Menu Meals

If you are new here, you will come to realize that I am a planner. With saying that I take that word lightly. I do organize, make notes, plan in my mind and keep my fingers crossed it makes it to a piece of paper. If you followed along before, you will remember the weekly menus I prepared.

Being transparent - I will tell you that I may make a menu but after a hectic day; we just pick up dinner. This single mom role is not for the faint of heart. I have learned to just roll with it. We take days by day and minutes by the minute. Anything can change; just being real. I do like to plan though especially for the grocery store trip so that I do not find myself giving my debit card to the cashier. Grocery stores can take all the money in one trip. You are probably like me and buy things that no one needs, but that special is just too hard to pass up or you convince yourself three aisles down that you really need those Oreo cookies. Girl, buy the cookies.

Our life is crazy. I am not going to sugar coat it. It is a beautiful chaos sometimes. Between working long hours, Dav's extracurricular activities, sports and more - we are on the go. Our little hashtag for our family is #gogogo. I even have to look at my calendar for that - where I am suppose to be and with what child. Geeze.

So, I try hard to plan our meals. I really feel that dinner time is important and if I can get just a good 45 minutes to an hour with my two babies at the same table to hear about their days and what is going on at school - I consider myself a lucky mom. I want to see those precious faces as much as I can. We truly only get a good three hours after work every day (if I do not have to work over) and that time is precious and we use that time wisely. And, our menu is not fancy. It is all about the planning to someone make the evenings a little less chaotic. Most of the time it will be their request.

With my return to blogging, this is the menu items for this week.

Monday: marinated Pork Chops with green beans and mac-n-cheese
Tuesday: Taco Tuesday! 
Wednesday: grilled Chicken with veggies over garlic noodles 
Thursday: Sandwiches, chips and fruit (they choose their sandwich type and we assemble them together)
Friday: with their dad 
Saturday: with their dad 
Sunday: Sloppy Joes and fries

I do hope that you have a wonderful week and even better week!
