I wanted to re-post to give you recipes for the weekend! If you have kids at home today, make sure to take advantage of the printable shopping list and don’t stress yourself out this week trying to get dinner on the table. Print the list, see what you have already at home and take a trip to the store today. Then post a schedule on the fridge so you already know each day what meal you are having and all the ingredients are already bought. This way it is easier to avoid making quick trips to the store that cost you more money.
The Shrinking Kitchen.Monday - Lasagna Soup from The Shrinking Kitchen. I saw this on Pinterest and added it a few weeks ago to our menu plan. We fell in LOVE! I doubled it and we had it for lunch all week long. it is AWESOME!
The Shrinking Kitchen.Tuesday – Turkey Burgers - From The Shrinking Kitchen.. We have turkey burgers every now and then. We also like to eat them on the sandwich thins. We actually eat almost all our burgers on sandwich thins now. They are just the right amount of bread. We are really trying hard to cut out the bread lately.
The Shrinking Kitchen.Wednesday - The Shrinking Kitchen. - To make this dish much easier, I just buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it. This saves a bunch of time. OR put the chicken in the crock pot and have it really cooked and shred easy to use! Plus, Paul and I will eat this for lunch Thursday and Friday.
The Shrinking Kitchen.Thursday - The Shrinking Kitchen. - From Fitness Magazine. Don’t let the ginger part scare you or make you think it is a difficult recipe . It isn’t at all. You can buy the meat already cubed and surprisingly my kids like it
We serve over brown rice and it is a really filling meal.
The Shrinking Kitchen.Friday – Healthy & Hearty Taco Casserole - From The Shrinking Kitchen. This looks really good, easy and I have everything for it! I can’t wait to try it!

I made the lasagna soup a couple of nights ago. It was a HUGE hit. I have had some requests for the recipe as well. Thanks for the idea and the recipe.
