Meal Plan Week #19

MONDAY: Cook out at the in-laws
My SIL's b-day was last week and with Mother's Day yesterday we are doing a cook out to celebrate both. And I don't actually have to host :)

TUESDAY: Chicken Taco Cups
This is one of my freezer meals, I already tried these when my MIL made her batch and they are yummy! The recipe we used was very similar to this one - but we used pinto beans instead of refried beans and chicken instead of ground beef.

WEDNESDAY: Spaghetti

THURSDAY: Pulled Pork Tacos
I have a couple of pork loins in the freezer that I've picked up on sale, so I'll cook one up this week and freeze half of what I make for another meal later on. This is the world's easiest thing to make. Put the pork loin in the crock pot, dump a jar of salsa on top. Let cook all day, shred in the crock pot and stir around. Put on your tacos!

FRIDAY: Black & Blue Salad
Steak is on sale this week at the store so I'm shaking up the salad bar meal idea and will have the fixings for black & blue salads. I'm sure the kids will leave off the steak and blue cheese but at least the parents can get a yummy salad!

What's cookin' this week at your house?

Meal Plan Week #18

I am sitting on the deck planning this week's meals. I could certainly get used to this warm weather stuff :)

MONDAY: Baked Potato Bar
We did this awhile back and it was a big hit with the kids so we'll bring it back again.

TUESDAY: Chicken Taquitos
Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday are happening on the same day people! Taquitos for everyone!

WEDNESDAY: Deli Sandwiches and Pasta Salad

THURSDAY: Kebabs on the grill
It should be about 80* when I get home so we'll throw some stuff on the grill.

FRIDAY: Pizza Braid
This is one of my freezer meals. I made the Ham & Cheese Braid awhile back from this same recipe and it was really good.

What's for dinner tonight at your house?

May: I will try

For April I set three goals so let's see how I did!

• I will try to workout more.
• Well I spent more time outside which usually involved moving around more. And I got the girls to go on a run with me in preparation for the Color Run near the end of May. I still need a lot of work here though.
• I will try to read 2 books.
• I finished one book that I had started in March (B is for Burglar) and completed a new one, The Botox Diaries. I also began reading, Better Than Before. I really loved Gretchen's other books so I have high hopes for her latest one!

• I will try to think positive.
• I think I forgot about this goal for most of the month. I thought it would be so easy and yet it was probably the hardest. For the last few days of the month I really tried to focus on it but my positive thinking was positively lacking. 

So that brings us to May. Here's what I'll be trying for the month.

• Planning and focus!

Yep I'm sticking with one goal this month. We have our cruise at the end of May so I need to make sure everything is in order for that. That includes me attempting to lose 3 more pounds so I can shop for a new bathing suit to wear. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy any clothes for myself until I lost 10 lbs. Well I'm currently stuck at 7 lbs down so I need to kick it up a notch! This is also the last month of school so making sure A finishes out the school year strongly is something I need to focus on. If I can make it through this month with my sanity then I can spend the first whole week of June relaxing in the Caribbean! 

Do you have any goals or anything you want to try for the month of May?
