Super horrible confession: it has been at least two weeks since I have cooked.
It's true. We have been living off sandwiches, fast food, chips and salsa, and desserts. Here's my excuse...I have been working SO much, like five 12 hour shifts a week, and I just can't face the grocery store or the kitchen. But hey, all that is changing this week and the husband is doing his happy dance. : ) He doesn't really have a happy dance, but he would be doing it if he had one.
Here's what's on our menu for this week:
- Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
- Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti
- Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken
- Taco Pizza
- Crock Pot Chicken Tacos
And y'all know there is always a dessert over here!
- Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats
- Smores Treats
- Cinnamon Roll Cake (I made this last week and it was DELICIOUS! So we are having it again!)
Seriously, menu planning is SO much easier now that I have my friend Pinterest.
What are y'all eating this week? Anyone been a major slacker like me? Anyone?? ; )
Love, love!
PS: Happy Halloween! Be safe!!

looks all so yummy! i need to cook more too ;) thank goodness for pinterest that can help solve those problems with a click of a button!
I really need to start going to bed earlier, BEFORE I see amazing photos of food on your blog and then decide that I want to bake/cook at 12am.
Seriously. Especially cream cheese spaghetti. I have never heard of that before, but I can't see how it could NOT be amazing. :O
Haha, I plan my meals every week, but sometimes I am just too tired to cook. And I am totally stealing some of those recipes, because they sound delish. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a good cook (learned from my mom and grandmother and have some of my mother-in-law's recipes too), so if there's ever anything you want to make and you want an easy recipe, don't hesitate to ask. My goal is to make yummy things as quickly and easily as possible! :)
check back on my blog later this week, once I get one more follower, I'm having a giveaway you *may* be interested in!
Delish! Everything on here looks so good - especially that baked cream cheese spaghetti!
If I was hubby, I would be happy too :)

oh my gosh! cheese overload! i love it!
Oh yummy... your menu plan looks pretty tasty to me! We've been slacking in our household this week too. Yesterday we had a cookie and a chocolate croissant and mocha ice storms at Nordstrom, and then we ate pumpkin pancakes for dinner. We both ended up starving at about 8pm.... so we snacked on some hummus and pretzels haha. #mealplanfail
Eventually I think we'll get a crock pot. Can't wait to hear how everything turns out. (:
Oh man... I think I just got some delicious ideas from this pics!
all looks sooo yummy! I have been doing a pinterest cooking month! I vowed that I would cook something different from pinterest or a food blog every WEEK day for an entire month! this week is week number 3! if the hubby had a happy dance he would be doing it as well!!
I made the cinnamon roll cake for church a few weeks ago and everyone's been talking about it ever since!
MMMMMMMMMM that spaghetti dish looks amazing adn i have totally made the cake batter rice krispies. They taste as delicious as they sound. Seriously...cake batter?!?! WHODA THOUGHT!
i need to start cooking more for kurt to prepare for wife-hood haha

I have that cinnamon roll cake pinned & have been wanting to try it. I might just do that now since you recommend it!
Let me know how those dumplings turn out. I've been thinking of trying them too.
Well, now I'm starving. LOL.
Those chicken & dumplings and cake batter rice krispie treats look amazing!
I found that Hawaiian BBQ chicken on Pinterest too and I've made it 3times already. It is so easy and so delicious!!!! I just found a White Chicken Chili and made it last night and it was yummy too.

I'm trying to get back on the meal plan train too. Good luck!!!!!
All of that food looks amazing!! You are the best wife :)
I have to admit, I am horrible...My husband is the cook in my house! Those meals look delicious, especially the tacos which are my favorite! Glad to hear your schedule is calming down a bit!
Amen for the crockpot!! Looks like you've got some great recipes. Everyone goes through the slump every once in awhile!
~Check out my giveaway on my blog!
I have been getting my recipes and home organizational ideas from Pinterest, too.
Well, now I'm starving. And I think I may make some Chicken & Dumplings for dinner tonight.
I'm. On. My. Way.

