Since I didn’t share a main dish with you today, I thought I might go ahead and share our meal plan for the week. It’s not something I do often on here. I feel like I might bore you! But today, I thought it might be fun for you to see a week in the life. I think that I’ve mentioned before that I meal plan for 1-2 weeks ahead of time just to evaluate what we already have before I go grocery shopping. I am also flexible with what we have. If I need to switch items around or even entire meals, I have no problems doing so. And lastly, I also like to stock pile and pre-cook as much as possible. When I can, I double a recipe and freeze half or I fix individual components (pizza dough, black beans, pasta) ahead of time and freeze them. Unfortunately, we have a fairly small (usually packed) freezer so I can’t get too far down the road (oh how wonderful that would be!) but it’s enough to keep me from feeling overwhelmed during the dinner hour.
I’ve rattled enough, here ya go:
Monday: Black Bean Turkey Burgers on Whole Wheat Toast
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Green Beans
Tuesday: Apple Chicken
Broccoli
Rice
Mashed Sweet Potatoes (they had a great bag of them @ Aldi, what can I say?)
Wednesday: Chicken Ringos (I get these @ Walmart for $3.97; they’re better than most nutritionally)
Spaghetti
Spinach Salad
Thursday: Pancakes (working on a recipe for a mix this week to keep in the cabinets)
Eggs
Bacon
Friday: Salmon Sandwiches on Whole Wheat Toast with Avocado Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato
Fiesta Fruit
BBQ Kettle Chips
Fresh Veggies
Saturday: Chicken Parmigiana
Penne Pasta
Spinach Salad
Oatmeal Whole Wheat Quick Bread
*enough for lunch and dinner
Sunday: Salsa Soup (with Chicken, Black Beans, Brown Rice)
Queseo
Blue Corn Chips
Avocado
*enough for lunch and dinner
