The summer makes it harder to plan but I made

Mac n cheese and chicken nuggets for kids, leftover enchiladas for adults
Breakfast for dinner (waffles, milk bacon and fruit)
Hodgepodge (yogurt, protein muffins, plain pasta fruit and leftovers for everyone else, turkey sandwich for me)
Not sure what tomorrow brings but we will eat out at least once this weekend. I am really over cooking if you can’t tell

Tonight was what I call pasta bake lol. It’s like baked ziti cept I never have ziti. I it’s just pasta, Raos sauce, rotisserie chicken mixed together, mozzarella cheese on top and broiled for a couple mins.
20 min dinner. Made enough for leftovers tomorrow.
Last night was pesto marinated salmon, potatoes ( microwaved) and peas/corn. Also a 20 min dinner.

Waiting for the rifs tomorrow, so it's been fast food and chicken tenders the whole week. We are in a rough patch.
