Wednesday came fast this week thanks to a little holiday on Monday! I hope you are ready for some yummy meal ideas though.

Sunday:  Lets start a new week with a hearty meal like Chicken and Dumplings…with homemade dumplings!

Monday:  We can’t skip our Mexican night and this week we are going to give beef enchilada casserole a try to take a break from chicken.

Tuesday:  With temperatures topping out in the 30s these days, soup sounds better than ever.  A tuscan bean soup with shrimp sounds like a great choice for this week’s second soup appearance.

Wednesday:  I stumbled across this recipe for Gung Bao chicken and just had to add it to my list.

Thursday:  Mathlete is a huge fan of anything peanut so peanut sauced linguine with broccoli sounds like a great option for our pasta night.

Friday:  Our crockpot doesn’t get any rest this week because I’m going to give crockpot chicken la criolla a try.

Saturday:  I love introducing new foods to the kids and this week I’m going to try rapini with orecchiette to introduce a new green.
