First of all I have to show off a photo of my girls. These girls have such a special relationship. Kate is 10 years older than Madeline but they adore each other.
My BFF Adrien took these photos the other day when we were visiting.
Good news! This week I plan to eat. Last week was crazy hectic and I had a bit of a food breakdown. We ate out 5 times. Yes 5 times and it was wonderful! This week I am prepared.
Good news! This week I plan to eat. Last week was crazy hectic and I had a bit of a food breakdown. We ate out 5 times. Yes 5 times and it was wonderful! This week I am prepared.I am trying more easy partially pre-cooked meals. Yes I know that is bad for my cholesterol but I need meals FAST, really fast!
Monday: Meals in the car. I purchased Ziploc containers with dividers. Little wrap sandwiches with tortilla's around chicken nuggets. Side of fruit and chips.
Tuesday: Nacho's with Oscar Meyer pre-cooked southwest chicken. Super easy and good! Keeps me away from Chili's Classic Nachos I just make my own.
Wednesday: Chicken Stir Fry. I am trying out a Wanchai Ferry dinner kit, I had a coupon. We got the Kung Pao chicken. All you add is the chicken. This saves me from stopping at Pei Wei.
Thursday: Brisket and Tator Tots. I purchased the package of Sadler's BBQ Brisket. We love this stuff we're from Texas Yall!
Friday: Pizza Night. We are starting our new religious education small group at our house. We will pick up Little Cesar's Pizza $5 each for a large.
Next week I plan to make some crock pot meals. Calling all crock pot recipes!!! Please send them my way!

I just bought a new crockpot this weekend! I'm looking for recipes too. Let me know if you find any good ones. My problem is going to be finding ones that the kids will actually eat!
LOVE crockpot meals!! Makes life so easy, especially if you cook and freeze your meat in advance!
Here's one of mine:
1 can or 1 pkg of corn
1 can of beans (any kind you like, we have used black beans and pinto, we love the pinto)
1 lb of hamburger meat
1 pkg taco season
1 can rotel
Cook the meat and add toco season to it, then drain evrything but the rotel and throw in the crockpot together! Cook until warm or simmer all day, doesn't matter either way! I have eaten just the mixture or throw it in a tortilla! Simple!! Delicious!
Thank you for all of your wonderful meal plans:) I hope to get you the other photos of little miss soon!
I'm trying your Mexican Lasagna tonight--can't wait!
Love the picture:) They are such sweet girls!
