Menu Review and posting of this weeks recipes

   So far this week, we have had the creole fish for dinner. I couldn't find the recipe so I improvised my own. I breaded the fish using a flour, milk and egg mixture as a wet batter. I seasoned it with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper, chili powder, paprika (I think that was all). I also replaced the rice with homemade fries and I also made hushpuppies, but the recipe was not that good. Spencer found another recipe to try so I will try them soon. If they are any good, I will post the link. :) I had the Mediterranean Blend frozen veggies as well.
    Had the Grilled Paprika Chicken packets, but in the oven at 400* for 40 minutes. I didnt have any carrots so I just added extra green beans.

The recipe is found here: http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/grilled-paprika-chicken-dinner-packs/d416be18-eef3-40e0-9eaf-286df9494e59/.

Had the slow cooker cubed steaks and that recipe was not GOOD at all. I will go back to the one I like better. Will post if I ever make it. LOL
The easy chicken and potato recipe, will be made sometime next week, the italian chicken strips will also be made too. The kung pao chicken maybe made if I have enough chicken left over.

Menu Planning Day!

So last week I picked dinner from a basket. It made grocery shopping streamlined as well as I knew what I was going to make. So I will continue to do it. Now I just need to get some strength to avoid the high carbs in the meals LOL.

This is what I picked for next week:
Creole Fish w/ rice and veggie (I will resist the rice and have a side salad)
Grilled Paprika Chicken Dinner Packs
Slow Cooker Cube Steak w/ mashed taters & salad (wont have the taters, just increase the serving of salad)
Easy Baked Chicken & Potato Dinner w/ salad (wont have the potatoes)
Italian Chicken Fingers w/ marianara, pasta, and veggies (Ill have a salad)
Beef Roast in the Rotisseri w/ a veggie medley and salad  (I didn't pick this out of the basket, I just have a nice roast in the freezer that needs to be cooked)
Kung Pao Chicken Kabobs w/ grilled veggies and a salad (recipe created by me)

Once I have started the week, I will post an update to this post with the recipes I enjoyed with the link or recipe written out of the meal.
Happy eating! :)

Family Friday Updates

Samantha:  Went to the drs on Monday afternoon about her cough she has had for a while now and her previous pedi just said to wait it out. I finally was able to transfer her to Paytons pedi and he said her cough should have been treated if the antibiotics that the hospital didnt make it go away. He said it could have gotten much worse if I didnt bring her in like I did. We she was put on an inhaler for 5 days and in case she has a coughing fit, a steroid to help with any inflammation in her airways, and different antibiotic than she had the first time. She doesnt cough any more!!! So happy. Well, the steriods turned her into a speed racer. Hopefully after tomorrow, she will go back to her normal speed.

Payton: Well she had her 6 month drs appt on Monday. The dr said she is acting like a 9 month old baby because of crawling and self feeding. And she is petite in her weight, but average in her height. Shes just growing up so fast :'(. Yesterday, I took her to get her ears pierced. She cried for a little bit but was fine once I snuggled with her for a minute. I couldnt get her birthstone earrings, so I got her pink flowers. I will just get her some for her birthday. Oh and she sat up by herself too!! :)

Spencer: he got a raise at work!! He was so happy.

Me: Set a goal of August 24th to be a my goal weight of 130lbs.

Hope everyone has had a great week.
