 inspired steak recipe)
Wednesday~ Soy ginger scallops, green rice (using leftover chimichurri sauce) and sauteed snow peas.
Thursday~ C.O.R.N. {Clean Out Refrigerator Night…Mom’s going out!}
Friday~ Pack up for the weekend away. Bring treats for family taking care of the big kids!
What are you making this week?
For more inspiration, see my past menus here, or the Pinterest board here, or OrgJunkie for a link-up of meal plans.
I love menu planning. I helps me stay organized and saves me a lot of money because I use foods from my fridge, freezer and pantry when planning recipes so I am not buying more food unless I need it. BTW…I love C.O.R.N! When I read it on your board I thought….wow that is a bit strange to have just corn for dinner but when I read it on your plan it made perfect sense – we do that too. I may have to steal it.
C.O.R.N. has made it into many menu planning routines now…even my husband refers to it this way now!
I love your abbreviation for leftover night! So cute! I’ll have to start using that for the days we do leftovers! I found you via organizing junkie, great meal plan, have a great week!
Thanks Kate! I like to think I can reinspire my leftovers into new dishes, but I really love the ease of just using up whatever is in the fridge to make sure we don’t waste anything. One less night of cooking is always appreciated!
Great meal plan – I love this!
