What’s Cookin’? Wednesday {Week 1}

My husband was gone for a work conference all of last week, so the kids and I were home alone.  I didn’t really meal plan and just made things out of the pantry that I thought the kids would enjoy.  I usually don’t cook much when Josh is gone, because, well let’s be honest, there isn’t much point in cooking a meal when your kids are just going to pick at it anyway.

Here are the three meals I made, and then we had two nights of leftovers.  Saturday was our oldest’s 5th birthday, so we had a small get-together with friends and family and grilled hot dogs and brats.  I tried my hand at homemade baked beans, as well!

Shrimp & Broccoli Risotto

Parm-Crusted Tilapia with Quinoa Mix and Carrots

Spaghetti with Homemade Meatballs and Sauce

Now for the really fun portion of What’s Cookin’? Wednesday…the link party!  That’s right folks, we’re going to start a weekly kitchen-themed link party right here at Simplify Mommyhood!
