Meal plans

I'm back to my meal plans. I did this a long time ago, and stuck to it for about a month. I really, really hope to stick to it longer this time! I'm on week two. The first week went very well. I wrote down my meal plan for the week on Sunday night and on Monday, I went grocery shopping for the entire week. My biggest complaint for cooking is never knowing what to make. It comes around to 4:30 and I'm always standing in the kitchen, looking through the cupboards, wondering what I should make. I really don't mind cooking; it's seriously figuring out what we're having. So this has helped with that.

 

Here's my meal plans for the first two weeks. Maybe if I blog about it, I'll keep up with it!

 

Week one:

Mon - bbq with friends

Tues - chicken pot pie

Wed - breakfast: eggs, sausage, and bagels

Thurs - Pot Roast, potatoes, green beans

Fri - chicken stir fry

Sat - spaghetti

Sun - leftovers

 

Week two (this was my pinterest recipes week!):

Mon - lasagna

Tues - meat loaf minis, mashed potatoes, salad

Wed - cilantro pesto shrimp and garlic cilantro fries

Thurs - crockpot bbq chicken, rice, and green beans

Fri - crepes, fresh fruit, sausage

Sat - beef burritos and Mexican rice

Sun - leftovers

 

I have stuck to this since last Monday, which means I have cooked that many days in a row! It's been SO nice!

 

This is the book I keep in my purse. It was $1 at Michael's.

 

And this is what I write in it. My meal plan and my grocery list.
