Weekly Meal Plan {3/29}

By Courtney 23 Comments

Happy Sunday to you all! If you’re checking in today, then you probably noticed things are looking just slightly different around here. We’ve made a few updates, but for the most part, your reading experience shouldn’t be too much different. I’ll dive in to things a little more tomorrow, but for now, I’d love to hear any feedback you might have. Something looking funky? Something you’re liking? Let me know! You guys are the ones who come and read (thank you!!!) so I want to make sure your viewing experience is a positive one.

That said…it is Sunday and all, so let’s get to checking out last week’s meals. We had some good ones, for sure, and I was SO happy to be back to feeling more organized.

Sunday: Dinner out with family after my 2 Nana’s wake

Monday: Turkey bacon paninis with french fries

turkey BLT

It had been a long time since we last had a panini and it was soooo. good.

Tuesday: Chili with cornbread

We have a couple of leftover containers of chili in our freezer, so I just thawed one overnight, reheated, and cooked up a quick batch of cornbread (to make it even simpler, I used a box mix from Krusteaz).

Wednesday: Fiesta Bowl with Mexican Rice

IMG_9659

I got the idea for this recipe after seeing one just like it on the Trader Joe’s website. I made the Mexican Rice exactly as listed, and it is seriously some delicious stuff. It makes a HUGE batch, too, so you get lots of leftovers. I then just cooked some ground sirolin with taco seasoning, heated a bag of frozen corn (we were going simple here), mashed an avocado with some garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and tossed in some Mexican shredded cheese. I meant to do black beans too, but I forgot ‘em.

Thursday: Spaghetti & Meatballs

spaghetti and meatballs

When we first made this recipe a few weeks ago, it made enough to freeze two more meals worth (each meal about 2-3 servings) so I grabbed one out of the freezer and reheated. SUPER easy! My original plan was to serve mine over some zoodles, but apparently my zucchini was too big to fit in the spiralizer and it wasn’t working…? Then I tried cutting it in half and that just did me in. Ah well…there’s nothing wrong with regular pasta either. Winking smile

Friday: Pizza!

Saturday: TBD for now…BUT, if you’re in need of some ideas, here are a few favorites from the archives to try out!

  • Crab Cakes with Avocado-Mango Salsa
  • Double Duty Quesadilla Casserole (<—perfect for making one for now and freezing one for later!)
  • Bruschetta Chicken Bake (<—such an old recipe, which I should really re-blog, but it’s still a good one)
  • Chicken Souvlaki Pitas with Tahini Sauce
  • Light & Tasty Zucchini Casserole

So let’s hear it – what’s on the menu this week?

    I am loving the new look. Everything looks good on my end for the layout. I have been thinking about getting a spiralizer but haven't bit the bullet because I am afraid it will be so bulky and I won't be able to get it to work! I sometimes will use sautéed broccoli slaw instead of pasta. It does not look as pretty as thin zucchini noodles but it is delicious! I am planning on making garlic shrimp pasta this week. Looking forward to using leftovers for lunch!

    I typically read this from my phone and notice this morning that I can't shrink it to make it readable so part of the words on the side are cut off :-(

        So sorry guys, I was having that issue at first on my phone too. I cleared the browser cache and it seems to have solved the problem, but I'm still looking into it. Let me know if that works or not!

          I'm seeing the same issue. I have a Samsung phone, not sure if that makes a difference. .. but it does appear correctly on my Samsung tablet.

    Mmm that fiesta bowl looks crazy good! One of my favorite Mexican restaurants makes a margarita chicken rice bowl with Spanish rice, so I'm definitely going to try out the Spanish rice recipe!

    The blog looks great! It has a cleaner look and is definitely easier to read. All I've thought of so far for this week are two pasta dishes: macaroni salad, because we have a bunch of veggies that need to get used up and I'm craving summer weather, and homemade stuffed shells with spinach. Your fiesta bowl just may be one of our meals this week!

    I don't really like the display when you put something into the search bar, it makes finding the post you want a bit complicated but other than that all good :D

      Thanks for the feedback, Annie! Do you mean, when you're actually typing in to the search bar, or the search results you get after searching? Are the results coming back weird for you?

        I meant the search results. I seem to be able to see all the content of each page that comes up. For example if I type in "Wiaw" then I'll see the content of every Wiaw you did lengthwise which makes it a bit difficult to find the title of the post I'm looking for (I have to scroll down and look very carefully in order to not miss the next set of titles). Dunno if I'm being clear lol!

          Oh wait sorry, maybe it was just a glitch as everything is back to how it was before. Much better :D Sorry for the confusion! Loving everything else!
