We’re starting the third week of school (the second full week) and I think we’ve got our groove. Wednesday is the “craziest” day so far because immediately after school the boys have CCD class. They take a bus from the elementary school to the parish center, so that is great. But pick-up is always hectic and then it’s a mad rush to eat dinner, do homework, and have (hopefully) a little downtime while still getting to bed on time. So Wednesday are going to be my “phone it in” days. I’ll either throw something simple in the Crock Pot, make sandwiches, or as in the case of this week, just throw a frozen pizza in the oven.
The cooler weather has been great! It’s the kind that makes me think of outdoor fireplaces, crunchy leaves, hot apple cider, and (of course) my slow cooker. I’ve been using it a lot lately and this week is no exception!
And with that, on to this week’s menu.
- Sunday: Burgers, salad, fries
- Monday: Take-out
- Tuesday: Slow-cooker chickpea curry (held over from last week), basamati rice, cucumber & onion salad
- Wednesday: Pizza, green salad
- Thursday: Slow cooker chicken breasts in Marsala herb sauce, roasted potatoes, Ceasar salad
- Friday: Roasted tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, chips
- Saturday: Pizza dip, baguette slices, green salad

Looks good! I LOVE using the slow cooker too!! Makes such a filling meal especially when it’ s chilly outside! 🙂
How did the chicken marsala come out on Tuesday? I love marsala. Thanks for always giving me some new ideas for meals.
