A Husband-Friendly Meal Plan

July 21, 2013

I’ve spent the past week in Oklahoma — driving to and from Texas and Oklahoma (with the Kidlets) and leaving the Husband at home.  It’s been a crazy time of doting aunts and excited cousins and smiling grandparents and the beautiful landscape of my childhood.

But, now our visit is over and tomorrow we return home … just in time to head out (again) for a work conference.

THIS time, I’ll be sans children and the Husband will be left to handle the bath-time and bed-time and, obviously, dinner-time.

(I’m only laughing a little bit at the thought of this whole scenario)

I know he can handle bathing three squirming children and I’m confident they’ll sleep (eventually).  But cooking a healthy meal while three Kidlets transform into shrieking banshees, demanding to be fed at the snap of their fingers?  Um …..

This week’s meal plan has a simple theme: it is all about “What Can The Husband Handle Without Involving Take-Out Every Night.”

Thanks to my freezer stash, the majority of his “cooking” will revolve around heating components of each meal; surely … surely … my guy can handle this!!

What We {they} Are Eating This Week:

Monday — Perfect Cheesy Scrambled Eggs, Fresh Fruit, Whole Wheat Toast

Tuesday — Cheese and Chicken Quesadillas, Slow Cooker “Refried” Black Beans, Fresh Veggies

Wednesday — Whole Wheat Pasta, Slow-Cooker Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs, Steamed Green Beans, Watermelon

Thursday — Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches, Fresh Veggies

Friday (Mama is back!) —  Perfect Whole Wheat Pizza with Roasted Veggies

Saturday — Chicken Spaghetti with Lemon-Tarragon Sauce, Salad

Sunday — leftovers!
