What's for Dinner: September 22 - September 28

If you follow me on Instagram, then you may remember seeing that our kids started taking swim lessons earlier this year. Our daughter's skills improved so much over six months that we looked into other local swim programs that we could enroll her in after she completed the available courses at the swim school.

She recently tried out for a spot on a local youth swim team, and she made the team! 

Before joining, though, we had her complete a trial week with the team to get a feel for the time commitment and the rhythm of the swim practices. And... she loves it.

So, we're swim parents now!

That means changing how I approach menu planning and meal prepping. Don't be surprised if you start seeing more slow-cooker meals or meals I can prep ahead of time to reheat later in the week.

For now, here's our menu plan for this week.

Sunday: Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings 

Monday: Caprese Pasta Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes 

Tuesday: Honey Garlic Shrimp, Corn, and Avocado Bacon Salad 

 

Wednesday: Buffet Night

Thursday: Dad's Choice

Friday: Dinner Out

Saturday: Dinner Out
