Dinner
We usually pair our meals with homemade rolls or bread & a vegetable.
Monday- Chicken Pita Wraps (I bought a package of pitas marked down to $.99!)
Tuesday – Steamed Red Potatoes & BBQ Pork
Wednesday- Zucchini Fajitas
Thursday- Cheese Shells
Friday- BBQ Chicken Braid (This was a hit! I froze 3 last week)
Saturday- Lasagna
Sunday- Chicken & Rice
Lunch Snacks
We stick to a simple lunch. I generally eat leftovers or a PB&J (Yum!). Daniel takes a simple deli sandwich and snacks.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Zucchini Bread Muffins
Freezer Chocolate Chip Cookies
Carrot sticks
Fresh peaches
String cheese
Freezer Cooking
I try to add something to the freezer each week. These are usually quick snacks or meals for busy days. I can usually just double a recipe I am already making and freeze enough for 2 or 3 meals for us.
Zucchini Bread Muffins
Cheese shells (I will make extra to freeze)
Lasagna
Homemade baking mix (I am excited to try this recipe. I love using whole wheat, and I am hoping this will make it more convenient)

Great meals! I like the snacks too. Sounds very similar to what my husband and I eat.
