It’s an exciting week filled with Halloween parties and in our household, even a Halloween birthday. The house is decorated, the costumes are waiting, the classroom parties organized, and I am gearing up for a busy week.
Table365 Feeding your family TRICKS to make sure your week is filled with TREATS:
Make a meal plan for the week. On busy weeks, it is especially important to plan ahead and have the groceries ready for the week of meals (and snacks, and Halloween parties). Prep easy and healthy meals, knowing that this week will have a lot of sugary treats.

- Monday: Teriyaki chicken thighs, brown rice, sautéed kale
- Tuesday: Spaghetti, green salad
- Wednesday: Tostadas with pico de gallo
- Thursday: Pulled pork and polenta, sautéed kale
- Friday: Chicken noodle soup, cheddar cheese, apple slices
