Sun Mar 5th:
Dinner: Grilled steak, steamed corn and buttered french bread.
Mon Mar 6th:
Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: MacJr, peaches and cashews
Dinner: Baked Corn Dogs from The Domestic Kitchen Blog.
I made them using the corn shaped cast iron pan
Tue Mar 7th:
Breakfast: Bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: bagel with fruit and cashews from a celebration here at work
Dinner: Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon from The Recipe Critic Blog. The only change I made was to skip the potatoes in the crock pot. I wanted to serve with mashed potatoes and did not have any baby potatoes at the house anyway to add. It was not bad, just not really worth the extra effort yesterday morning. I also forgot the bread in the oven until I saw smoke last night so that was another snafu.
Wed Mar8th:
Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese
Lunch:Wendy's because AC was messed up at work and I was turning into an ice cube.
Dinner: Did not feel good when I got home so switched up the nights and made baked spaghetti
Thur Mar 9th:
Breakfast: cheese danish at Logan's school for muffins with mom
Lunch: pizza
Dinner:Layered Ham and Cheese Potato Bake from Buzzfeed. Mine looked nothing like the recipe photos. It did not taste bad and Phillip said he would eat it again.
Fri Mar 10th:
Breakfast: donuts with the boys!
Lunch: Lunch out with coworker
Dinner: Beef and Broccoli Noodles using leftover beef.
Sat Mar 11:
Dinner: Creamy Chicken Enchilada Chili from Chelsea's Messy Apron. I used leftover corn and fajita chicken from the freezer and the end of a package of cream cheese. This was good and the leftovers will be lunch this week. It did taste similar to Taco Soup.
