Meal Planning Monday, Labor Day Edition

What a glorious Labor Day it is! The weather could not possibly be better...this definitely makes up for the rain I sat in for 4 hours on Saturday!

This morning we headed out for what was planned as a nice quick bike ride on the new bike trail near our house. Before we knew it we were at the river, then at Saylorville, then the dam and spillway. It was a great ride...there. The ride home was not so fun as Maycen's little legs were T.I.R.E.D. But, she made it all the way home and rode nearly all of it. We just finished up lunch and now are cleaning and enjoying the open windows before heading to Grandma & Grandpa Johnson's house for a taco dinner!

We are looking forward to the cooler weather this week and my meal plan reflects that a little!

Monday:
Grandma Johnson's fried tacos. YUMMY!

Tuesday:
Juicy Lucys that we didn't make yesterday!

Wednesday:
I may be out of town, so planning something quick and easy that dad can handle in my absence. Soup and grilled cheese!

Thursday:
Pizza casserole (doesn't it look delish!!!)

Friday:
We are heading up to Ames for the big game early Saturday morning so the kids are spending the night with Grandma & Grandpa Peanut! Paul and I are going to a tailgating party at my dad & Jackie's house...haven't decided what I'll take yet!

Saturday:
ISU vs. UI...! We probably won't be home for dinner!

Sunday:
Brown sugar & balsamic glazed pork loin w/ potatoes & veggies!

Happy big game week everyone!
