Meal Plan; Week of 1/18
Better late than never. Juliana's first birthday party was yesterday so I didn't have a chance to plan our meals out. We also have a TON of left over chicken, beef and fruits so that will be the theme this week!
Monday
B- Mommy Moosli Website (the girls eat this too)
L- Goat cheese and apple butter sandwich with raisins
D- Ground beef quesadillas, avocado
Tuesday
B- Cheerios w/ banana
L- Elbow pasta with roasted broccoli
D- Mini pot pies Recipe
Wednesday
B- Eggs and turkey bacon
L- Pita pocket w/ turkey and cucumber
D- Spaghetti w/ meatballs, mixed veggies
Thursday (nanny)
B- Mommy Moosli
L- Left overs, EVOL frozen burrito (me)
D- Black beans, rice, egg and tomatoes
Friday (nanny)
B- Double Protein English muffin with goal cheese, eggs
L- Almond butter and banana sandwich
D- Chicken Chili (possibly done in the slow cooker)
Saturday
B- Cheerios with Raisins
L- Left overs
D- Oatmeal with banana and raisins
Sunday
B- Eggs with English muffins
L- Lunch meat (turkey) sandwiches
D- Steak and roasted veggies (potatoes/carrots/asparagus) Handy Guide for roasting veggies
Snacks throughout the week will be; avocado, cuties, apple, pear (a ton of fruit left over), veggie tray (also left over), mixed nuts, healthy banana muffins.
Thursday A will be with Dustin all day so he'll be taking care of her breakfast and lunch. I'll have J with me and she'll have what I'm having. Friday I'll likely need to make breakfast at my friends house while taking care of the children. It's too much of a rush to get out of the door after feeding both girls and my self, getting us all dressed and to my friend's house by 7:45/8am. (I'm even thinking I'll leave little J in her jammies and dress her there!)
Thursday and Sunday Dustin is off so he'll be having dinners with us then. And I'm still planning on sticking with my slow cooker meals every Friday. (Though I just broke my BRAND NEW crock pot after using it only once so there is that...)

Catching Up; NaBloPoMo
Well it's been a few days. It wasn't because I got tired of writing, I am really enjoying getting to my computer every day and finding some time to get my thoughts out there. Where ever there is. Who's reading this anyway? Feel free to leave comments! :-)
I've simply run out of time and been tired. It's been a busy few days and I'm to blame for it. Actually Fall is to blame for it. It's just been so incredibly nice out and I love being outside with the girls. I had our calendar pretty full last week with visits to different farms and pumpkin carvings. Plus I planned out our week of meals which took me forever this week as I was trying to find some new recipes to try out and I haven't been feeling all that great. I'm having some breastfeeding related issues and I think it's making me more sleepy and possibly even sick. So finding the time and energy lately to keep up with posting every day this month just didn't happen.
But here I am! I'm not giving up. I've missed sitting here writing. Even if it's just for me. It makes me feel better. There's a lot of thoughts in this head people and they can't all be in there alone, it gets overwhelming. ;-)
What I'd like to do now is head back over to Blogher.com and finish up some of the prompts that I've missed. If you're interested here is the direct link for the prompts. I'm going to use the ones I've missed as more of a Q&A. Mostly because some of these prompts wouldn't elicit a full post from me and some I just don't care about.
What dish did you dread being served as a kid? Did I answer this already? Lima beans. I hate lima beans. But we found out I am allergic to them so luckily my mom didn't insist on my eating them. Onions. I still hate them but I've been cooking with them so that Alivia and Juliana have an opportunity to eat them. But as far as a full dish...I'd have to say meatloaf. Ugh, just the name...
Is your least favourite food from childhood still your least favourite dish? Yes. You will never catch me eating meatloaf. Ever.
What was the first thing you ever learned how to cook? I don't know really. I'd have to ask my mother. See if she can bring back a memory for me. I remember making burritos at my dad's house because that was pretty much a staple there but it wasn't really cooking per say. It was chopping up the tomatoes, heating up the beans, getting the cheese, sour cream and lettuce ready and filled in the tortillas. I guess I was allowed to make the ground beef. I remember that now that I type this.
Have you ever invented your own recipe? What was your first one? No. I've altered recipes plenty of times. I usually stick to an exact recipe the first or second time I make it but generally after that I change it up to what works for us and our tastes...or what's on hand. I wonder if I'd like to make my own. It seems like nothing "new" could really be made right? I mean,...hasn't it all been done? Maybe I should look into that.
What do you consider your most successful dish? Oh,...maybe the chili I blogged about earlier this month. Do side dishes count? I think I'm pretty good at Thanksgiving and Christmas side dishes. I'm always looking for something different for our family. I got a lot of compliments on a sweet potato casserole a couple years back as well as some really good cranberry sauce. There's a few more, though I'd need to check Pinterest because that's where I've saved those meals.
What do you wish you knew how to make? Cheesecake. I've always wanted to know how to make cheesecake and for some reason I've been intimidated by it. I think it's the pan. The spring form pan.
I we registered for 2 of those pans for our wedding, 6 years ago, ... I know all of these questions are about cooking and cheesecake is to bake so to keep on theme I'd have to say salmon. I wish I could not screw up salmon. It's incredibly rare for me not to over do it and it comes out very dry.
Now things get weird over on Blogher prompts all of a sudden it's about gossip for this week? I've not followed all the way through on a month of posting with Blogher yet so maybe it's common for a completely random break away from topic but I thought it was strange lol.
That's where I'll stop for today. I feel good that I was able to get here and do this.
By the way, Wednesday is National Cheesecake Day so watch for a video coming up on my YouTube channel on that. And if you'd like to see the videos of us at the pumpkin patches that have kept me so busy head on over to my channel!
