One of my least favorite thing of being a stay at home mom is coming up with what to feed my family each day. Sometimes cooking is simply a chore that's a drag! Combine that with the fact that my most wonderful husband is a bit of a picky eater, my 2yr old doesn't like the texture of meat, and my 11mo old is just now figuring out finger foods, the challenge is increased.
I have always known that planning out meals in advance is very helpful and will help relieve some of that stress. However, actually doing it is another thing all together! So, I thought that if I planned to post a meal plan to my blog each week I might be more motivated to do it. But rather that assigning a meal to each night of the week, I will pick 4 or 5 meals and just pick from the list each day.
So here is this week's meal plan:
BREAKFAST
Eggs and toast
Salsa and Sausage Quiche
Overnight Baked Oatmeal
Cinnamon Rolls Bohlender Style (will post the recipe soon)
LUNCH
PB&J or Honey
Quiche Leftovers
Grilled Chicken Salad
Cheesy Pesto Pasta Salad
DINNER
Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
Roast on the grill with red potatoes and veggie
Leftovers
Chicken Parmesan Homemade Pizza
Crockpot meal of some sort that I haven't decided on yet.
ITEMS TO PREP FOR MEALS
Pizza Sauce
Pizza Dough (still searching for the best recipe)
Spaghetti or Alfredo sauce for the Chicken Parmesan
What's on your menu this week? What are some of your favorite recipes?
Yum! We are having Pork Carnitas, Chicken Tika Masala, Roasted Chicken Legs, Beanless Chili, left overs and a stuffed full fridge of vegetables cooked every which way. :-)
