What's For Dinner Wednesday!!

Some weeks I am inspired to choose more than enough meals for the week. I’ll be trying to decide which 7 meals I should plan for because 10 are “speaking to me” this week and they all look good/are in budget/have ingredients on sale. This week: blech. 😝 I can’t come up with any ideas. Nothing looks good. Chicken again?!

But it’s called LIFE, and that’s just how it goes sometimes. This week was a struggle to make my list, but these are all tried and true recipes we can always count on to be yummy.  Let me know if you make any of these, I’de love to know how it goes. Happy planning, list making, shopping and cooking!

Wednesday	Hamburger Stroganoff Veggie This is a go-to at our house for sure. I sub plain, Greek yogurt with a squirt of lemon juice for the sour cream.
Thursday	Ritz Cheddar Chicken Veggie I omit the sauce on this-it really doesn't need it, and my kids just want ketchup anyway.
Friday	Salmon Rice Veggie I make salmon a couple different ways, but will probably just broil this with a little orange juice, soy sauce and brown sugar mixture on top.
Saturday	Verde Chicken Enchiladas Avocado, beans, salsa, and chips
Sunday	BBQ ribs in the crockpot Potatoes-sweet potato fries, baked potatoes, roasted reds (whichever’s on sale) Veggie
Monday	Chicken, bacon asparagus pasta I make this with whatever pasta I have, usually penne. I also will sometimes sub frozen peas, green beans, brussel sprouts (cut up) for the asparagus.  I have also revisited this recipe just to make that alfredo sauce for other pastas.
Tuesday	Breakfast for dinner: eggs, bacon, homemade biscuits

What's For Dinner Wednesday!!

Hey friends! Here's the Smith dinner line up for us this week. I am having a girls weekend this weekend (woot woot!) so Brian and the kids are on their own, and I'm off the hook for two dinners this week. BUT, in case you are interested, I'll link two of my favorite recipes for you to check out for your menu.

As mentioned last week, I only list "veggie" on some of my meals. I will just choose whatever looks good and is affordable when shopping.

Wednesday	Chopped salad with grilled chicken, fruit (chicken breasts are $1.79/lb this week!)
Thursday	Zucchini “noodle” lasagna with spinach (zucchini is 2 lbs/$1! I'll use leftover sausage from last week's pizza night, and leftover ground beef from taco night)
Friday	Mom's Weekend!
Saturday	Mom's Weekend!
Sunday	Pork Loin Roast*($1.99/lb), rice, veggie *I have never made that recipe, but may try it this week. The ingredients are all things I have on hand, and the flavor will go well with the Lo mein I'm making later in the week.
Monday	Meatloaf muffins, veggies
Tuesday	Pork Lo Mein, egg rolls (I'll use leftover pork loin from Sunday)

Here's two recipes that are staples over here and are a hit with the whole family:

This sesame chicken is SO yummy. We have this with rice and carrots, or broccoli. Carrots are always super affordable.
Sesame Chicken

This is a one-skillet meal. Love those. Since chicken and zucchini are on great promotions this week, this is a great choice for this menu.
Tex Mex Chicken Zucchini Skillet