YES! to those Crock-pot Chicken and Dumplings!!!!!!!! They are PHENOMENAL!!!!! Seriously. Phenomenal. In fact, we may have that again this week. And pleaseeeee let me know how everything else turns out, especially that Taco Pizza!!! I've been eyeing that recipe since it first got pinned!!!! And I want picture texts of EVERYTHING!!! Please and thank you. :)
Looks so good! Pinterest does make meal plans so much easier!
Taco Pizza is on our menu this week too!
You. Made. Me. Hungry!
Oh yes maam I have been a slacker :) Chips & salsa for dinner last night! I'm going to look into those chicken & dumplings for this week!!
Hey-- it's been MORE than two weeks since I have cooked. So it's nothing to be ashamed of. It just means we have super busy lives and our priorities lie elsewhere!
However, it really is something that I want to change...I'm going to work on it. I really like the look of that cream cheese baked spaghetti, I may have to try that one.
Happy Halloween!
Okay, definitely copying you and making the chicken and dumplings bc that looks like the PERFECT fall dish for us this week!
Happy cooking!
Yum...that cinnamon roll looks scrumptious!
I'm coming over for dinner! K?
Everything looks amazing! I love pinterest and always use it for baking and cooking inspiration!
YUM I need to make that cinnamon roll one looks delish!!
"He doesn't really have a happy dance, but he would be doing it if he had one." -- you're too funny!
I love your menu, sounds so yummy! I really need to try that cake, it looks amazing!!!!
I WANT that Taco Pizza!! I've never found a good taco pizza recipe that was as good as the pizza we used to get at a local shop in my hometown. It closed years ago and I've been craving taco pizza ever since. I'm definitely going to give this one a try!
Alright deary, after you make the crockpot chicken, let me know how they turn out. I'm a-thinkin' thats somethin' I wanna make. ..but only if you say they're good. ;) It all rides on you!!

Never fear, I'm a slacker too... I go to work and then to class and don't get home until 9pm and by then, too late to cook usually!
Those smores look amazing!
WOW!!! Everything looks amazing!! I want some of that cinnamon roll cake, delish!
I agree Pinterest has def helped me with meals, even just giving me more ideas! I just pinned two of these and followed you!!
I may have to steal a recipe or two from you. (especially the desserts, yumyum)
I am guilty of not going to the grocery store. I can't bring myself to make a whole meal (and mess) for just myself (james works late every day during the week-oh the life) I usually don't eat or just eat soup (my fav)
wow! make me hungry!! ;)
happy halloween!!!
The taco pizza looks amazing! Looking at meals on pinterest is so so much fun. Good luck with all of your meals!! :)
I've SOOO been wanting to try that cinnamon roll cake! It looks so delicious...does it really taste like a cinnamon roll?
5 12's?? Meg, how are you still alive? That would KILL me! You are super woman :)
And I don't see how living off of chips and salsa is a bad thing?...
Pinterest is full of too many amazing recipes! I love it! Let me know how the Mexican pizza is!
The thought of 1 12-hr day exhausts me, I can't imagine 5. Your menu looks great!! Let us know how everything turns out.
Ok, you are definitely making up for lost time in the kitchen! My mouth is watering! xoxo
Yum! dont all these recipes look divine!

So, I'm coming to your house every night this week for dinner...so you can teach me how to cook and be a better wife!!! LOL! You are amazing! I want dumplings!!!!!!
Wow! You're going all out! I'm getting hungry looking at those pictures. Maybe you'll find me on your front door step at dinner time! haha!
Nate had field training for 10 days this month and I didn't cook a single thing while he was gone. I felt gross not cooking!
You are still doing a LOT better than I am! I am making myself cook once this week....and then we'll go from there! :)
PS- Send some of that cinnamon cake my way. YUM.

I am definitely eating at your house tonight!
You have NO IDEA how long I've been scowering (sp?) the internet for that spaghetti casserole recipe! My friend made it months ago and I've been dying to make it ever since... so YOU are now my hero! :)
Umm, yes please!! I'll take them all!! I made the cinnamon roll cake too and it's probably my favorite new dessert!!
