  T - steak caprese pasta salad

  W - slow cooker salisbury steak
  Th - sausage and pasta

  I've also been slacking, but I'm trying harder this week:

  Sunday (start of week so I can prep for the rest) - Roast chicken with roasted vegetables. Put bones in crockpot for stock.

  Monday - Soup with stock - split pea

  Tuesday - Chicken and gravy with leftover chicken

  Wednesday - leftover soup and grilled cheese

  Thursday - Butternut squash mac and cheese

  Sun- Tacos and sauteed zuchhini with garlic
  Mon - Santa Fe Turkey Chili (crockpot) with salad
  Tues - leftover taco - probably a taco salad
  Wed - Leftover Chili
  Thurs - Some sort of baked chicken and potatoes, baby carrots
  Fri-?
  Sat-?
  
  Weekends are my downfall.  Probably spaghetti one night and take out another.  Or more leftover chili if there is any.

  We are in our fourth week of the same plan, so I need inspiration or something, too...but the ruts do happen, and I try to just roll with them. I prefer being in a rut to being unprepared, and find that being in a rut forces me to get more creative just so we eat something different. So I would say pick five things that are really easy and make them this week. Do the same ones next week. After you build the routine that way, and are a little sick of the same things two weeks in a row, branch out a little bit. Build up a list of 20-40 really great meals that you can make easily, then rotate them through. I cannot even be bothered to look in my favorites list right now to vary things up - but I will soonish.

  I have been seriously slacking in meal planning, but I was so inspired by the latest Southern Living- turn one meal into 3! I never eat red meat 3 times in a week, so it's kind of a splurge.
  
  Sunday- zesty pot roast w Parmesan mashed potatoes and roast carrots
  Monday- Shepherds pie pot pies ( w leftover pot roast and mashed potatoes)
  Tuesday- Beef noodle soup (more leftover pot roast)
  Wednesday- out w mom's group for dinner. Leftovers for everyone else
  Thursday - black bean burgers
  Friday- maybe take out, leaving early to go out of town Saturday

  IVF, acupuncture, meditation and a miracle.

  I'm such a slacker! You all inspire me.  Do you prepare all of your meals on Sunday before the week starts? That's my problem.  I get home around 8pm.  I try and prepare on Sunday but it's so hard.  But i have to start doing this, because we are spending way too much on ordering in.

  I know it's Tuesday, but I actually had somewhat of a meal plan this week, which is exciting for me, because that's usually not the case:

  M - Mac & cheese

  T - Tacos

  W - White chicken chili (although it's more like chicken & veggie soup with beans)

  Th - Leftovers

  F - Pizza

  @NYMOM101511 - It is hard to get started!  Definitely takes discipline, which I don't often have.    I usually don't plan meals, but this week I made a few things on Sunday so I didn't have to get home from work and scramble to get something figured out for dinner.  Sunday afternoon I browned 1.5 pounds of ground beef, then divided that in two and used one half for Sunday's dinner and the other half I made into taco meat.  I also made white bean chicken chili that afternoon.  (I used a roasted chicken from the grocery store to save time, and saved half the meat and put it in the freezer for another batch of soup in a couple weeks.)  I probably spent at least 1.5 hours in the kitchen on Sunday preparing food.  We often have pancakes and eggs for dinner, so I will often combine the dry ingredients for the pancakes on Sunday or a week night and then that saves 5-10 minutes prep time the night we have it for dinner.
