Bing Family Menu for the Week of 11/1

What a great blog!  Thanks for inviting me Kathy!!  Here was/is our meal plan for this week:

Monday:  White Chicken Chili- This is a little spicy but shockingly not one of my kids complained.  I always double this recipe.  It is quick and easy to make.  

Tuesday:  Spaghetti and Meatballs with a salad.  My mom is 100 percent Italian.  There is no actual written recipe, but one of these days I will pay close attention when I make it and write it all down.

Wednesday:  Chicken Fajitas with homemade flour tortillas.  Making your own tortillas adds an extra 20 minutes to your meal prep, but it's worth it.  You can make the tortillas without a tortilla press, but the press makes it go a lot faster.  I got mine off Amazon for around 30 dollars.  The recipe calls for whole wheat flour and coconut oil but I substitute regular white flour and I use vegetable oil instead.

Thursday:  Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Asparagus

Friday:  Pizza

Have a good weekend,
Christen

  1. Oh my gosh, Christen, I had no idea your Mom was Italian! Where in Italy is her family from? I love Italy! :). Yes, you need to take pity on those of us whose families are from the cold, dark northlands (I am Swiss and German, and Liam is Irish . . . . We can make sausage and chocolate and drink a lot of beer, but fine cooking? Not so much!). I would LOVE an insider "class" on Italian food. Hey! Why don't we do a "girls night" at your house, and you and your mom can cook us all dinner??! :). Sounds perfect to me. Matt can watch the kids and then do the dishes, right? All kidding aside, I would love a recipe for sauce at some point. I have a pretty good meatball recipe, but the sauce has always been difficult for me.
