Menu Plan 2/20 – Lasagna Soup & More

By 2 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

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.

Monday – Lasagna Soup from A Farm Girls Dabbles.  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!

Tuesday – Turkey Burgers – From The Girl Who Ate Everything. 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.

Wednesday – Simple Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas – 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.

Thursday – Slow Cooker Gingered Beef and Vegetables – 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.

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!

  • 1 medium onion , chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

  3. Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in 9×13″ baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with no-stick cooking spray.
  4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly; gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to boiling, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and green chiles; pour sauce evenly over enchiladas.

Cherry Pie Pops

From Pillsbury

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
 About 1/2 cup cherry pie filling (from 21-oz can)
16 to 20 lollipop sticks
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar (raw sugar)

DIRECTIONS

1Heat oven to 425°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray, or line with silicone baking mats.2Sprinkle flour on work surface. Unroll pie crusts onto surface. Using 3-inch wide drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut rounds from crusts; place on cookie sheet. (Leftover pastry can be rolled in a ball and rolled out with a rolling pin. Cut to make additional rounds.)3To make each pie pop, lightly press lollipop stick into crust round so that it rests in center. Top each round with 1/2 teaspoon pie filling; cover with second crust round. With fork or lollipop stick, press around edges to seal. Brush tops of pops with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar.4Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely on cooling racks.
Any pie filling will work for this recipe.
If you want to double the recipe, one 21-ounce can is more than enough pie filling for 2 boxes of pie crusts.

Hershey’s Fruit Pizza Recipe

The Hershey’s Fruit Pizza recipe is a beautiful and appropriate dessert for Valentine’s dinner. This is a recipe I have been making since I was 17 years old and is one that we never get tired of. It is a little time consuming but don’t let that scare you. I just didn’t want you to start it 1 hour before dinner. 🙂

First you have to create your base.
This will be 3/4 cup butter softened, 1 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup powered sugar. Now, I always double mine because I like the crust a little thicker….

Then press it into a pizza pan, mine is about 18″. The kids like to help with this part…


Bake at 300 degrees, 20 -25 min. until lightly browned.


Now you need your sauce, or vanilla filling. Did I mention this is really low calorie??? 🙂 Melt the vanilla chips with the whipping cream and beat in the cream cheese.


Spread onto the COOLED crust. I throw it into the fridge at this point while I do everything else. Yummmm, now I just have to keep the kids fingers out!


Cut up your favorite fruit (usually whats on sale!) Pineapple is a must, and so are strawberries!  Try to use as many different colors as possible. I also usually use a can of mandarine oranges. Than start spreading the fresh fruit out on the cold crust. This is the kids job!


Isn’t it pretty?! Throw it back in the fridge or put it somewhere safe so no one can snatch any fruit off the top.


Now it is time to make the glaze. You might be tempted to skip this part because it is so pretty already, but this will keep the fruit on the pizza, and keep anything from getting brown, like if you used banana’s. I also double this part. Combine in a small sauce pan until thick and pour over pizza.
I try and pour quick and then use a small spatula to spread it out thinly and evenly…


Here it is, I keep mine in the fridge. You will NOT have any leftovers I promise! People will think you bought it from a store, it is so pretty!

How to make a Baked Potato Bar

By 3 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I know it is weird to get excited about seeing a coupon, but I actually did when I saw this Lloyd’s one! This is one of our favorite meals in the Ivanovsky household, a baked potato bar! Plus, I didn’t have anything planned for dinner and so this is what we are having!!

> $1.00 off 1 LLOYD’S tubs or BBQ < This is the coupon that you will want!

A baked potato bar is not a new idea and I am sure you have done it many times… but recently we “rediscovered” this dinner idea and it continues to be a huge hit around here!

I like potato bar’s because they are easy and cheap. We usually can find many toppings in the fridge and I rarely have to pick anything up at the store for it, the only thing I have to do is get them in the oven in time :)

I always butter and salt the potatoes with kosher salt and wrap them in foil, my husband tells me this is why he loves me! This is a good job for the kids. ** I think they turn out better when you don’t wrap them in foil, but it makes a mess of my oven and smokes even with a pan underneath…

A month or so ago I got a great deal on this BBQ. I usually make my own but it was so cheap I thought I would try it. I bought a bunch and threw them in the freezer. When we have baked potatoes we use 2 for my family. I toss them in the microwave and we top the potatoes with it.

This is a picture of my daughters plate, I forgot to take one of mine and my husbands, we had ours TOPPED with everything! It was prettier that way! We usually have sour cream, cheese, butter, green onions, pulled pork, and salt and pepper.

Here are some ideas of what you can put in your bar:

Vegetables
mushrooms, sauteed
fresh or frozen peas
onions
celery
carrots
tomatoes
olives
avocado slices or chunks
broccoli
cauliflower florets
sweet bell pepper
jalapenos		 Sauces and Dressings
flavored sour creams,
such as chipolte, truffle, cilantro
Ranch dressing
sour cream dips
seasoned butters
garlic butter
cheese sauces
Meat sauces such as stroganoff
Marinara sauce
Alfredo sauce
chili
nacho cheese or chili con queso		 Meats
flaked tuna
smoked salmon
bacon bits
shredded ham
grilled or creamed chicken
shredded or crumbled ground beef
stroganoff or beef tips
chopped barbecue
blue cheese
shredded Parmesan cheese
tiny shrimps scampi		 Exotic and Gourmet toppings
chopped fresh herbs
pesto
sauted spinach with garlic
stir fried baby vegetables
roasted red peppers
mixed grilled vegetables
caviar or fish roe
dipping oils
truffle oil
sliced toasted almonds
chopped water chestnuts

 

Baked Potato bars are really good to serve to big groups and company, Ellen’s Kitchen has methods on how to transport and arrange Potato Bars for large crowds.

Chicken Wrapped Bacon Recipe

If you are like me, you have a LOT of bacon and chicken right now 🙂 My friend Nicole E. sent over a recipe that she made over the weekend using both the chicken and bacon!

From Nicole:

This recipe was super easy. This recipe is more on an appetizer scale, but we modified it using regular sized chicken breasts (I would def cut Zycon’s breasts in half.) Oh, we are a family of 5 and only needed one box cream cheese for 5 rolls. Use as much bacon as you want!  I pounded out the Chicken flatter so it rolled up better.  We used regular cream cheese and chopped up some chives. I thought it needed some fresh garlic mixed in, that would’ve been good. Salt and Pep of course.  We also chopped up some Jalapenos and stuck those in there (we took seeds out, hardly any spice at all.)
