Good morning! I’m a single parent this weekend, and so far, we’re surviving. After a few nap battles, I’m hoping for a smooth afternoon today- I’d like to nap, too!
It’s week #7 of the menu planning challenge. Here are a few of last week’s dinners:
We really liked Katie’s Lentil Sloppy Joes last week (good over steamed spinach or on a roll), and black bean enchiladas are always a hit. We topped our spaghetti squash with a minestrone-like soup, and made some delicious pumpkin muffins.
On this week’s menu:
Sunday: Eggs/pancakes or leftovers (just L and I)
Monday: Butternut Squash Curry over quinoa
Tuesday: Shrimp Arribbiata
Wednesday: Sweet potato chili
Thursday: Broccoli tofu stir fry
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Date night
Have you tried Popchips yet? They have quickly become a popular snack. They taste like a potato chip, but are much healthier. That crunch is addictive! Here’s a quote from their website:
Popping is a way of making our naturally delicious chips. We start with the finest ingredients, add a little heat and pressure, and pop! it’s a chip. All that’s added is a flavorful blend of seasonings to create taste-bud popping flavors that appeal to the whole family
I love that the ingredient list is short, with no artificial ingredients, hydrogenated oils or fake flavors. They would love to give one of you a case of PopChips!
This giveaway is open to everyone, whether or not you link up for menu planning. The winner will be announced next Sunday, November 18th. Use the Rafflecopter below to enter.

OOOhhhhhhh sweet potato! I love sweet potato chips, so that would be my choice, so I could compare!

Their BBQ is amazing, I would love to try the Sour Cream and Onion too.
That Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili recipe looks good. I just pinned it and think it’ll get made this week for myself. I feel like every week these days only has 1-2 nights that I cook and I’ve been so bad at planning. Tonight I’m making breakfast for dinner, and that’s all I’ve got. My husband’s birthday is Thursday, so there are a bunch of dinners out.
Hey – since I have Thanksgiving planning on the brain, next Sunday we should all share our Thanksgiving menus. I may need a few ideas
