Re: Meal Plan Monday's!

  • UGH!!! I so need to do this! Friday before last I hurt my foot at work...badly...and wasn't able to meal plan or grocery shop so of course DH bought all kinds of junk food and frozen stuff and we're like 50% overbudget. Plus i've been super nauseated. Will be shopping again this Friday and making a meal plan.

  • It is super easy and really takes no time at all!  I usually will stop at the library and look through the new cookbooks for new meal ideas.  Just take ten minutes one night before bed and make a list :)
  • Monday and Tuesday we're having kale tacos, and beans on the side. 

    Wednesday and Thursday is buffalo potatoes and chicken. 

    This was going to be the week I also started to cook one weekend night, but didn't plan or buy anything yet. So maybe next week that'll start lol.
  • Last week I researched make ahead and freeze casseroles and modifies the recipe for each so picky DH would eat it. I made 4 different ones of Friday and 3 on Saturday. Each one made 2 8x8 pans so I have 13 meals in the freezer (we ate one friday). Plus, each pan is enough for dinner and at least 1 day of lunches for DH and I. Score! 

    Monday: ham hash brown veggie casserole.
    Tuesday: leftovers/fend for yourself

    Rest of week: vacation for a relatives wedding.

  • I made chimichangas tonight. I usually cook on the fly, last minute without very little planning. Kind of like my own master chef mystery box.  Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.  I really wish I was better at meal planning.
  • Steak Fajitas
    Homemade Stromboli and salad (I try to do meat free at least once per week)
    Grilled lemon chicken with roasted potatoes and vegetables
    Caprese pasta (linguini with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil)
    Snow crab legs

    Tonight was supposed to be chicken.  Couldn't do it.  Changed the plan at about 4 pm. All I want is water. I know there's worse things... 

    I've been snacking hella hard though.  My go-to right now are steel rolled oats with strawberries and cottage cheese with kiwi.  Also digging apples with peanut butter.

  • I really want to get on the ball and do this! All your meals sound mouth watering! My DH and I were thinking about trying some whole 30 recipes and meal prepping on Sunday's. 
      
    Tuesday - salmon with spinach and mashed potateos
     Wednesday  - spinach and feta chicken sausage with edamame salad.
