Menu Testing by a 3 year old

The last 2 weeks have been like a tornado.

Spinning, huge...life changing.  At least for a little while.

I had a sketch of a menu last week, in my head, not on paper.

Tossed in a tried goodie and a new recipe.

Homemade meatballs over mashed potatoes with white gravy.

I based my meatball recipe on this one, with a few variations.  Like leaving out the onions.

This is a quick, easy meal; great to toss together after work.

Plus it is KID APPROVED!  Wil loved it, even asked for seconds.

I also tried a new crockpot recipe.

Crockpot Orange-Apricot Pork Chops

Source - A Year of Slow Cooking

This recipe is a breeze to dump in the crockpot on the run out the door to work.

I omitted the cloves, as I didn't have any in the pantry.

My chops cooked to pieces, hence her photo!  However, this is now in our meal rotation.

Wil's response on his first bite - YUMMMMmmmmm.  Kid approval stamp.

Served with baked sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli.

Great taste and the pork would melt in your mouth!

I decided this week needed more structure.  So here's my plan:

Sunday - My Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Monday - BBQ Sandwiches (pork roast cooked in crockpot)

Ranch potato wedges & slaw

Tuesday - Brunswick Stew (from leftover bbq)

Wednesday - Chicken Enchiladas with Mexican rice

Thursday - Broccoli Chicken Alfredo

Friday - Clean out the Frig

Saturday - Family Reunion (probably taking a chicken dish and dessert)

Need ideas on meal planning for your busy schedule?

Plus I have a master list of meals HERE.

So what's for dinner?????
