What We Eat In A Week | Homemade Meal Ideas For Busy Families

April 30, 2020

I love sharing what I am cooking, while I’m cooking it on Instagram stories but I never save those videos, so I thought a Youtube video and this blog post would be the perfect format to start sharing what our family eats in a week!

You can reference the recipes during the week while you are meal planning, or just use this resource as inspiration while you’re in the kitchen cooking for your own family.

The recipes I shared are all simple and quick and I will share all the recipes I used below.

Recipes featured:

Monday: Homemade Wonton Soup

Tuesday: Special Spaghetti

Wednesday: Sourdough pancakes and bacon

Thursday: Homemade Margarita Pizza

Friday: Easy chicken, potato wedges and cucumber salad

Homemade Wonton Soup

This Wonton Soup recipe has been in our family for ages! We grew up with our parents serving this at Wonton Soup parties. They would have a bunch of their friends over and everyone would gather around the table and scoop the meat into the noodles and fold, fold, fold. My sisters and I loved these Wonton Soup nights! We have carried on my parents wonton soup recipe but mainly serve it to our own families now. It seems complicated but it is actually very simple to make and makes the perfect lunch and is also perfect for a quick dinner! Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a couple days or even frozen.

Servings 6 people

Equipment

  • bowl, stand mixer (optional), large pot, laddle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean pork
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1-2 tsp garlic powder depending on how much you like the flavour of garlic, we love it so I use the full 2 tsp
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 can water chesnuts chopped I buy the can of sliced instead of whole
  • 1 package wonton noodles Store bought. These will be found in the cooler section of your grocery store. I have found them in a coller near the produce section or when the store has it in a cooler full of Asian foods.
  • 1 carton chicken stock
  • 1 bunch green onions for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • I like to mix up all my ingredients minus the wonton noodles in my stand mixer, but my parents mixed theirs by hand.
    Once the ingrediants are well combined, layout all your noodles on a flat surface. I like to lay them all out at once because it makes for faster production!
    Grab a small spoon and scoop about 3 tsp into a wonton noodle. You could of course add more meat in but we have found that less is in fact more in this recipe.
    Once all your noodles have meat placed in them, fold your noodle over by taking one corner and folding directly over to the corner across from it to create a triangle. Then gently push your fingers around the meat to seal it into the noodle (you can watch this folding method in my video). Do this for all your noodles and place in a large bowl.
    Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt the water liberally and put in 2 tbsp of oil to keep the noodles from clumping together when cooking. Place in 1/3 of your noodles once the water is at a boil and let the water come back to a boil, then set your timer for 7 min. Scoop your cooked noodles out with a slotted spoon into a bowl that also has 1 tbsp of oil in it to keep the noodles from sticking together.
    Repeat until all your noodles are cooked. Serve with hot chicken stock and a sprinkling of green onions.
    Enjoy!

Homemade Margarita Pizza

Every Thursday night is family movie night at our house and I make homemade pizza! Our family's favourite (or maybe its just mine but the rest happily eat it almost every week) is my homemade margarita pizza. The secret to this recipe being so so so delicious is the brown sugar I add to eat! Make sure not to skip that step when making this pizza, its essential!

Sourdough Pancake Recipe from Tastes Of Lizzyt.

I tried this sourdough pancake recipe because it didn’t require rising time of the dough hah and it was delicious!

You’ll Never Go Back Chicken

I will never cook my chicken another way after cooking it this way. It's so easy, my family loves it and the best part, you can cook with frozen chicken breasts!
Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Total Time 35 mins
Servings 6 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 Container chicken stock
  • 6 frozen chicken breasts reduce cooking time if your chicken is fresh

Instructions
 

  • This recipe is so easy, one can almost not call it a recipe, BUT I shared it on Instagram and recieved so many request for it to be made into an actual recipe card. So here you go!
    Place your butter and oil in the bottom of a large pan and cook on medium high until the butter is melted. Add your frozen chicken breasts on top and cover with chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook with a lid on until the liquid has reduced and is almost gone, about 30 min, but do keep an eye on it because you can burn your chicken if your cooks down faster. Once the liquid is almost gone remove lid and let the chicken saute in the butter and oil that is still in the bottom of you pan for a couple min. allowing to become nice and golden. Flip and crisp up the other side.
    And thats it! This recipe is the perfect chicken recipe because you are left with a golden, buttery chicken breast that is still tender and not dry on the inside.
    I store leftovers in my fridge in a bowl of chicken stock. This removes that weird "next day chicken" taste that I hate!

I know I do!

Good morning 💛🌿 Here is a beautiful view of Good morning 💛🌿 Here is a beautiful view of my sister @lindsayjbolton ‘s new bathroom! Links for these products are in the link in my bio.

The real show stopper in this room is that glorious tub. Styling a bathroom can be tricky, and you don’t really need very much. A beautiful rug is key and a spot to hold your book near the tub is 👌🏻 we just used a dining chair and added something green for extra life in here and that’s it ⭐️

I completely forgot I haven’t shown our new bedd I completely forgot I haven’t shown our new bedding I added before Christmas. My new rule with creating a fluffy cozy bed with lots of layers is no more duvets 😆

This is mainly because in the last two years I got two dogs who have had toooo many accidents on our previous duvets and the work to take everything apart and wash it nearly did me in lol

I switched out our duvet blankets for the wonderful magical COMFORTERS and guys I’m in love. A comforter is one piece but still looks big and cozy when layered so it’s a win win.
