I hope everyone was totally spoiled on Mother’s Day!! I cooked for my Mom and the whole family and boy, was it yummy. We had Italian Sausage, peppers and onions, Herbed Potato and Green Bean Salad (it is Gluten Free and Dairy Free), Baked Beans, and Macaroni Salad. The Potato Salad was so delicious!
This week’s menu is going to focus on healthy and fresh meals.
- Monday - Hamburgers on the grill, steak fries, tossed salad
- Tuesday - Taco Pizza
- Wednesday - Peanutty Stir-fry Salad
- Thursday - Breakfast for dinner. Scrambled eggs, hash browns, fruit salad
- Friday - my daughter’s and I are traveling to a gymnastics competition. Dinner for us will be healthy-ish take out. I’ll make baked macaroni and cheese for the boys to heat up.

Yesterday while heading to the mall with my youngest we saw this beautiful rainbow. I am glad I had my camera with me to capture it for my daughter.

Apologies for not posting my menu last week - life got crazy, I overlooked my menu planning routine, and we paid for it all week long! Since I am solo parenting this week, I know I have to be organized but have also taken all the input and inspiration for this week’s meals directly from the kids.
Yesterday morning I made my plan, made my grocery list using the coolest mobile application ever - SplashShopper (go read my review) and headed to the grocery store. It feels so much better to enter the week organized!
- Monday - its Cinco de Mayo - Taco salad bowls (I even bought the big taco salad shells for this) and Churros (having your own Cinco de Mayo fun? Here is a Cinco de Mayo coloring page for the kids)
- Tuesday - Healthy take out due to crazy sports schedules. Noodles and Co., Baja Fresh or Tropical Smoothie will most likely be it.
- Wednesday - Easy Shrimp Stirfry with rice
- Thursday - BLT sandwiches, Tomato Soup and Veggies with dip (or hummus for mom)
- Friday - Make your own pizza night and fruit salad
