Week 4: Tall Mommy's Menu Plan

I'm not gonna lie. I'm tired. And lazy. And tired. (Did I already say that? Oh, I did? Well it's true.) And have a bajillion things going on right now, so this week's menu plan really lives up to that whole "prepare meals with as little effort as possible" bit.

Monday: Breakfast...as in you're lucky if you get cereal with fruit on it prepared by me breakfast.

Tuesday: Mexican take out. My dear husband will be at the old house until late showing it to a potential renter and getting it all ready to go, and I'm not up for preparing dinner for one and a baby, so there it is.

Wednesday: St. Patty's Day feast with Dad (thank you, Dad...corned beef, cabbage, taters...and no effort on my part!...I'll happily post HIS recipe though, as it is delish.)

Thursday: Beefy Corn and Black Bean Chili with Cheesy Cheddar Corn Bread...sounds complicated, right? WRONG. 5 ingredients each. Chili prep time? 1 minute. Corn Bread? 4. Cook time for both? Under a half hour. Now that's what I'm talking about!

Friday: Elder's Quorum Social at church; dinner provided (niiiicee...we are bringing a large shrimp cocktail and fruit salad, but the hubby has it covered, so again, I'm in the clear!)

Saturday: Baked Eggplant Lasagne again, at the request of my mother (who is coming to babysit, hang out, and show some love while hubby speaks at church on Sunday)

Sunday: BBQ pulled pork sandwiches...this time I'll actually post the recipe :) It's slow cooker, so it sounds way more impressive in the effort arena than it is!

Breakfast: Smoothies and eggs
Lunch: avocado, chinese (take out, thanks), chef boyardi, mac and cheese...you know, all the junk I don't actually have to prepare but little one loves.

Sweet treat: Strawberry Nutella Crepes...my love for sweets knows no limits and the more tired I get, the more willing I am to prepare something tasty. Fortunately, theses are SUPER cheap, SUPER easy, the crepes can be made days in advance and warmed, and are pretty much the most spectacular dessert on earth.
