what's for dinner + burrito bowls

another week of meal planning.. done! Nothing makes me happier than planning out dinners, so I don't have to rush around and scramble every night thinking of what to make....just makes my life a little bit easier! My absolute favorite this week that I'll be making is the Southwestern Pizza. It's been one of my favorite "pizzas" of all time... such a fun change instead of a normal pizza dish! 

I hope everyone had a fun weekend!! We spent Friday going to the peds for checkups for the 3 boys. We got lunch after & took our first trip to Target since quarantine started! We came home, ordered take out, & watched movies with the kids. Perfect Friday night! Saturday we woke up & went to visit my nana K. The boys were so excited to see her & she was just as excited to see them. We spent the rest of the afternoon at my parents swimming & I brought leftover chicken bbq for dinner. Sunday was also spent at the pool! We actually stayed there most of the day & had a delicious dinner made by my mom. It was a great weekend altogether! I hope you all have a great week!!
