This Weeks Eats

Hello, I hope your week back from Thanksgiving break is going smoothly. This week I am going to do a trial run of Pinterest eats. I found this meal planner and have been using it for about a month now. 

It has been a crazy week back at school. Yes, I realize it is only Tuesday night, but I think everyone was exhausted after the first day back yesterday. The first two nights have gone great, a little rushed, but still good. This weeks menu is pretty fantastic if you ask me.

Monday: Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Tuesday: Crock Pot Chicken & Gravy

Wednesday: Pork Chops w/ Wild Rice

Thursday: New Orleans Pasta & Sausage 

Saturday: Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin

Mondays Beef & Broccoli was okay. The sauce thickened up a lot quicker than I thought it would. Also, I didn't tenderize the meat I may need to do that next time. Tonights Crock Pot Chicken & Gravy was really good. We had mashed potatoes with it instead of rice. Having rice three nights in a row might have been too much rice for one week. Tomorrow we have Pork Chops with Wild Rice. I have made this before it is one of my all-time favorites. 

If you get a chance to try these recipes please let me know how they turned out.

Here is a link to a printable shopping list. All you have to do is fill in the bubble. I feel like I stick to my list more than I did when it would be written out.

Send Me Recipes

Hi everyone, my name is Dori and I am going to try to hopefully carry out a year full of Pinterest recipes. Why would I do that? Well, making the same things over and over gets boring. Wanting to change things up is challenging, especially if you have picky eaters in the house. I also like to know what I'm making for the week and stick to it. Want to stick to a meal plan go check out my Pinterest board and you will find multiple meal planners.

So please send me recipes on my Pinterest board or tag me in them. If you have tried them even better let me know how you liked it if you altered it or did something that made it even better. I am going to take suggestions and get my meal plans and grocery lists together for as many weeks as I am able to.
