This past week was somewhat of a vacation for us as the girls were on Spring Break from their extracurricular activities. We went on two picnics, spent some serious Q-T at three different playgrounds, rambled at the library, and ate at Chick-fil-A for lunch one day. Plus, the older girls spent Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with their grandparents livin' it up. It's been fun, spontaneous, and pretty care-free, but I'm ready for a little more structure and we're out of clean towels.
So, I'm back to the drawing board and meal planning for the week.
Do you meal plan? And I don't mean deciding that morning what you're going to fix for supper. I mean planning meals days in advance to eliminate the agonizing question:
"What's for dinner tonight?!"
Having a meal plan, for me, is one less thing to think about. I simply look at the menu posted on our wall and get to work. For more info, check out this meal planning post.
So, here's what's on our menu this week:
Sunday
Chocolate-chip pancakes & sausage
Leftovers
Barbecue pulled pork, coleslaw, corn-on-the-cob, & easy baked beans
Monday
Oatmeal with frozen blueberries
Vegetable-chicken soup (freezer) & grilled cheese sandwiches
Grilled ground beef gyros on homemade Naan
Tuesday
Yogurt, homemade granola, & fruit
Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, orange slices, & veggie sticks
Pork carnitas with black beans & salad
Wednesday
Blueberry muffins, scrambled eggs, & fruit
Lunch out
Thursday
Oatmeal with frozen blueberries
Turkey & cheese roll-ups with pretzels, carrot sticks, & grapes
Glazed salmon with broccoli rice
