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.
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…
- Healthy Taco Salads with Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing
- Healthy Roasted Potato and Veggie Salad
- Baked Chicken Tenderloins with Orzo and Peas
- Sweet Corn and Chicken Enchiladas (<—these look SO good!!)
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®.
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…
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.
So lucky for YOU guys, Garrett Popcorn would like to offer a Mother’s Day Bundle of Joy to a lucky STSL reader!

I’ve never tried this but would love to! Caramel and cheddar?! I’m in!
I’d love to give this to my sister for part of her Mother’s Day gift!!
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!
I’d love to win simply because it involves dark chocolate and caramel! =)
Sounds so good! Would love to win for a mothers day gift for my mil!
I’d love to win because I love popcorn and would love to try it!!!
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!
Caramel corn is one of my favorite desserts/snacks, so I am thrilled at the prospect of trying a new-to-me brand like Garrett! It sounds and looks divine.
I would love to win this popcorn bundle in celebration of my first Mothers Day and surviving the first month with a newborn!
I’d love to win this popcorn, because I LOVE popcorn. It’s such a tasty treat, and since popcorn is a whole grain, it’s nutritious, right?!? :)
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!!
I’ve never tried this popcorn, but know it would be the perfect addition to the other small goodies I’m giving my mom for mother’s day!
garrerts is the best! I always have to get it when I travel to chicago. It’s my first Mother’s Day and my husband knows I’m obsessed with popcorn too. Would love to win this!

What a great Mother’s Day treat! I’d love to win! :)

Would love to win this for my mom! We both are popcorn obsessed
Ooh, I tried the cheddar and caramel popcorn once at the O’Hare airport (it’s really popular at one store there?) and it was crazy addictive!
Garrett’s popcorn is something that we always try to go to and get when we go into the city. My mother loves the popcorn. Any of the flavors favor her. She has been through a lot in the last few years so why not make her happy with a taste of the Good Stuff (as she and my father call it).
I want to win to give it to my family!
we love popcorn in our family, and I think my mom would really enjoy it
I would like to win the popcorn because I just discovered the goodness of cheddar and caramel popcorn together! Amazing! Also, anything covered in dark chocolate is fine by me! :)
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
I’d love to give this gift to my brother!!
Popcorn is my mom’s favorite food! I get to see her for the first time in months on Mother’s Day, and this would be amazing.
I would LOVE to give this to my Mom for Mother’s Day! She LOVES Kettlecorn. In fact, I have fond memories of us, together, going to Christmas Bazaars each year, and she’d always go home with a big bag of it to share. If I won this giveaway, I’d definitely choose the Dark Chocolate. Like her, we are both big chocolate fans!
I would like to win the popcorn because I love flavored popcorn’s and it would be a fun addition to our family movie nights :)!!!
I can’t lie I would LOVE the dark chocolate, but I would give the caramel/cheese mix to my father in law who LOVES popcorn!
garretts is my favorite thing to get back home in Chicago. Would love to have some delivered! Try microwaving the cheese and Carmel mix for a few seconds, makes it even better
I love popcorn and this looks like an AMAZING treat!
