Menu Plan Monday: first week of school menu!

My kids head back to school this week! Football season has also started for us, which means that my son has football price for almost 2 hours three nights a week. My daughter also has swimming practice 4 nights a week for an hour, so it’s some crazy times around our house! Since it’s 100 degrees outside, we don’t want “heavy” dinners, and I don’t want to wait until after practice and feed my kids at 9 pm either, so here are some quick fixes for busy nights!

SUNDAY: Lasagne – The night before school starts, our tradition is to have a “Back to School Dinner” The kids pick out a favorite meal and we talk about goals for the upcoming school year. This week it was lasagne!

MONDAY: Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken – I love this recipe because I can dump all of the ingredients in the crockpot and it does all the work. Plus, the sauce is SOO yummy that you’ll want to lick your plate clean!

TUESDAY: Chicken Quesadillas – My son has football for 2 hours on Tuesday nights and my daughter has swimming for an hour. I try to plan quick and easy recipes that will get them fed, but won’t weigh them down. This is a great way to use up leftover chicken meat, too!

WEDNESDAY: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Burritos – One of these days, I will actually get this recipe written up, but it’s seriously SO EASY! I throw a pork roast in the crockpot with a can of red enchilada sauce (the smaller size) and some taco seasoning! I cook on low for 6-8 hours, shred the meat, and add beans and other taco “fixings”
