Time for this week’s dinner ideas! It was a really busy week with a lot of events, but I loved the time we had to eat together at home.

Our weekly menu will give you some good dinner ideas

Time for this week’s dinner ideas! While we had a lot more meals out/leftovers than normal, I still wanted to share what a busy week of dinners looks like for us.

Here’s a quick review of our weekly dinners: 

MondayHamburgers + Roasted Green Beans

The boys requested hamburgers this week, and typically I would make them with fries, but after a week of Thanksgiving dinner and lots of other big meals, I went with leftover green beans and roasted them up for a slightly healthier side dish. Yum!

Tuesday: Breakfast Burritos

These are a super easy dinner that I make often. Everyone loves them! I don’t really use a recipe — just ground sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese, with a little bit of salsa.

Wednesday: Tortellini Sausage Soup

This is one of our all time favorite soups. It’s hearty and delicious and easy to toss together. Perfect for soup season!

Thursday: Turkey Noodle Soup (leftovers)

I made turkey noodle soup with the leftover turkey (and homemade broth from the turkey carcass) after Thanksgiving, and we had a giant pot of it, so we’re doing leftovers to get through it!

Friday: Order in Pizza

Saturday: Barbacoa Tacos

Usually we eat out or order in on Saturdays, but since we ordered pizza on Friday, we did crockpot tacos for Saturday dinner. I love a meal that can cook all day and be ready in the evening!

Sunday: Short Rib Bolognese with homemade noodles

I haven’t made this recipe in a while, and it’s been a while since I made homemade noodles! This is a great Sunday dinner!

Sunday Dessert: Chocolate Scotcheroos

One of our favorite family desserts!

Weekly Menu, January 1-7

Time for this week’s dinner ideas! This week’s meals were perfectly easy, quick, and delicious for a busy schedule and limited cooking appliances!

Our weekly menu will give you some good dinner ideas!

We were in Arizona visiting family for a few days over the weekend, and got back Tuesday night. So we’re back to cooking, although our kitchen renovation is making it a little tricky to cook normally, but we’re doing our best!

Here’s a quick review of our weekly dinners: 

Wednesday: Potato Leek Soup

Our kitchen renovation started this week, so I’m trying to make simple meals that I can make out of our basement kitchen that doesn’t have a stove or an oven. This was an easy recipe that was delicious!

Thursday: Sausage and Pepper Pasta

We do have a hot plate that can be used to cook pasta, so I made this recipe using the instant pot and then cooked the pasta on the stove. Simple and flavorful and healthy!

Friday: BBQ Chicken Pizza

We don’t have an oven, but we do have a toaster oven, so we made mini pizzas and they turned out pretty good for a toaster oven! I looked up instructions for this and it recommended 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes and that worked for us!

Saturday: Family Date Night

Sunday: Red Beans and Rice and Corn Muffins

This is one of our favorite slow cooker recipes — it cooks all day and is so flavorful and delicious. I served over white rice and cooked up some corn muffins in the toaster oven using Famous Dave’s Original Cornbread mix.

    The mobile gaming market is characterized by the fact that mobile games are… well, they are mainly hit or miss.
