Monday: sauteed chicken (marinated all day in Greek dressing), Great Northern beans simmered with rosemary, kale superfood salad (from a bag - a Harris Teeter special!)
Tuesday: BBQ ranch chopped salad with grilled chicken
Wednesday: Girls Night Out (last Wednesday night's outing was postponed until this week due to riots)
Thursday: I host Supper Club here (also postponed from last week to this week). Will share the menu next week!
So, food this week will be pretty easy. Camille gets a packed lunch twice this week since she'll eat at preschool, and I'm going to take my friend Sarah's idea and spread hummus between two slices of wheat bread. The school is nut-free, so no PB&Js.
My friend Justine, who writes over at Full Hands Full Heart, has recently started selling Thirty-One. You're probably very familiar with this line of bags, totes, and accessories. She has been such a help to me with assisting me in deciding which bag suits my needs. Ultimately I went with the Large Utility Tote (and took advantage of their September special to get the stand-up insert for $15, reduced from $50). I see so many uses for this ... park picnics, packing for weekends away, car trunk organization, Aldi shopping trips!
If you are in the market for some new totes, lunchboxes, teacher gifts, Christmas gifts - I know Justine would love to help you. She has been such a great friend to me and I know you will love getting to know her too! She's a mom of five, and therefore an ORGANIZING QUEEN, so she can really point you in the right direction! You can shop the whole line here. The September special I took advantage of is only good for a few more days!
Haha, I bought this exact same combo in blue for the car. It fits perfectly between the two car seats in the back seat as my catch all bucket. We leave our kid's shoes and extra toys/blankets in the car and I'm always worried they are going to fall out.
ReplyDeleteMy large utility totes are wonderful! I have one in the back of my suv full of my son's 'stuff' (car seat accessories, baby carrier, park blanket, etc) and two more at home. I think I'm going to have to pick up an insert now!
ReplyDeleteLaura! Let me know if I can help you place an order for a stand tall insert- they are on special this month and we don't always carry them- so it's a great idea to pick one up while you can! :)
DeleteMust. Get. Back. To. Meal. Planning. Lol! We have a serious lack of schedules around the Yancey house these days! All sounds good!!
ReplyDeleteI made this last night and it was a HIT:

Forgot to marinate the chicken (I used boneless skinless thighs), so I just seasoned them w/oregano and dill before I seared them, and added the lemon juice & zest with the chicken brother (did not use water). One pot, one hour, super delicious.
Your menu plan looks delicious April!!! And super excited for you to get your new bags!! You are going to LOVE them!! :)
ReplyDeleteI was just talking about how I did not know anyone who sold Thirty One anymore. Happy to see this post! I am in need of organization in my life.
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley!! Let me know if you have any questions!! I love helping people pick out their bags!! :) you can email me at: fullhandsfullhear08@gmail.com 😊
DeleteThat chicken looks so good! We have been doing lots of easy meals around here. I make your stuffed pork tenderloin fairly often. When I was teaching, I loved 31. So many great teacher gifts.
ReplyDeleteI have the same tote in polka dots and we love it! It has come in hand on so many occasions and I always get compliments on it.
ReplyDeleteahh packing toddler lunches- so much fun. hah We do bento box for L to keep her interested in packed lunches and even though our daycare does allow peanut butter and we send it occasionally, I thought a fun combo a friend introduced me to for kiddos was cream cheese and jam. I make little cracker sandwiches with it for L.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE Thirty-One bags. I have SO many of them but I use them all. I use the utility totes when I go grocery shopping & they are SO nice. I've gotten many compliments/comments on them. Thirty-One is fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was so timely - had been thinking of getting a tote for awhile - so just placed an order!
