Meal Plan Monday 4/11

We haven't done one of these threads in awhile and I selfishly need ideas before I head to the grocery store. So what's for dinner this week?

Re: Meal Plan Monday 4/11

  • Burritos. It's hard for me to plan ahead anymore. Because what sounds good or bad on shopping day sounds the opposite during the week. Tonight is burritos though because I know I can probably handle that.

  • @BmcD2016 That's how I feel exactly. Tonight I'm finally eating what I planned to make last Thursday because it sounds good again. I'm stubborn though, so I'm attempting a meal plan for the week and we'll see how well it holds up.

    Tonight: Pasta with sausage and peas one skillet dinner (makes lots and lots of leftovers)
    Tuesday: Leftovers
    Wednesday: Leftovers
    Thursday: Chicken enchiladas
    Friday: Work dinner event
    Saturday: Grill out (it's supposed to be beautiful!)
    Sunday: Breakfast for dinner - waffles!

    Burritos forever. 
  • Shameless plug for a friend - if you want a website that makes meal planning/grocery list making easy, check out That Clean Life. She adds new meals about every other week, and there's monthly challengesand a Facebook group for support. It does cost a money, but I find it totally worth it as DH and I use her recipes on a regular basis!

    There's also a blog, including an article on first tri nausea (from another friend who works for the company and is around 20w with her little girl), and you can try some of the recipes out for free if you're interested!

  • Tonight: chickpea and potato curry
    Tuesday: roast pork tenderloin with salad and brown rice
    Wednesday: my hubby is taking me out for my birthday so ???
    Thursday: sweet chili tofu (from budgetbytes.com which is my favorite weeknight recipe site)
    Friday: gnocchi and sauce

    I really can't recommend Budget Bytes enough. They're not super glamorous recipes, but they come out really good, are usually pretty healthy and have affordable ingredients, and generally take about a half hour to prepare. I just don't have the energy for half the recipes on most food blogs anymore!
  • I can't meal plan right now. I eat like a kid. It's terrible. But tonight I am making venison stir fry and it actually seems like I'll be able to eat it.

  • Tonight we had Thai Peanut Chicken Noodle Soup
    Not sure on days, but I bought for Chicken Mole Crockpot and Singapore Noodles
    That leaves at least one day for me to either feel sick or have a strong craving!  :p

  • Love this idea! 
    Monday: veggie chili with BREAD. 
    Tuesday: tuna pea salad with whole wheat noodles and Greek yogurt instead of mayo 
    Wednesday: hubby is gone so I'll probably have Mac and cheese or cereal :)
    Thursday: sweet potato and black bean taquitos 
    Friday: mozerella, tomato basil, tortellini "salad"
    Saturday-Sunday I don't plan for weekends who knows what will be sounding good at that point!

  • We don't really meal plan. My H does the cooking. But we've been really into shredded fajita chicken, corn and beans in a baked pepper with cheese on top and some guac for me and sour cream for him! It's delish, filling and you don't feel gross after you eat it! And leftovers are great for work!
  • @lin0442 Happy almost birthday!!

    We're doing veggie quesadillas this week. I still can't go in the kitchen for more than four minutes without needing to throw up, so H has been on cooking duty for the last couple weeks. I don't have the stomach for anything terribly complex or elaborate, and he already does enough work as it is trying to take care of us both, so we're just keeping it simple!
