Meal Plan Monday
OK.... lets see if we can pick the board up. At least for a day haha...
I am a huge meal planner. I dont shop until my meal plan is made but I am always looking for ideas because I always seem to get into a funk and do the same things over and over again... So maybe we should do this on a regular basis..??
Anyways...
Tonight-Breakfast (eggs, sausage, strawberries and blueberries, OJ and toast)
Tomorrow-Loaded Baked Potato Soup (in the crock pot) with grill cheese (was supposed to do this last week.. oops)
Wednesday-Chili and Cornbread
Thursday-BBQ Crusted Chicken Breast with rice pilaf and broccoli
Friday- Mesquite BBQ Chicken over a bed of Salad
Saturday-Pizza (homemade) with Salad....

Directions:

Life with a baby has turned us into lazy cooks! We do a lot of frozen stuff these days because C gets super fussy around 4-5 pm and one of us has to hold him until bedtime.
i don't really plan for certain days, i just get stuff to cover most nights for the week. we have lunch here, not dinner since don works nights. well, i mean we have dinner but i don't make anything exciting.
today we had chicken meatball subs and fries. for the rest of the week i have pulled buffalo chicken in the cp and roasted ranch potatoes, sourdough turkey and cheese melts with fries, lasagna with garlic bread, turkey stroganoff, and pork chops and mashed potatoes. i used to cook a lot more exciting things but now with the newbie i have become kind of lazy
I'm better about planning when DH is home with me to cook. we usually do every other day. he'll cook then I'll cook. so we both pick our days. currently he's working nights and with just me and the baby i have zero time and paitence to cook.
i may do stroganof in the crock pot tomorrow though
