My Third and final college girl moved home over the weekend! We are so excited to have her back home while she finishes up her college internship next fall. So we are back to a house of five – which means lots of help in the kitchen! Lots of planning, cooking and leftovers will help get us through a busy summer of sharing cars, chores and space!
Monday – chicken Stir Fry
Tuesday – Quinoa Black Bean Burgers
Wednesday – Wild Rice Meatballs with spaghetti squash and marinara
Here is one of our family favorites. This makes a lot of burgers and they reheat for leftovers nicely. Serve on a bun or wrap in lettuce! Also makes a great salad topper for lunch on day two, or three!
