W- Madison requested “fish nuggets…since I like chicken nuggets and I like fish.” Will try making them the same way and just reduce the cooking temperature and duration. Served along with Alexis french fries and steamed green beans.

Monday may nearly be over but here is this week’s meal plan. I decided to take a holiday with the kids and enjoy some awesome fall weather. These days are numbered so get outside!
Monday~ Zesty Chicken and salad. {Turned into a leftover night as the chicken took twice as long to cook as the directions indicated….lots of chicken salad in our future.}
Tuesday~ Slow cooker chicken chili
Wednesday~ Meatloaf, sweet potatoes. Might do mini meatloaf muffins for the kids. I toss lots of veggies into my meatloaf and the kids don’t notice.
Thursday~ CORN {Clean. Out. Refrigerator. Night}
Friday~ Pizza {Daddy’s in charge!}
Saturday~ Pumpking Carving Party night!
Sunday~ Absolutely Onion Pot Roast (Wildtree Freezer Meal), carrots and egg noodles.

Ever try to make your own Tomato Soup? After reading the label on my favorite tomato soup, I decided to test out other organic options. Nothing ever hit the mark. I’ve cooked it before on the stove and never really been happy with the results. Finally tried it in the crock pot and it came out fabulous! I served it alongside grilled cheese sandwiches for a simple dinner one night, then added barley to it to make it into a lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 large Onion chopped.
- 1 stick of butter
- 28 oz Can of Whole Tomatoes
- 1/2 Cup White Wine I used Sauvingnon Blanc
- 1 Tbl Sugar
- 1 Tsp Dried Tarragon
- Sea Salt
- Sour Cream for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter on medium heat. Add onion and cook for about 15 minutes until softened. Stir often. (Or, set slow cooker to saute and complete this task in the main cooker.)
- Add tomatoes (do not drain), wine, sugar and tarragon into the crock pot. Add onion and butter. Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours.
- Puree using an Immersion Blender
- or in a blender in batches. Season with salt. Serve with cold sour cream.
