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
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.
