We still had easy meals last week, but I added some new meals to the menu.
While at the hospital at found some easy recipes to try. Since we stopped at the store and did our weekly shopping on the way home, I tried one recipe that very night. Veggie Mac & Cheese. It uses boxed mac and cheese, and frozen vegetables. I deviated a little from the recipe, since some of the kids didn’t want the veggies mixed in the mac & cheese. Instead of cooking the veggies in with the macaroni, I cooked them separately. Those that wanted them mixed in, did it themselves.
It was very good. Even though I’m not a fan of boxed mac & cheese. Easy to make, and was nice with the fish fillets. Some of the kids had chicken, since they don’t like fish. I have a feeling, though, that some of the kids will be asking for boxed mac & cheese all the time now.
One of my families favorite meals is homemade meatball subs. Last week, we had semi-homemade meatball subs. I bought frozen meatballs, jarred sauce, and sub rolls from the deli. They are seriously easy. Dump the meatballs and sauce in a pan. Heat until meatballs are hot. Serve on bread with cheese. We used provolone and parmesan. Because 2 cheeses is better than 1! lol
I have another new, easy recipe on the menu this week. Orange Pepper Steak. Hope the family likes it!
