Make a different meal every day for dinner for a week

One of my goals for my 101 list was to "Make a different meal every day for dinner for a week."

For those who don't know, I'm not much of a cook. I love food, but I tend to not have the time (or make the time) to make anything. I tend to make a big meal one night, eat it for a week, and then repeat the process with another recipe. Or I do really simple (and not super nutritious) stuff like cereal or sandwiches. So this was a challenge for me. But I figured I may as well do it while I still have time. Because once I get a job, it would be a lot more challenging.

What I made:

May 7—Slow Cooker Salsa Rice Bake (I substituted hamburger for Italian sausage)
May 8—Creamy Ranch Chicken
May 9—Creamy Black Bean Salsa Chicken
May 10—Slow Cooker BBQ Ranch Chicken
May 11—Oven baked chicken (family recipe- coat chicken in mixture of crushed Corn Flakes and seasonings and then bake it)
May 12—Pasta with Alfredo Sauce and Italian sausage
May 13—Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas (I did make this one in the oven-- 25 minutes at 350)

So... yeah. I did it. I did use my crockpot for a lot of it, but I see no shame in that. And I was able to freeze some of the leftovers so that I can pull them out on my weekends between EFY and still have something to eat. Because I know I'll have no energy to shop or cook.

  1. Crockpots are total life savers - there's totally no shame in using yours all the time.
