Here's Let's Eat for September 13-19th, 2015!
We’re getting closer to fall so my
palate is starting to change just like the weather patterns. I am looking for more versatile meals and
trying to cater to yet curb my sweet tooth.
September is a busy month so let’s look at some meals to help us take a
load off in the kitchen!
Breakfast
Around our home the kid is still eating skimpy at breakfast
– a Nutri-grain bar and a yogurt. I am
still stuck on my bagels but ready to get some of the fun flavored ones for the
season change. We’re also moving towards
a muffin kick around the house. However,
I’m toying with some recipes. Here are a
few to share with you…

Lunches
My favorite lunch is a spinach salad with chopped boiled
egg, black olives, celery and chopped tomato.
Mmmm, truly love it my favorite, for reals.
This week several dinners will be able to be packed in the
old box de lunch. I will just heat them
up and then toss them in so the Diva will enjoy them a few hours later in the
cafeteria.

| Great ideas for kids and adults from one of my favorite sites! |
My lunch pin of the week comes from Family
Fresh Meals I adore this site for food ideas! Last week’s lasagna soup was picked up from
this site as well. These ideas are kid
and adult friendly. They also help make
the shopping list a bit simpler.
Dinner
As you already know we’re a soup family. We love some soup all the time and any
time. This week I’m going to make a stew
in place of our regular soup night. The
stew I have decided on is
Cowboy Stew and I’m using the recipe from Betty Crocker. This is hearty stew that I think I will be
able to stretch from dinner to the lunchbox the next day.
If you follow my Pinterest boards then the next meal is not
surprise. Crockpot
Chicken & Stuffing will probably be a huge hit with my kids and
husband. I will be honest with you, I’m
not too thrilled to make this because the sodium level is going to be
insane. Expect me to tweak this dish and
I’ll give you a full report on it on a future Tasty Tuesday post!
You may remember a week ago my kids were turning all Italian
on me wanting lasagna and spaghetti in the same week. Last week I agreed to make the lasagna
soup. This week I’m going to bring back
my classic baked spaghetti. I love to make this dish because we always
have leftovers.
Finally, I think we’re past due on having a big fat salad
night. I plan to fire up the grill and
throw some marinated chicken on and make a large and fresh spinach and
dandelion salad complete with cukes, tomatoes, egg, carrots, and whatever other
veggie the kids are up for.
Well that’s this week in a nutshell. I hope you have a relaxing and wonderful
Sunday or Monday (or whatever day you are reading this). I appreciate you and would love to hear from you
too!
Girl you have a great Sunday!!!

Sounds yummy! I was just thinking the other day that it was about time to make some pumpkin muffins. I've got to get back to doing better with breakfast this week. The last couple of weeks I have found myself skipping or just having a piece of sun butter toast. My fav are the super easy box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin kind. We're having some chicken and veggie stir fry with brown rice. Picked up some pasture raised pork sirloin chops that looked really good at Earth Fare - which I think I'll be fixing up with an apple - soy marinate. A vegetarian chili, and maybe some black beans and rice for our second vegetarian meal. And probably a breakfast for dinner to round out the week.
