The Busy Bee Weekly Menu: May 6
The question of “what’s for dinner?” can feel like such a chore day in and day out, so I’ve started sharing our own real-life weekly menu filled with simple, weeknight dinner ideas in this regular series. This week’s menu is especially kid-friendly because Bobby and his dad traveled to Bolivia to visit family while Max and I stayed back and soak up some quality time together. Easy, toddler-friendly dinners was this week’s theme. And, just like the other menus, I’m sharing videos from these dishes over on our Instagram if you’d like to see how they look in real-life.
For reference, this weekly menu fed Shannon and Max (with lots of leftovers).
SUNDAY
Chickpea Spaghetti & Nana’s Italian Meatballs
- I made a batch of Nana’s Italian meatballs on Saturday for my friend who just had a baby and made some extras for Max and me to reheat Sunday night. And there was still enough for another dinner!
MONDAY
Rotisserie Chicken, Roasted Peppers & Carrots
- It doesn’t get any easier than Publix’s rotisserie chicken! Pair with a couple of veggies on the side and you’re all set.
TUESDAY
Tacos & Corn
- Sticking to our Taco Tuesday tradition, I made regular ground beef tacos using Food Babe’s homemade taco seasoning recipe, of course! It contains no processed ingredients.
WEDNESDAY
Waffle-Pressed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches & Tomato Soup
- Max likes a good cheese sandwich for lunch so I figured, why not a grilled cheese and tomato soup night? To make it a little more fun, I pressed them with our waffle maker and I’ve never made a grilled cheese quicker.
THURSDAY
Leftovers
FRIDAY
Chick-Fil-A
- Couldn’t miss out on our weekly tradition and especially loved this one on one time with Max.
SATURDAY
Naan Pizzas
If you want a meal that takes about 5 minutes to prep and 5 to bake, this is your recipe! Let the little ones top their own pizzas to add to the fun.
