Chicken!

This week, I ran out of grocery money so I have been having to improvise!
Day one was a Chicken Milanese - Which I had everything for!
Here is that meal! It was so good!!

And today was supposed to be Shrimp Scampi, but I didnt have the items for that so I move don to Wednesday - which I had everything for, but it was so similar to yesterdays, I changed it up a bit - it called for rice, but I opted to use noodles - and it is def not gluten free as I didnt have the right noodles...

It was a Chicken Broccoli Casserole and it was GOOOOOD!!!

Here is a photo of that...

Yummmm!

Turkey, Ham and Mushroom - Oh My!

I have clearly been slacking this week! Or just havent had time, I am SO sorry!

Here are the meals I prepared for the rest of this week.
They were all hit EXCEPT - the mushroom linguine. Which, by the way, I was looking forward to the most! I was so sad! My husband and I managed to get it down, but the kids didnt even touch it. I take that back, they did try it, but made a face. Skylar even refused my offer of cookies to eat it! Geesh!

It probably would have been better with non-gluten free pasta, or more oil, or more cheese. Something. It just lacked flavor. And the citrus dressing was sooooo citrus-y. Ah well. Cant win them all!

Here are the photos combined into one post!
Enjoy!
