Re: Mealplan?

  • For today?  I had a protein bar for breakfast, oatmeal for a snack, and a snack bar this afternoon.  DH made a chicken casserole for dinner.... I'm not even on a diet, this is what happens when I leave my lunch in the fridge at home :(.... I missed my pork chops at lunch time!

    The kids had pancakes for breakfast, I'm not sure what they had for lunch, and had chicken casserole for dinner.

  • mine is sadly somewhat like yours with pizza, mac & cheese and usually some sort of grilled or roasted meat & veggies thrown in.
  • Recently I got 'back on the wagon' with meal planning.  with baby #2 and the cost of daycare looming, something needed to be done.  Not to mention just the unhealthiness of eating out.  we were all starting to feel it.  

    I try to do one casserole type dish, and one - two slow cooker recipes.  With the leftovers, we take these for lunch. on the other two nights, what i do is one for leftovers and one with a super easy dinner - either hot dogs, sandwiches, cereal, breakfast, etc.  We eat out one night on the weekend and cook the rest of the time.  we also get salad stuff and fresh fruit and veggies to put on the sides of dishes.  DD doesn't eat the food we eat so often she will have some whole wheat pasta, which she takes the leftovers to school or a sunbutter or PB & J sandwich.

    This week's meal plan:

    Sunday; Lasagna with meat sauce, salad

    Monday: slowcooker Salsa lime chicken tacos (light), brown rice

    Tuesday: slow cooker spicy beef tips over brown rice

    Wednesday: Leftovers

    Thursday:  Mac & Cheese

    Friday: Dinner Out

    Saturday: Function

    Sunday: Corned beef & Cabbage 

  • Since I'm 6 weeks pg, my meal planning has gone to cr@p and we're eating too much take out. By the way French fries w feta cheese are incredible.

    my other meals planned for this week are tacos, cheese raviolis with grilled portabellas and zucchini, salmon w pesto roasted potatoes, carrots and asparagus.

  • We don't assign meals a specific day, but we always come up with 5 things on Sunday, make sure we have all the ingredients, and then decide when we get home each night, what to make based on how much time we have.  Although we typically have pizza on Friday. This week:

    Chili, Turkey and Swiss croissant roll-ups, Bowtie pasta with Turkey and vodka sauce,  salsa chicken, pizza
