This week is going to be CRAZY! We're having VBS at our church this week so we'll need to be out the door by 5:30pm. We'll eat dinner at home and take dads dinner to him so he can scarf it down before he goes to teach class! We're so looking forward to it...our kids all love to attend VBS. So...even though we'll be away from home each night this week, we'll still be able to have normal meals...except Monday because we are also having a bowling day with our homeschool group. :)
I'm also going to start planning our meals for Saturday and Sunday. In the past, I've kind of flew by the seat of my pants but that's clearly NOT working! Saturdays are usually pretty laid back so I'll plan a big pot of something and they eat on that throughout the day. Sunday afternoon is utter chaos, hungry children and having to stop by the store is NO fun so...we'll probably have a crockpot meal or something that can be popped into the oven. I really don't like stopping by the store on the way home to pick something up...it's simply too expensive.
So...here's what's on our menu:
Monday - meal out (between skating and VBS)
Tuesday - Scalloped potatoes with turkey ham (crockpot meal)
Wednesday - Cheesy Chicken enchiladas with green salad
Thursday - BBQ chicken sandwiches on homemade wheat buns
Friday - Family pizza night
Saturday - Italian Vegetable soup with wheat crackers (recipe to come)
Sunday - Beef stroganoff served over egg noodles
What's on your plate this week?

Crockpot Chicken & Dressing
We love turkey and dressing...or chicken and dressing and we like to have it more than just at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This casserole fits the bill....it's easy and it's great for the summer when you don't want to heat the house up using the oven although you can put it in the oven.
2 pounds chicken, cooked, deboned and cut into bite size pieces (use the pieces you like, light or dark meat)
2 packages cornbread dressing (16oz)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 medium onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
water
This is really easy! Mix everything together except the water. You might need some and you might not...just add it if you need it. You're going for a well moisten consistency. Spray your crockpot with non-stick spray to make clean up easier. Dump the mixture into the crockpot and smooth out the top. Cook on low, 3-4 hours.
If you want to bake it in the oven....spread it in a 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
It's so yummy and creamy....I hope you like it as much as our family does. By the way, this is a great "make ahead" meal...put it in the fridge or freezer and have it later so feel free to make a double batch. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Crockpot Beef Stroganoff
My friend, Shelly, shared this recipe with me and it's wonderful. I hope you like it as much as we did and the best part....it's a crockpot dish! Well....mostly. :)
2-3 pound beef roast or steak, as lean as possible (cheap cuts can be used for this dish)
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can GOLDEN Cream of Mushroom soup - this is a name brand soup
2 packages onion soup mix
3 T. flour
3 T butter, softened
8 oz. sour cream
16 oz package of egg noodles
Put the beef, soups, onion soup mix all into your crockpot. Cook on low 5-6 hours or high 3-4 hours. Basically, you want the meat to fall apart. 30 minutes before dinner, cook noodles to directions...you want them a little undercooked. Drain and rinse them with cool water so they stop the cooking process.
Make a paste with the butter and flour, set aside. Remove the meat and shred it and toss with noodles, set aside. Now using a whisk, mix up the stuff in the crockpot and add the butter/flour mixture and mix it together well. Now add the sour cream and mix well. Pour the "sauce" over the noodles and beef and mix well. Serve warm. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Menu Plan Monday
Since it's gotten so hot here in Arkansas I am trying really hard not to use my oven. Instead, I've been using my crockpot for a lot of things and adapting some "oven" meals to the crockpot....most of the time, they turn out pretty well!
I haven't planned our menu in some time and it's really showed. We've also had pasta a lot lately so this week we're having some potatoes a little more. So here is our menu for this week!
Monday - Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Tuesday -Taco Salad
Wednesday - Scalloped Potatoes with Turkey Ham
Thursday - Salisbury steaks, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob
Friday - Family Pizza night
What are you having for dinner?

Crock-pot Scalloped Potatoes with (Turkey) Ham
This has become one of our favorite meals. I'll make it and add a side dish of veggies to go with it and since we don't eat pork, I always use Turkey ham purchased from Aldi's.
Crock-pot Scalloped Potatoes with (Turkey) Ham
2 cups diced turkey ham
1 medium onion chopped
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/2-1 can of milk (use the soup can to measure)
10-14 slices of American cheese, grated
4-5 pounds of potatoes, sliced thin (I slice them as I go so I don't accidentally slice more than I need)
Mix the soup and milk in a container....you'll use just enough milk to make it pour easily. Spray your crockpot with cooking spray to make clean up easier. Add in layers ....potatoes, onion, turkey ham, cheese, then pour on half the soup mixture. Continue until you have two full layers. Set crock pot on HIGH and allow to cook for 4 hours.
You can also do this in a 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. We stick a fork in the middle to check them. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
