Menu Planning | Week Of May 14th, 2018

Happy close-to-the-end of Week In The Life™.

Here's a look at what I'm planning to cook for dinners this week - this is a week where kids will be in and out vs. all here for the majority of the week:

• Monday // Chipotle (one of the kids' schools is having a fundraiser on this night)

• Tuesday // Roasted salmon + broccoli using Nom Nom Paleo's Sesame Ginger Sauce from Ready Or Not (planning to use any extra to make her Asian Zoodle Salad with the leftover salmon + zucchini noodles for lunch)

• Wednesday // TBA

• Thursday // Sheet Pan Thai Salad from Shape magazine

• Friday // Garlicky Greek Lamb Skillet from The Healing Kitchen

Reviews from new recipes last week:

• Meatloaf Meatballs from Meals Made Simple // The meatballs + sauce were a total hit but the mash not so much (did a turnip + parsnip mash). Would totally make the meatballs agin.

• Instant Pot Mexican Chicken Soup from Against All Grain // Very decent reviews from the crew for this soup. Elliot and Aaron and I loved it and the rest of the kids ate it with prompting. A couple felt like it was too spicy.

• Dairy Free Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo // Simon, Aaron and I ate this and it was really good. Simon gobbled it up. Definitely a comfort-feeling food that would be great in the winter months.

• One-Pan Kielbasa Veggie Bake With Potatoes // Super hit around here. Everyone loved this and next time I'll need to double the recipe. I used chicken sausage with spinach.

Have an awesome week!
