We made it through our first week of summer vacation! It was a fun week, full of swimming, books, movies and relaxation 🙂
After several very hot days, it cooled off enough over the weekend that I felt it was fine to go ahead and plan a few meals that use the oven. I’m even going to give tuna casserole another try…the last time I made it, my kids were not big fans, but I saw somewhere that another mom used goldfish crackers on top of her tuna casserole instead of regular bread crumbs, and I thought to myself that it might just be a hit with my kids.
Here’s what’s on our menu this week:
Monday: Mac and Cheesedog Casserole, salad
Tuesday: Turkey Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, veggies
Wednesday: Brown Bag Burritos, corn
Thursday: Skillet Tuna Noodle Casserole, broccoli
Friday: Breakfast for dinner–eggs, sausage, toast, fruit
Saturday: Eat Out
Sunday: Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry, rice

What’s on your menu this week?

June 29, 2015 at 4:03 pmI’m trying to stay away from the oven this week, too. I usually use Ritz crackers on Tuna Casserole, but Goldfish – that’s just brilliant!
Erin says
June 29, 2015 at 7:57 pmI know, right!?! It’s so clever…and since my son adores Goldfish, I’m hoping he’ll eat it all up!
Thanks so much for stopping by today Lori! Have a great week 🙂

June 29, 2015 at 9:27 pmMy mom used to make a tuna and noodle dish when I was a kid, and I loved it. I think it was an easy meal for her to whip up for us six kids. 🙂
I hope your kids end up enjoying the new variation!

July 2, 2015 at 7:57 pmIt’s such a nice, comforting dish, isn’t it? I don’t know why my kids don’t want to eat it…I’m hoping now that they’re older they will like it better (and the goldfish too!) 🙂
