Meal updates from last week:
We enjoyed all of the meals from last week, but what I liked the best was the Thai soup and the meatballs. The soup is good on the first day but even better on the two following days. I used pork and beef in the meatballs and they turned out very well, I also baked them instead of frying. Both of my kids gobbled them up, and I made a simple tzatiki to serve alongside the meatballs. We spent the weekend in the mountains skiing with friends. On Saturday night I made chicken enchiladas to feed the group, I served them with chips, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. If you are looking for a meal to feed a crowd then this recipe is for you! We arrived home yesterday afternoon so dinner was simple, barbecued burgers with tater tots and a veggie plate.
This week we will be eating at home Sunday-Thursday. Friday we are going to eat out with friends and then Saturday we have a dinner out. My son is finished basketball for the season so we only have swimming this week. We start baseball the end of April, so that’s when things will start to get busy again.
- Thai cashew chicken from @wellplated we will eat this with some steamed brown rice. I am going to add some edamame to the stir fry and possibly some asparagus.
- Sheet pan blackened salmon bowl from @halfbakedharvest I am going to add some asparagus to this meal. I have the salmon from last week in the freezer as I didn’t get a chance to make the burgers.
- Honey garlic shrimp from @skinnytaste with a side of brown rice and possibly a steamed vegetable.
- Grilled chicken caesar lettuce wraps from @food52 we will see what my kids eat from this meal. I know that they will love the croutons and grilled chicken, but I am not sure about the lettuce and the dressing. As always a deconstructed dinner is better than no dinner at all!
I have no plans to bake this week, but if I get the chance I will share any recipes vis my Instagram feed. I made banana bran muffins last week and they all got eaten over the weekend. These muffins pack a ton of fibre so if you are looking for a way to get more fibre into your children give this recipe a try! Dinner List 88 print it and make your life easier!
