Wednesday – BLT’S & Sweet Potato Fries

            Preheat Oven for Fries and get those ready before you start the bacon. Then turn skillet on medium heat add your strips of bacon (3 minutes on each side, you will notice when brown, I like to overcook mine so it’s nice and crunchy). As bacon gets done put on plate topped with paper towels to drain grease. Slice the tomato, clean your lettuce. Once bacon is almost finished, start to toast your bread. Top bread with mayo, tomato, lettuce then add your bacon. Cut in half.

Friday – Its your night off, order take out or have your hubby prepare dinner!!

Saturday – Pizza Muffins & Veggies

            English Muffins

            Pizza Sauce

            Moz Cheese   

            Pepperoni

This is super super easy and fun for the kids. Make sure all muffins are sliced. You will make these just like pizza. So top the muffin with pizza sauce, then cheese and top with pepperonis. Broil in the oven on low for only a few minutes you can watch until the cheese is melted and bread is toasted. My kids loved it. I threw a steamer bag in the mic, then sliced up some watermelon and we had a picnic outside!
