Last night, I spent a great bit of time in the kitchen while I was listening to the Colts game on the radio {we no longer have tv except for Netflix streamed}. I got a lot of prep work completed for this week including planning our meals {and Tuesday’s dinner is in the freezer, too WOOT}. It feels good to have a handle on the week’s food. I’m sure it will keep everyone’s bellies full and my craziness under control.
If you want to see some of the recipes that I’m crushing on right now, check out my Pinterest Recipes & Food Ideas board. A few of the dishes from this week’s meal plan come directly from there. I <3 Pinterest!

This is the sheet that I use every week to plan my meals. It’s nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I have recently been playing with the Food on The Table App, too.
