Cupcakes Kisses 'n' Crumbs

18 April 2016

Today is my hubby's birthday! He is not the celebration type, and he woke up not feeling great today so we aren't doing anything big (just the usual baseball and softball)

But I do want to make sure we show him how much we love him!

This week I plan on a few little things to add to my schedule to bless my Mr.

Things like:

~Going to take his truck for a quick wash if the rain holds off. If not, I will just clean the inside of it for him.

~Hiding the To Do list for the week, he doesn't get much free time and this week I hope he can just keep it free!

~If he is feeling better and has his sense of taste back I am making his favorite treat! If you haven't made them yet, try them today! RECIPE

~And hoping his schedule this week isn't too busy for lunch one day!

I wanted to add some more to this list!

Have any suggestions?!

Sports Night Meal Plan Round 2

Well last week was our first week of games, I was not very well prepared! This week though I have some meal ideas ready and am really hoping for no surprises this week! All of this weeks meals will be dished up into disposable cups, not my favorite but for 6-8 weeks it's just what works! Sometimes it's only 1 that has to eat on the way, for those nights that most of us can eat outside of the car, I am loving this picnic basket. Collapsible so it doesn't take a ton of room and insulated!

Monday

Shepard's pie

I'm making 2, 1 for the freezer! I just layer, ground turkey that is mixed with corn and a little gravy then mashed potatoes and cheese on top. Took us a while to find a combo the kids would eat.

Tuesday

Burritos

Leftover ground turkey, rice and seasoning with cheese.

Wednesday

Spaghetti

Ground turkey in hubby's but the kids are not a fan.

Thursday

Steak salad roll ups

I just use some thin cut steaks and roll them up with the salad fixens in romaine!

Friday

Teriyaki chicken ~~bowls~~ cups

Our kids just like rice, chicken, edamame and pineapple with teriyaki sauce.

Going to prep all the meat today to save time later in the week because I know I have a few busy mornings this week. I need to try some new recipes too, just a little worried our picky eaters will be starving at their games if it's a no go.

Sports Season Meals

Here we are in week 1 of games, and I didn't do a lot of plannin', but I have some ideas and have today figured out. That is as far as I have gotten!

I just tossed some pork roasts in the pressure cooker with some stone ground mustard and bbq sauce and seasoning that I didn't measure, because I don't measure much. I did enough for at least 3 meals. We will have it tonight for dinner and I will put enough for a meal in the freezer for later.

Our kids like bbq pork nachos too, so I can make that a meal, or lunch meal for them.

I am making a double (or triple) batch of meatloaf tomorrow, going to slice them up and freeze the slices for easy lunches and dinner to go.

And these gems are going to make my life easier as soon as they get here! Who knew?! Reusable, freezer, microwave and dishwasher?! Genius!

I haven't made it to Wednesday in my planning yet. But I know we will have orange chicken and edamame with rice at least 1 day this week.

Spring Sports Life Prep

It's Baseball/Softball/T-Ball Season!

And things are already crazy! This year we added an additional insane element to our spring schedule. I'm coaching one of the teams, yikes! And we also just added running club 2 days a week, because I don't know how not be overly busy I guess.

What this all means for me as a mama and wife is that I need to have my act together. Bad news? I don't, not even close!

I need to have some better dinner options that are easy and filling and also get my schedule for 3 teams down. Our gear better organized in the cars. I need a Spring Sports Survival Guide!

Where is that?!

This Mama knows what I am talking about!

I'm going to need some ideas! I see some late night Pinterest browsing in my future! Follow me and send me your favorites! https://www.pinterest.com/brittanieg/

I am hoping to have a meal plan in place for next week, when our games start and maybe my car will have everything I need in it too!

Fall Sports had me doing the same thing. HERE
But since then it has fallen out of organization BIG TIME!

Any favorite organizing tips for the car?
