I can’t believe how fast last week has gone. Now here we are at Monday already. I had a great and really tasty menu started for this week but after last week I have so much leftovers that I think that is what the girls and I will be eating for most of this week.

Little man is checking out his loot for the first time.

Santa brought Silly girl a big girl bike. She loved it so much she kept riding it all through the house.

So my so tasty menu has been put off until next week and here is my newly updated menu:

Monday ~ leftovers

Tuesday ~ leftovers

Wednesday ~ left overs

Thursday ~ tacos

Friday ~ ~~Chicken~~ turkey enchilada casserole (using up leftover turkey)

Saturday ~ nacho buffet

Sunday ~ chili mac

Hopefully this next week isn’t as busy and crazy. I am still cleaning up the house and the all the dishes.

I’m ready for normal, whatever that might be.

I am cooking 2 big Christmas dinners this week and so made the decision that I didn’t want to cook anything that would leave me with leftovers and fill my refrigerator up. And thus this is the reason for this weeks menu.

Monday ~ left overs

Tuesday ~ homemade personal pizzas

Wednesday ~ grilled ham & cheese with fries

Thursday ~ leftovers, make Christmas cookies for Santa, make cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast

Friday ~ turkey, rolls, broccoli casserole, scalloped potatoes, stuffing, carrot soufflé, pie

Saturday ~ stuffed pork tenderloin, cheesy bacon green bean casserole pot pie, rolls, twice baked potato casserole, squash, pies

Sunday ~ chili beef stuffing or left overs

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas this week and travel in safety. I’m very lucky to be able to stay home and not travel at all.

I have let the time get away from me again and now here we are on Tuesday and I still don’t have a menu put together. I guess it’s time to get to work.

For the last three weeks or so I’ve pushed myself to make sure I made a menu and that has helped me to know what to cook and pushed me to cook good while dh is away at work too.

The girls and I eat with out Papa Bear at least 3 nights a week and I’ve been trying to find different kid friendly dinners for us. This has been a challenge mostly because I’m trying not to eat hot dogs and chicken nuggets every night. I’m trying to cook us more real food on those nights too.

This is what I have for this week so far:

Monday ~ hot dogs and fruit
Tuesday ~ chicken nuggets, cheesy quick taters pizza pocket
Wednesday ~ chicken pesto pasta
Thursday ~ meat loaf, potatoes, broccoli
Friday ~ fajita skillet supper
Saturday ~ left overs
Sunday ~ pulled pork sandwiches

This is officially the last week before the week of Christmas chaos. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes next week.
