Weekly Meal Plan {5/3} + A Giveaway

By 196 Comments

Happy Sunday to you all! I’m jumping right into our meal plan from last week because I want to get to the fun stuff at the end…and a rather yummy giveaway!

Sunday: Spaghetti and Meatballs

This was the last of our freezer meals from this recipe and was rather enjoyed by the whole family!

Monday: Burrito Bowls topped with avocado and sour cream

Recycled photo for this one because I was too hungry to go grab my camera. Winking smile

Tuesday: Turkey sandwiches with avocado, mayo, and veggies

Jay had a softball game on Tuesday night and had to leave fairly quick after getting home from work so we kept it simple with sandwiches. I mean, I always love me a good turkey sandwich, so it was no problem with me.

Wednesday: Grilled flank steak with baked sweet potatoes and green beans

We really enjoyed the simplicity of doing a meal like this the week before, so we planned one again. And I can tell you, we’ll likely have it again this week too!

Thursday: It was a softball night, so we both made ourselves quick peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to eat in the car on our way to the game. Such is softball season!

But hey, if you’re looking for another idea to try, check out some of my previous meal plan posts, OR…

Friday: Healthy Chicken Parmesan Burgers with baked sweet potatoes (leftover from Wednesday) and green beans

Those Chicken Parm Burgers are absolutely a family favorite over here! I made a few of them into mini patties for Lucas and he had two for dinner that night…so totally toddler approved over here!

Saturday: Pizza and snacks with friends!

Bonus Snack Giveaway – Just in the time for Mother’s Day!

I recently got this awesome package in the mail from Garrett Popcorn, called the “Mother’s Day Bundle of Joy” which features a One-Quart Signature Pink Tin of either White Chocolate Covered CaramelCrisp®, Milk Chocolate Covered CaramelCrisp®, or Dark Chocolate Covered CaramelCrisp®.

Garrett Popcorn

I opted for the dark chocolate and OH MY, is it dangerous. Jay and I sat down with it to watch a show the other night and we’ll just say that was dangerous…

Garrett Popcorn

The bundle also features a One-Gallon Blossom Tin of Garrett Mix®, which combines their CaramelCrisp with savory CheeseCorn. I honestly didn’t think I’d like the combo (because cheese and caramel just sounds…weird?) but it is surprisingly REALLY good. Jay’s obsessed with the stuff. Winking smile

  3. Popcorn is my favorite and this will be my 2nd Mothers Day and I will be working :( it's kind of bittersweet .. Im a labor and delivery nurse so although I'll be away from my family, I'll be helping others become Mothers :) I'm hoping my husband and son will bring lunch and maybe this can be dessert! Milk chocolate sounds amazing!

  7. We took our two sons to Chicago for the first time in April. Everyone said Garrett's popcorn was a must. It did not disappoint. I would love to win and share with my boys while we "revisit" our time in the Windy City!

  11. Your meals always look amazing! Burrito bowls and flank steak for the win!! Omg, now I want to makae burrito bowls but top with sliced flank steak and extra guacamole plus some tostidos thin and crispy chips. Mmm!!! I want to win the popcorn because I haven't had popcorn in ages! I grew up eating the stuff in the tins at Christmas/boy scout support/my dad would bring home tins from work during the holidays. Any kind of chocolate/caramel mixture can be dangerous, especially if chocolate covered cashews are involved!!

  63. This would be perfect! My mom and I took a girls' trip to Chicago (where Garrett's is - and where I now go to school!) a couple of years ago and we LOVED Garrett's. After long days of exploring the city, we'd curl up in the hotel room and watch too much Netflix while eating too much Garrett's. Such great memories <3
