This morning I worked up a menu for the week. I usually do it before the weekend is over and then go buy groceries but we had a very busy weekend. So I will have to go with all three kids in a bit! Won't that be fun?! It's a busy week in our home and I usually go crazy with so many things in one week but for some reason, it is not bothering me at all. When so much is on my plate, I usually try to figure out what I can get out of. There is nothing this week I want to miss! Incase you are struggling with what to cook for your family this week, here are some ideas!
Monday- Veggie Quesadillas with Pico de Gallo (click on the link)
If you have not read The Pioneer Woman Cooks, you MUST! I am adding all kinds of dishes to our menu because of her. I love her!
Tuesday-Swiss Steak (click on the link)
This is my Bible Study night and I do this recipe in the crock pot. It's easy on nights like this. The only thing I have to make are the mashed potatoes. I serve it over mashed potatoes and my husband loves it!
Wednesday- We don't usually have anything on Wednesday nights but we have a meeting this week and dinner will be at someone's house. I don't have to plan a meal!
Thursday-Pizza from Dominoes
I have rehearsal Thursday night and Mike, one of the guys in the band, gave Jeremy a very nice gift. He gave him a giftcard for Dominoes for him to use while I was at rehearsal this week. Mike has expressed to Jeremy his appreciation for taking care of the kiddos week after week while I rehearse. Isn't that nice? WOW! It was a gift to me too because I don't have to worry about dinner. :)
Friday-Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans
This recipe is my own and I don't even know where to begin when writing it out. It's all in my head! Yes, I have mashed potatoes twice in one week and my husband will be thrilled! It makes a ton so we will probably invite someone over for dinner. :)

My children love quesadillas. One day I had nothing but cheese, bacon and tortillas so I made them bacon quesadillas. They are now addicted. You would have thought I gave them candy they were so excited. Easy to make and easy to eat.
yUmMy I am hungry now... your awesome girl!
just read this menu for the swiss steak to my Jeremy and he said it sounds FABULOUS.. we are doing low carb so its a CAN have!!!
I love the Pioneer Woman Cooks, too! She inspires me with her food that a man would love:-)
(I am totally borrowing the swiss steak idea tomorrow; I have all the ingredients on hand so it wil be so easy in the crockpot.)
Ditto here - Pioneer woman fan for sure! Check out the smitten kitchen too! Good stuff there.
I am all over that quesadilla recipe!
