Welcome to another Menu Planning Monday! Here I try to plan out healthy, EASY meals that will get me in and out of that kitchen as quickly as possible while still keeping our palettes satisfied.<\/p>\n

Last week, a friend of mine, Angela, made a request for this week’s Menu Planning Monday and I was so happy to oblige because the idea was brilliant! Many of us are in the season of Spring sports, after-school activities, and late nights, and having dinners to take on-the-go so that our families are still getting a decent meal in while out and about is just plain nice. SO! This week I have compiled a list of dinners that can be taken to-go to hopefully make those busy nights easier!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Taco Pop Tarts\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

If mine turn out half this good I will call these a huge win! I love how “handheld” these are and I think our kids would get a kick out of eating them.<\/p>\n

Babble<\/p>\n

\"taco-pop-tarts\"<\/p>\n

2,\u00a0DIY Instant Noodle Cups\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I love this idea! You can basically put any dinner in a to-go container, grab a plastic fork and off you go. It would be even nicer not to have dishes to keep track of, so I would even go so far as to find disposable containers for dinners like these…Or not! I suppose I can wash a few dishes…<\/p>\n

Kitchn<\/p>\n

\"noodle<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Oven Baked Meatball Sandwiches<\/a><\/p>\n

Make this recipe even easier by buying pre-cooked meatballs. Wrap in some tin foil and there you go.<\/p>\n

Home Cooking Memories<\/p>\n

\"Easy-Dinner-Idea-Oven-Baked-Meatball-Sandwiches-Recipe\"<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Ground Turkey Freezer Burritos<\/a><\/p>\n

Basically, you can make any burrito combination this way, freeze, and then grab and go.<\/p>\n

\"Ground-Turkey-Freezer-Burritos-on-Tone-and-Tighten.com_\"<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Mini Martha Stewart Meatloaves<\/a><\/p>\n

Love this idea! Mini meals in a cupcake liner. Brilliant!<\/p>\n

Dashing Dish<\/p>\n

\"open-uri20150722-6-1cl8oky\"<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Cream Cheese and Chicken Taquitos<\/a><\/p>\n

Same idea as the burritos; wrap in tin foil and go! You could even dip these in those mini 100 calorie guacamole\u00a0packs. YUM! I would use wheat tortillas and the Greek yogurt cream cheese.<\/p>\n

Lil Luna<\/p>\n

\"creamy-cheese-chicken-taquitos-final-1\"<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Spaghetti and Meatball Bites<\/a><\/p>\n

These might be a tad messy….\u00a0but maybe you can also put these in the cupcake liners, grab a few napkins and call it a day? Again, to make it easier, pre-cooked meatballs! I’d also use veggie\/protein spaghetti to add a few more nutrients.<\/p>\n

Delish<\/p>\n

\"spaghetti<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Keto Pigs in a Blanket<\/a><\/p>\n

I am very intrigued by this one… Or, if not caring about Keto, just wrap in crescent rolls and bake!<\/p>\n

Keto in Pearls<\/p>\n

\"e1a7811a6df2adaab723a1e97fa2a6ac\"<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Mac and Cheese Cupcakes<\/a><\/p>\n

I think my\u00a0kids would be all-in for these… You can make it healthier by using protein\/veggie pasta and wheat bread crumbs<\/p>\n

Thanks for the request, Angela! I hope some of these work for you, and anyone else looking. If anyone ever has a specific request, please ask! I am happy to help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
