April 30 – May 6, 2017 Meal Plan

This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.

I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.

I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

So easy to make with leftover Pintos. Continue reading “Refried Beans”

Pintos

We eat pintos about once a month. They are super simple to make in the crockpot and the leftovers can be made into refried beans later in the week. The refried beans can be transformed into burritos and quesadillas as well so I usually double this recipe.
This recipe also works well for black beans.
