Meal Plan Monday!

Hi there! Better late that never? The Olympics are on.  Like most time related things right now, I blame the delay of this post on them.

We had a busy and productive weekend in our house.  Saturday was spent celebrating my niece's second birthday and then my brother and his fiancé joined us at our house later for dinner. 

Clearly our niece is terrified of dogs <---------- Sarcasm.

While Aaron was at work on Sunday our fencing company came to continue work in our front yard and backyard.  Since they were here most of the day, I kept the girls inside and out of their way while I cleaned and finalized our wedding album for production.

Mom.......you're borning.  I think the girls will be happy to have their yard back by the end of this week!

In my effort to get more sleep in 2014 I've realized that there's actually very little down time between when I get home from work and when I'd like to be asleep.  That being said, I've been trying to incorporate quicker weeknight meals that result in less cooking/cleaning time making more time to unwind.  I've been asleep before 10 every weeknight and I consider that a success since I wake up between 5:00-5:15 for work and was going to sleep around 11:00-11:30. How in the heck did I ever do that?!

Anywho, here's what we're eating this week:

Monday: Rotisarie Chicken with Roasted Baby Red Potatoes (minus the feta) and Green Salad

Tuesday: Fresh Veggie Pasta in Pesto (Whole Wheat Pasta with Roasted zucchini, yellow squash and asparagus, tossed in Pesto with greek olives and artichoke hearts).

Wednesday: Pulled Pork Sliders with Coleslaw.  The recipe is going to sound weird but just trust me on this one. 

Thursday: A lighter variation of these Hobo Packets 

Friday: Valentine's Day Dinner at home.  We've never been huge on Valentine's Day, especially when it comes to fighting the restaurant crowds.  We're more the "love each other in little ways 365 days a year" type than the "go overboard on how much you love each other one day a year" type......not that there's anything wrong with that type at all, it's just not for us.  To each his own right?

How was your weekend?

Do you make Valentine's Day plans?
