Well, a little late on the meal plan for the week! We were out of town from Friday-Monday so I focused in on the laundry piles between last night and today :) After my girls slept between 6-8 hours each night (which means I slept way less), imagine my delight to come home to a freezer full of easy food after last weeks couple of big cooking days. Monday we did BBQ Chicken Calzones and Tuesday (tonight) we did Quesadillas.
If you are new to meal planning, let me encourage you to go for it-- What a HUGE money/time saver! Pick a day (I like Monday) and take 15 or 20 minutes to start with your pantry and create meals out of what you have. Create your grocery list on what you still need and make one trip to the store with your coupons in hand!
Here is the remainder of the week for us:
Wednesday- Pasta and Turkey Meatballs, steamed spinach
Thursday- Beef Stew, homemade bread
Friday- Meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, salad
What are you cooking up this week?
YAY for your pre-made meals after being gone. The laundry nightmare after a trip is enough to deal with and not having to cook when you are tired is one of the best gifts you can give yourself!! Julie
