Easy Dinner Plan for Three

This week my husband is away and I need a week of easy meals. After a long day at work and driving the kids to and from all their activities I get lazy in the evenings. I need quick meals that I can get on the table in less than 30 minutes. Fortunately my two lovely children are easy to please. I already have a request for chicken caesar wraps for lunches this week so that covers that item. Next on the list...what to have for dinner?


Easy Dinner Plan:

Sunday
Make Your Own Pizza with Veggies and Dip
 
Monday
Chicken Taquitos (Make Ahead)

Tuesday
Chicken Soup (Make Ahead) with Veggie Sandwiches

Wednesday
Chicken Tortellini and Tomato Sauce (Store Bought) with Caesar Salad

Thursday
Sloppy Joes (I think I'll try this Everyday Food recipe but with Turkey)
Update: Tried this recipe but used ground chicken thigh (no turkey at the store) and added a small  tbsp. of apple cider vinegar and a small tbsp. of brown sugar. This recipe was a hit with kids and I thought it was delicious. It was quick and easy and I am having the leftovers over pasta for lunch tomorrow.

Friday (My Honey is HOME!)
Lasagna with Garlic Bread


Lunches for the Week:
Fruit - Grapes, Apple
Veggie - Tomatoes, Pepper, Celery, Carrots
Yogurt
Chicken Caesar Wraps
Granola Bar, Pretzels or Other Recess Snack
