Meal Plan Monday

BabyHope2013 · April 2016

We used to do this on my other BMB with my first son. Helped plan ahead and keep us making healthy meals. Also was great to get new ideas from one another. Play along if you are interested! I start with Sundays instead of Mondays because I usually grocery shop on Sundays---but start on whatever day works best for you.

Sunday: Salmon, rice and crescent rolls
Monday: Cheesy Broccoli Orzo with smoke sausage
Tuesday: Burgers and homemade fries
Wednesday: Spaghetti and salad
Thursday: Shrimp (fish sticks for DS1) and mac and cheese or rice again
Friday: Pizza

I'm jealous you plan your meals ahead! DH is so boring when it comes to food, we do the same things over and over and over...Anyone care to link recipes if from the interwebz?

Whatever my DH cooks

always a protein and a veggie. Lately, lactation cookies for a treat.

If I didn't plan meals no one would eat in my house lol. With working I have one shot to grocery shop each week. I don't have time to stop on the way home. I try to cook stuff on the weekends and I do a lot of meal prep (cutting up veggies, laying out pans I will need to cook, etc) the night before or early in the morning.

Sunday - lean beef burgers and homemade fries
Monday - roast chicken, potatoes and veggies
Tuesday - macaroni and ground beef
Wednesday - slow cooker Greek seasoned chicken breast, rice and veggie stir fry
Thursday - salt and pepper seasoned pork steaks, sweet potatoes and veggies
Friday - pizza! (Mama's favourite night, no cooking)
Saturday - bbq ribs and some kind of salad, I haven't decided yet

Not the healthiest week but at least we'll be eating dinner so it's a step up from some weeks!

You ladies are impressive! I can barely whip together a pb&j for myself during the day. My babe is a good babe too, loves to lay in his play yard and doesn't cry much, so really...when do you find the time? After the baby goes to bed? I need to get it together!

m6tonner · April 2016

I just pull her swing into the kitchen with me. She sits and plays with her crinkle book, I talk to her and keep her interactive so she doesn't lose her cool about being alone.

Or I'll slowly throw together a casserole throughout the day as I have time, and I'll chuck it in the oven whenever.

My in-laws are here for a few days, and it's incredible how much we get done with 2 extra sets of baby-watching hands!

ctmamaoftwo · April 2016

I usually try to prep while he is napping. Sometimes I put his mammas and pappas chair on the counter with the toy tray on and just pretend I'm in a cooking show telling him everything I am doing. He thinks it's pretty fun!

BarrettJ89 · April 2016
