January 22-28, 2017 Meal Plan

This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.

I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

Mom’s Oven Stew

I have seen several variations of this recipe. I try to add whatever vegetables are hiding in the fridge to this when I make it.

This one does take a little time to make so be sure to start it with enough time to get it finished before dinner! I usually start this while the kids are down for naps.

I did make this in the crockpot and it turned out great! I cooked it on low for 6-7 hours and everything was delicious, not to mention the aroma in the house was very enticing. Continue reading “Mom’s Oven Stew”

Sweet Pork Quesadillas

What’s better than Laura’s Sweet Pork? Sweet Pork Quesadillas made from the leftovers! These are so easy to make and we love them here. Everyone looks forward to leftovers the day after I make the sweet pork. Continue reading “Sweet Pork Quesadillas”

Laura’s Sweet Pork

This is another favorite from the Real Mom Cookbook. I have included the link to the original recipe as well as we have changed the recipe a little bit.

My kids like this with Cheesey PotatoesCole Slaw, and some rolls. The leftovers are delicious when used for Sweet Pork Quesadillas. Continue reading “Laura’s Sweet Pork”

Cheesey Potatoes

I love this recipe! It is good with or without the bacon or ham, and with or without the extra cheese. Continue reading “Cheesey Potatoes”
