Weekly Recap

This week has been great meals wise. I have been sticking to the meal plan and loved the leftovers for lunch. I did follow the recipes for the most part just making a few changes for time.

Monday after working until 5:30 I rushed home to make Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry the recipe was great. The only thing I would change next time is having the meat already pre-cut that would cut the prep time down. Using minute rice to save on time is a must if you are racing to put food on the table.

Tuesday has been the easiest so far just leave the Chicken and Gravy in the crockpot and let it cook all day. To save time when I got home I used instant mashed potatoes. The only thing I would change next time would be to add more salt and pepper to the chicken when seasoning and serve it with rice.

Wednesday we had Pork Chops with Wild Rice I have made multiple times before. I altered the recipe by doing a quick sear on the pork chops. I also added the cream of mushroom and milk with all the other ingredients instead of at the end.

Thursday's meal was one that I have been waiting to try. New Orleans Pasta & Sausage was super easy. Again, I would pre-cut the meat to save time. You can make this as mild or as spicy as you want by adding more or less cajun seasoning. It was so good my husband and I could not stop eating it.

Here is an easy late night snack that I tried on Tuesday night it was amazing! The 2 Minute Microwave Brownie was so good and light. Just make sure you don't microwave it for too long. At the very bottom of the picture, it says to microwave for 1 minute 40 seconds. The link does not work when you click on the pin so I just followed the picture instructions.


I hope you can try some of these recipes in the future. Enjoy and stay tuned for next week!
