Meal Plan Monday

Here it is, Monday again. Last week went just ok. I didn't make the muffins I was going to for my breakfast. We did well for the beginning of the week on our dinner plans, but come Thursday things changed. I decided I didn't want to cook on Thursday and so we went out for Chinese food. Friday we ended up going out with my in-laws for C's birthday dinner. Sunday's plans also changed because I didn't pick up the things I needed to make pot roast so we decided to make a pot of chili.

This week's plans are only going to include dinners because I will probably eat leftovers or whatever I can find for lunches this week. I am trying not to go on a big grocery run because we are going camping this weekend.  Due to our trip I will resume meal plans on Tuesday.

Meal Plan 9.19 - 9.26

Monday
Dinner: BLTs and chips or potato salad

Tuesday
Dinner: In-n-Out Burger (requested by C)

Wednesday
Dinner: Chicken Pot Pie Pasta (I love this dish.)

Thursday
Dinner: Potstickers or something easy

Friday (Camping)
Dinner: Chili

Saturday (Camping)
Dinner: Steak and Potatoes

Sunday (Camping)
Dinner: Hot Dogs and Baked Beans (we do this every time we go camping)

And of course we will be doing s'mores. We picked up fancy marshmallows and grahams from whole foods, we will see how they are.

Meal Plan Monday

It is that time of the week again. I can't believe it is Monday again, the weeks just seem to be flying by lately. We did pretty good at sticking to our meal plan last week.

I tried two new recipes last week, Sloppy Joes and Thai Basil Chicken. They were both America's Test Kitchen recipes and I usually have good luck with their recipes. The Sloppy Joes were so good. C was very excited when he got home and realized I wasn't making Manwich ones, but homemade ones. The Thai Basil Chicken was good but I don't think I will use fish sauce in it again, it came out a little fishy. I might just substitute chicken stock next time.

Meal Plan "Monday" (err... Tuesday)

Alright, so I know I am late with my meal plan this week. You guys will have to give me a free pass this week because of the holiday weekend. I tend to create my meal plans Monday mornings and having the day off threw me off a bit.

Last week was kind of a mess and I think I only made 2 of my planned meals out of the whole week. Monday was fine, we stuck to the plan. I got a screw in my tire Tuesday and did some running around trying to get it fixed only to find out it couldn't be fixed and I needed a new one. (I did stick to the plan Tuesday night though.) Wednesday I did more running around trying to find somewhere that had the tire I needed (so we ended up going out). Thursday we had a nice meal out for my mother-in-law's birthday (this was part of the plan). Friday's plan went out the window also because a friend of mine got tickets to the SF Giants game and so we went there.

Let's hope this week is better than last. You will see some repeats on here this week because I am planning on making some of the things we didn't last week.
