Menu 7/10-7/16

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things and cooking more and actually being able to keep on top of cleaning.  The transition to 4 kids was tougher than we thought...you should see how long it takes us to get out the door now when I used to be able to get everyone out within 15min or less....now it can easily take me an hour lol.  I'm sure I'll get faster again...or I hope!  But the past couple of weeks I've been cooking a lot more and trying more new recipes.  I always post what we are having for dinner on Facebook and always have people ask for the recipe.  A friend suggested I start posting our menus on here so I think I will :)  I'll also do a blog post at the end of the week "reviewing" the new recipes we tried, let you know what we changed if anything, how we liked it, etc.  (if it's REALLY good might just have to post about it that night!)

I usually plan our menu on Saturday and go shopping on Sunday after church.  Here is the plan for this week!

Most of that we haven't tried before so I'm really excited to try it all.  This took me awhile so in that time I tried the Chicken Enchilada Dip...really yummy!  Mark bought the stuff for it and accidentally bought HOT green chilis so I didn't use the jalepeno and the chilis smelled really spicy so I only used about half, I should have done a bit more but it's still really good.  I grilled the chicken with a bit of taco seasoning.
