Weekly Meal Plan [2 meals from one]

How is meal planning coming along for those of you trying to be more consistent with it? Anyone finding my weekly posted meal plans of any help? Any questions?

Monday: Crockpot French Onion Soup

Tuesday: Spaghetti & Meatballs

I like to make enough meatballs so that we have leftovers  to use the following night for Meatball Subs. *Meatball recipe   coming soon!

Wednesday: Meatball Subs

Thursday: Bone-in Chicken Breast on the grill with steam broccoli dressed in butter and parmesan cheese

If you are used to cooking  boneless breast, take note bone-in will take longer to cook, but in my opinion, so worth it! I usually try to remember to throw the breast into a marinade before we leave for work. Sometimes, for the grill, I do a simple one like a can of beer, some spices like smoked paprika, s&p and some cumin....whatever your taste buds like.

Friday: Scrambled Egg Burritos

This is an easy dinner that helps clear out the fridge too! We had mushrooms that needed used, a leek and then we threw in some cheese. Scrambled it all together and I personally like to dab on some hot sauce, then roll it up into a flour tortilla.

Crockpot Shredded Beef Tacos

Here is a super easy weeknight dinner I came up with the other night. It can cok in your crock pot all day while you are at work, and when you come home, it requires only 10-15 minutes of prep time! Enjoy!

*Note, this is a very accomodating recipe depending on your family size - this is why my measurments are vague -- chose what works for your family!

Shredded Beef Tacos

Ingredients

(1) Beef Round Roast (the one w/o a lot of fat throughout it!)
(1) package of your favorite mexican or taco seasoning
1.5 cups beef broth
Package of Soft Flour Tortillas or Hard Taco Shells...whichever your family prefers
Package of Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream

Directions

Place your roast in your crock pot. Pour in your beef broth. Sprinkle in your taco seasoning over the roast and into the broth. Cover and set your crock pot to cook on low for 8 hours.

When the roast is done, take two forks and shred it. Sprinkle some cheese in and then put the lid back on to keep warm while you toast your shells :)

Heat your soft tacos on an ungreased skillet over med-high heat, about 10 seconds per side. Or, heat your hard taco shells according to package directions.

Fill with shredded beef, cheese and sour cream....or again, whatever suits your family's fancy! You can use lettuce, chopped tomatos, onions, peppers....the possiblities are endless!

Enjoy!
