I am so behind on things lately. Sigh. But at least we're still on summer break so we don't have to do school. :) VBS is this month and I know that week will be really busy so I'm already planning on a freezer week (see details below). Here's what I've got in mind this month (printable menu here):
June 30-July 6 - We were on vacation most of the week but I did cook a couple of meals.
- chicken enchiladas with a creamy green chili sauce
- pesto chicken lasagna roll-ups with green beans and French bread
- leftovers (we had to clean the fridge out before leaving)
July 7-13
- chicken and black bean quesadillas and side salad
- bbq pork spareribs, loaded cauliflower, and pinto beans
- dahi chicken, dal, and brown rice
- grilled salmon, roasted root vegetables, and wild rice
- crockpot low country boil and brown rice
July 14-20
- taco pizza
- cobb salad
- "rotisserie" chicken, steamed California medley veggies, and slow cooker mashed potatoes
- grilled cheese and tomato soup
- crockpot carne asada, brown rice, and black beans
July 21-27 (Freezer Meal Week)
- chicken enchiladas with a creamy green chili sauce and side salad
- bacon cheeseburger, side salad, and fruit salad
- sausage ravioli with marinara sauce, steamed broccoli, and side salad
- meatball subs and side salads
- balsamic chicken with roasted vegetables over garlic herb fettuccine
July 28-August 3
- smoked paprika grilled chicken and Santa Fe rice salad
- bacon-wrapped meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans
- grilled chicken drumsticks, mac'n'cheese, and mixed veggies
- skirt steak, grilled veggies, and baked potatoes
- baked French toast and sausage links
Since I will be doing a week of freezer meals the week of VBS, I decided to challenge you all to attempt a freezer meal week as well. Here are your instructions:
- Pick one week in July (preferably one that you know is going to be busier than usual).
- Write up a menu for that week using only dishes that can be made up ahead of time, frozen, and then cooked later.
- Actually follow through on it.
Your turn: What is your freezer-week menu?
