Menu Planning Monday - January 10, 2011

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  It sure was a cold one here in Tennessee!  Brrr…and this morning we woke up to snow on the ground.  I’m so thankful for a wonderful husband that can drive me in to work!!!

It is Menu Planning Monday, which means I am going to tell you what we are having for dinner this week!  But first I want to tell you a little bit about our family so that you can understand a little about why I plan the way I do. 

Our family is unique.  We are a blended family.  My husband has 2 children that he has custody of and I have 2 children that I have custody of.  Every Thursday, his children go to their mom’s.  And every other weekend, his kids and my kids go to their other parents.  Also, on Thursdays my husband goes to the lodge, which means it is just me and my two kiddos at the house.  So, we normally have Mommy and kiddo night where we do something special just us.

This week I only have to plan for Monday thru Wednesday since this weekend the kids will be with their other parents.  So, with that short explanation, here is what we are having….

Monday – Lasagna with whole wheat noodles and ground turkey.

Tuesday – Kids will have pizza.  Hubby and I will have black bean quesadillas.

Wednesday – Leftover Lasagna with salad.  The kids will more than likely have sandwiches.

Thursday – Mommy/kiddo night

Friday – Double Date night at the Depot

Well, there you have it!  Yumminess!
