This Weeks Menu- Make Ahead Recipes

Now that football and cheer leading are in full swing, it is hard to get off work and prepare a fast and healthy dinner. As much as I love my Crock Pot, there are only so many meals I can make with that.
So I have started prepping meals on the weekend, so I can just pop them in the oven, eat and go.

It is a huge time saver and prevents us from having to grab a meal at the fast food restaurants.

I am not a huge fan cooking  Sunday, but during the week I never regret having these meals on hand.

This weeks MENU:

MONDAY:    Santa Fe Chicken Casserole   Recipe 

I omitted green onions and added pepper jack cheese.  I pre cooked the chicken in the Crock Pot.

TUESDAY : Stuffed shells (I made 2 pans, 1 to eat and 1 to freeze)   Recipe  Serve with bread and a salad

WEDNESDAY: No practice.  Pork chops.  I will be home to cook and the kids will be home to eat.

THURSDAY: Chicken Pot Pie  ( I made 2 pies, we will eat both in 1 night, YUM)  Recipe.  pre cooked chicken also in  the Crock Pot

FRIDAY: No Practice     Nachos     with ground beef I pre cooked.

Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
