So those snow storms hit last week just like they were planning. We had rolling blackouts where we only had power for 30-45 minutes at a time, dripping faucets that we were lucky didn’t freeze and no wifi which was beyond frustrating both for Brent who was trying to work and the kids who were trying to occupy themselves. Needless to say, we made whatever meals we could cook on the gas cooktop or in the airfryer in our 30 minutes of power so I’m taking a lot of what I planned on last week and making it this week (assuming I can find what I need at the stores).
Saturday (today) – Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole with rice and salad (hopefully)
Sunday (tomorrow) – Meatloaf (which I have in the freezer) with mashed potatoes and green beans
Monday – Jambalaya in the Instapot (depending on if we have swim practices and when we have swim practices)
Tuesday – Smoked Pork Sliders (from freezer) with Mac-N-Cheese and Loaded Baked Potatoes with Smoked Pork (Declan will want the sliders and the girls prefer baked potatoes and it’s easy enough to make both). Tuesdays Declan eats at 5:30 or 6 before practice and the girls eat at 7:30 after their practice.
Wednesday – White Chicken Chili in the crockpot because we have another overlapping practice night
Thursday – Free For All or Leftovers – Declan races from batting practice to swim on Thursdays so he eats in the car and the girls are usually exhausted from 5am practice wanting to eat early
Friday – Potato Soup since the girls’ A Champs meet was moved to next weekend
Saturday – Burgers and Hot Dogs or Free for All since Declan is swimming the make up day Sunday for the Heart Racer that got snowed out and the girls are swimming their second day of A Champs.
