March Madness 2nd week meal plan

-
Because it started on a Friday it has messed my head up. LOL...so I am going to go Friday through the following Sunday and try to update my blogs on Friday for the upcoming week so that those who might be taking on the challenge have time to shop. But I am pretty much doubting anyone is doing this with us but I am sure there are those taking recipes that are yummy! Either way is fine but I did say I would post the menu a week in advance and I am already behind for next week. Then hopefully I will again come Friday. We shall see...this is the upcoming menu starting this Friday. I just want to note that if you do see a recipe that has flour I am using rice flour in the recipe. I also wanted to state that we are not sweating the small stuff if the kids have a child in their classroom celebrating a birthday at school and they bring cupcakes or cookie (or snack time) that has flour we have told them to not stress about it and enjoy. We will control what we can and not worry about what we can't...

Friday March 8

Breakfast
Oatmeal and brown sugar with raisins or choice of cereal

Lunch
Turkey or ham in corn tortillas with cheese stick, chips (rice cakes) or fruit

create your own sandwich with a corn tortilla

Dinner
Sweet and Spicy Chicken, steamed potatoes and Asparagus




Saturday March 9

Breakfast
Egg and hash brown skillet

I saw something similar to this but with potatoes. So no set recipe. I planned to just cook the hash browns with some crumbled bacon and seasonings of salt and pepper then when almost tender make a little nest in the pan put in the egg (I plan to scramble the kids eggs but cook them the same way)

Lunch
Left over's or turkey dogs

Dinner
Vegetarian Hawaiian Haystacks

Sorry to inform you that I don't have a recipe for this. I know it is normally made with chicken but I plan on just making a white sauce to go over the top but then have the following tomatoes, green onion, peas, broccoli, mandarin oranges, olives, mushrooms, sugar snap peas and probably asparagus. I am pretty confident that the chow mein noodles have flour/wheat in them so we will also be passing on those (but I haven't looked into it) regardless this was the best I could to describe what we were going to have. 


Sunday March 10


Breakfast

Cereal of choice


Lunch

Homemade chicken nuggests, french fries, and fruit

 No recipe for this either. I just plan on using cornmeal and rice flour and baking them...we will see what happens.
Dinner

Flank Steak pinwheels, smushed potatoes and green beans

Flank Steak Pinwheels


This is simple...bake red potatoes (smaller work better) in tinfoil for about 45 minutes on 400 just until they are soft enough to smash. Take out unwrap. Put on cookie sheet. Smash with bottom of glass or bowl. Drizzle with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with Kosher salt, pepper, parsley (fresh is best) and garlic salt. Broil for 5-7 minutes
Monday March 11


Breakfast

Cereal of choice


Lunch

Turkey dogs, potato chips, fruit and pudding cup
My kids love these...less fat and less calories than normal hotdogs worth a try and .98 a package at Walmart (always) so cheap and good that's the trick!
Dinner
Fiesta Quinoa and chicken salad with a side green salad

 Fiesta Quinoa Chicken salad

Natali suggested this recipe as I was looking for ideas...the ironic thing is she will be the one to complain once it is on the table. That being said we are prepping to renovate our walls and floors next week so this one we may not do since we may very well have to eat out that night. LOL If not we may choose to do something different that night or serve it all separate. Grilled chicken and quinoa but I thought I would share the recipe anyway. I LOVE quinoa!

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
