Menu Plan 9•19

Things are looking a little normal around here. Yeah I said it! You know me, always putting things to the test. Now we sit back and wait for all hell to break loose. Just kidding. Im not waiting for anything. Theres much to do around here. Cleaning, cooking, and all the things that stay at home moms do. Its not all nap times and bonbons y'all! 

But in the spirit of working on routines and getting back to the usual flow of things, lets talk menus! Anyone else ready to just fully jump in to Fall foods? Soups and stews, fresh breads and all the savory flavors! I know I am. But truth is, these guys could eat brighter summer meals year round. So I am trying to slowly adjust and not just all in. It doesn't help that its Texas and hot as hell. Hard to enjoy a hearty stew when the weather is hotter than the bubbling pot on the stove.

Here is what will be cooking up in our kitchen this week.

• Spicy Salmon Maki Bowls
• Chicken and CauliFried Rice
• Sausage and Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner
• Stuffed Pork Chops and Salads
• Leftover/Sandwich Night 

I still have a whole chicken in the freezer that I can cook up if heaven forbid, the boys eat everything. and I also grabbed a family pack of chicken legs that were on sale.  Those can find their way to the grill ir they need to!  If you know me, you know I try to buy at least one OhShit dinner for the nights Im not able to cook or something comes up. This week I grabbed the boys some fish sticks and mac-n-cheese. Sure its not the healthiest, but they can make it themselves. Oh the joys of parenting with chronic illness.  Gotta be prepared for the bad days.

Whats cooking in your kitchen this week? Does your cooking change with the seasons?  Have you started cooking more Fall like dinners?
