Whew! I'm back after a fabulous vacation. It was really wonderful and I have to say that I relaxed so much that by the end of the week I was ready to come home and get to work! This spring/summer is going to be full of weeks that will be a bit abnormal to plan meals for, since our plans could change daily. My husband is still in the middle of doing a remodel job for my parents, so some nights we eat with them. There have also been a significant amount of other family events and there will be many more (did I mention I'll be an aunt three times over in the next few weeks?!). Furthermore, whether good or bad, I have been really digging deep into my teaching now that I am much more comfortable with my job. Each day I spend a significant amount of time researching for my lessons which leaves me coming home a bit later.
Over the next few weeks I am going to try to find some really tasty, at least somewhat healthy, easy, quick, and of course cheap homemade meal recipes. If you have any that fit in those categories (I know I'm asking for a lot) please respond! I love to try new things.
Here's the plan for this week:
Monday: Grilled out hotdogs on whole wheat (on sale!) buns, carrots, strawberry shakes
Tuesday: Ham rolls, salads, bread
Wednesday: Rotini with meaty tomato sauce (and some sneaky spinach, hopefully my husband won't notice), broccoli
Thursday: Pizza bread or Crockpot arm steak, salads, cut up apples

I saw a quick and easy healthy recipe on television. It consisted of Wheat linguine, fresh basil, garlic, shredded cheese, tomato, and olive oil.
ReplyDeleteIt's really tasty.
You cook the linguine... while that is cooking you cut up tomato... basil and fresh garlic...then you drain the linguine... don't let it dry out though... then mix in olive oil... garlic.. tomato.. basil and shredded cheese.. add some salt and pepper and BAM.. it's done.. pretty good.. I saw it done on food network
