This Week's Meal Plan

It has been quite some time since I created a meal plan. To be honest, I am just now getting my life back in order from the holidays. I believe I am finally ready for a new year. Too bad January 1st didn't wait until I was ready!

Rather than doing a two week meal plan, I am going to try a weekly plan. Maybe I will be more likely to stick with it if I tackle a shorter amount of time, even though it does make more sense to do a two -week plan based on my shopping schedule. Anyway, when I did the two-week plan, we didn't end up needing about half the meals because we had plenty of leftovers, so maybe this plan WILL last two weeks...Life is all about experimentation, right?

Breakfasts will include granola, yogurt, shredded wheat cereal, hot wheat cereal, boiled eggs, toast

Lunches will include leftovers, sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, soup, lettuce salads

Here is the dinner schedule:

Monday- Roasted whole chicken in the crock pot, potatoes, and carrots

Tuesday- Spinach lasagna roll ups and salad

Wednesday- Chicken salad sandwiches (made with leftover shredded chicken from Monday)

Thursday- Leftovers

Friday- Taco Salad, peach smoothies

Saturday- Dinner out with the church family

Sunday- Lentil barley stew, blueberry muffins

Notice that I have planned for two meatless meals and only one red meat meal. Also, I am planning dessert for only two meals.

April, that...is...amazing. I feel like I would need a whole week with nothing else to do to make it, though!
