Woohoo!! Nana is here. Writing this post a little late bc I was all wrapped up in getting ready for Nana’s visit. This is the first time she sees the kids in over a year. It will be so hard without Pop, but the kids are over the moon excited. This week’s plan is a little more ambitious than usual if only because we’re on Spring Break both from school AND swim so we just have a couple baseball practices to work around. It’s going to be weird being home almost every night, but hopefully I can do some restocking of the freezers for our crazy weeks to come. Here’s what we got so far:
Sunday – We’re grilling burgers and hot dogs. It’s quick and easy and I’m cleaning for Nana’s visit.
Monday – Pork Tostadas from Hello Fresh (tacos for the kids). I accidentally forgot to “skip a week” on my Hello Fresh. I rarely get them but I keep my account open for when I’m in a rut and just skip every week…until I forget. They were good so we’ll definitely make them again
Tuesday – Grilled chicken with risotto and bacon mac-n-cheese (from freezer) and green beans because NANA is HERE!
Wednesday – Shepherd’s Pie for St. Patrick’s Day. (I voted for Irish stew, but kids and Brent wanted the Shepherd’s Pie)
Thursday – Instapot Taco Bowls so Nana can see how our Instapot works and decide if she wants one.
Friday – Take Out/Frozen Nuggets/whatever
Saturday – Egg Roll in a Bowl (aka Sesame Soy Pork bowls)
Sunday – Smoked Pork Butt, slaw, baked potatoes and corn on the cobb. We might smoke a brisket too so we can reload the freezer with the meat. This is great for crazy nights bc it heats up fast in the oven or microwave and can go on buns for sammies or baked potatoes quick and easy
