Happy Sunday! Everyone having a fabulous weekend so far?
Things are flying by fast over here, but all is going well. We’re headed over to my parents’ house this morning for a little brunch while watching the Jets game, and who knows what else is in store.
But for now, since it’s Sunday and all, here’s a look at what we ate last week!
Sunday: Chili with cornbread
Monday: Chicken Parmesan Meatballs baked with sauce and cheese with side salads
Tuesday: A cereal combo – Quaker Oatmeal Squares + Mini Frosted Shredded Wheat + bananas + almond milk
Cereal for dinner is just so. darn. good. sometimes.
Wednesday: Baked tilapia (we used Bumble Bee SuperFresh)with baked sweet potatoes and green beans
Thursday: Mini pizzas on Naan bread! A while back I bought a package of this Stonefire Naan on sale, not sure how I’d use it, and we decided to finally put it to use on a night where we weren’t sure what the heck we wanted to eat.
The pizza on the left was a BBQ Chicken and the pizza on the right was a Chicken, Bacon, Ranch made with red sauce. Both of them were insanely delicious, but the chicken, bacon, ranch was my favorite.
Friday: Pizza, salad, and wings, courtesy of my brother who stopped by to visit and offered to bring us dinner.
We thoroughly appreciated the dinner, and Lucas thoroughly enjoyed some extra time with his Uncle D. <3
Saturday: Jay and I enjoyed some time out solo, which included some drinks and snacks (plus a shared chicken fajita wrap) at the bar of Applebee’s.
Those pretzels with beer cheese dip…ohhhh, man are they good. We’re so fancy.
And that’s a wrap! How about you – anything good last week or on the menu for the week ahead? I need ideas…I’m starting to slack with the meal planning a bit!

We had a lot of easy one pot/little hands on time meals. Bison chili, easy veggie stew= aka ‘dump everything in a pot and let it go’, ham hock with potatoes and green beans (so good!), beef stew (slow cooker) and slow cooker chicken. <— Buy a whole chicken, remove wrapper and inside packet, pat dry, lay breast side down in crock pot, salt & pepper, place lid on pot and cook on high for 6 hrs min. This is totally something you can put on when leaving for work and let it go all day. no need to add water, no need to stir, flip, or reduce heat. Literally no one can mess it up. Guarantee the meat will fall off the bones! Eat with whatever side you like or use for salads all week long at lunch! ?
Happy Sunday Funday. Still praying for y'all. It's flooded here in Charleston and ☔? yucky!

I recently just dug through some of my saved post recipes and came across green tea infused rice and I can’t wait to try it!

Beer cheese dip?! Holy cow, sign me up! :D Last night I had coffee aioli for the first time, and it was definitely interesting to say the least! It was intended to be combined with parma ham, which is good with everything, but the extra kick from the coffee really amped up the flavor! I love all these creative dips :D

I feel the same way about meal planning. I’ve been going through my Pinterest boards. I’ve made this a couple times, and it is so good! http://iowagirleats.com/2014/10/13/creamy-cheesy-chicken-and-garlic-quinoa-bake/
I highly recommend it! I like making it in Sunday because it is a little extra prep time, but makes some awesome leftovers for during the week when the work day is over and your child only wants to be held and you need dinner to be done in 5 min <—our night. Every night. ;)

Here’s my plan for the week! I’m having a baby in t-minus 2 weeks or less so I’m using this week to double batch and stock up on freezer meals! http://www.livehalffullblog.com/2015/10/04/meals-and-workouts-104-1010/

Cornbread is a huge fave of mine! We are finally approaching the season when its appropriate so I’m pretty pumped to have it in my meals again. :)

I definitely will give those naan pizzas a try…genius! I’ve been loving meatloaf lately. I made a bunch of mini loaves and froze them so I can use them for quick dinners. I also made spaghetti squash lasagna and it was a hit!
