Week 13 is the week of little league kick off.  Which means lots of evenings of not being home to cook!  So forgive my reliance upon the slow cooker for the next 7 weeks or so.

Breakfasts –

Skinnytaste Baked Oatmeal with Bananas and Blueberries.

Except I used almonds, not walnuts.  And I’m a little worried my kids are going to eat it all.  I also have hardboiled eggs, eggs I can cook, avocados, bread and yogurt.

Lunches –

Guacamole Costs Extra….Prep Ahead Chicken and Rice Bowls.

Dinners –

Monday – oh boy.  A baseball game and a t-ball game, at the same time.  On fields several miles away from each other.  The crockpot/slow cooker will be getting a workout today!  And probably a lot for the next 6-8 weeks as we enter one of the busiest times of the year.  Reviewing my slow cooker recipe files, I remembered we all liked this one, and it makes enough for 2 meals for us, so bonus! Chicken Tikka Masala from Taste of Home.  This recipe recommends it over basmati rice, which we love, but if you prefer, any kind will work!

Tuesday – Easy Chicken Parmesan (Oven Baked) with pasta and salad.

Wednesday – Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili.

Thursday – Leftovers – both the Chicken Tikka Masala from Monday and the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili go nicely over rice, or maybe I could stuff some sweet potatoes with the chili……

Friday – Leftovers or takeout for the kids, while we go out for a date night.

Saturday – a friend gifted me with some free meals from Plated, so I decided to give this prepped meal deliver service thing a try again.  I tried a while back, but the deliver dates didn’t work for me.  Plated now delivers on Saturday, so I’ll try it.  We are getting 2 meals delivered this week, one of them, Seared Steak with Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette is the plan for Saturday!

Sunday – Clean out the leftovers night!
