Meal updates from last week:
We enjoyed all meals from last week, and almost all were from @skinnytaste. Our favourites were the buffalo chicken salad and the Asian noodles with chicken. My kids devoured the noodles, and both went back for seconds. We also loved the crispy shrimp bowls, I have made this recipe before and it doesn’t disappoint.
This was the first week in a long time that we haven’t done takeout and that’s because we ended up going camping for the weekend. We went with another family, so we divided the grocery list and meal prep so it would be easier. Here was our menu:
Friday: grilled Spolumbos sausage, corn on the cob, roasted potatoes with onions. Everything was cooked on the outside stove and on the camp fire. We made s’mores using the celebration cookies that already have the chocolate on them.
Saturday:
breakfast: all the berries, yogurt and granola. The kids ate cereal and fruit.
lunch: wraps with meat, cheese and all of the veggies. We also had hummus and more fruit.
dinner: taco salad, the meat was precooked so only needed to be heated and added a can of corn. Served with lettuce, a salsa of avocado, tomatoes and cucumbers. Topped with sour cream, cilantro, cheese, hot sauce and chips for dipping. Kids got to make s’mores cones, fill waffles cones with marshmallows and your choice of chocolate. Wrap with tin foil and warm over the fire. Marshmallows will be soft, and chocolate will be melted. These are so good!
Sunday:
breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit and bread with peanut butter as we didn’t have a toaster.
We had an amazing time and the food was so good! It is much easier to divide the shopping and the meal prep especially when there is more than one family. Just because you go camping doesn’t mean that you only have to eat hot dogs, be creative, plan and eat well! For Father’s Day we had the beef keftas from @amandafrederickson served with grilled pita, Greek salad, hummus and tzatziki. For dessert there was peanut butter pie from @pioneerwoman and my gramma’s apple pie.
This week we will be eating at home Monday-Thursday, we don’t have plans for the weekend, but I would imagine that we will do takeout one night.
- Grilled chicken thighs seasoned with cajun seasoning and topped with bbq sauce, tater tots, baked beans and an arugula watermelon salad.
- Couscous salad with lime basil vinaigrette from @pinchofyum I will serve this with some sautéed shrimp. I don’t plan on using couscous for the salad as we don’t love it in our house, instead I will make some brown rice.
- Mexican pizza from @estaceydos to supplement this meal I will add some avocado, sour cream and shredded lettuce.
- Strawberry spinach salad with chicken and avocado from @foodiecrush loving a dinner salad especially as the weather gets warmer.
I don’t have any plans to bake this week, but that hasn’t stopped me before. I have a few bananas that are getting spotty, and I have been thinking about making some protein balls so stay tuned! There isn’t a grocery list for this week as I am a day late, it will be back next week.
Happy cooking,
Sara
