Well I'm a little late to the party this week. It's Friday and I'm just now posting the meal plan for this week. I've been busy, so let's get on with it!
MONDAY: BLTs (I had chicken, red potatoes and green peppers. Mama no likey the bacon)
TUESDAY: Baked Tacos
WEDNESDAY: Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
THURSDAY: Spaghetti
FRIDAY: Burgers & Fries
And after all that anticipation, it's not even an exciting meal plan. A bunch of our favorites all in one week. Easy-peasy, just the way I like it! I promise a much more exciting meal plan next week.
Meal planning was such a success for me last year that I'm continuing it this year. So here's week 1 of the New Year with a new meal plan!
MONDAY: Tortellini & Sausage in Tomato Cream Sauce
This is a one pot meal. Less dishes - sign me up!
TUESDAY: Tacos with chips & salsa
WEDNESDAY: Refrigerator clean out
We've got leftovers to clean out and I've got a late meeting tonight so this will be quick and easy.
THURSDAY: Snickerdoodle Waffles & Fruit
Breakfast for dinner is always a winner and these snickerdoodle waffles sound amazingly delicious.
FRIDAY: Tangy Chicken, Bell Pepper and Red Potato Packets
These packets are meant to go on the grill, but we are going to make them in the oven instead.
What are you eating this week? How do you decide your meals?
Last year I picked a word to live by in 2014 and that word was "live". I enjoyed having one simple goal or rule to follow all year so I've decided to do it again for this year. There's so many good options out there but this year I'm going with ...
You don't know if you don't like something or can't do something unless you try. So this year I'm going to try.
Try being patient when I'm feeling overwhelmed
Try new foods
Try a trip with the family with no destination in mind
Try to stop drinking so much Diet Coke
Try to work out more
Try to be a better mom, wife and friend
I'm not going to accomplish and succeed at everything that I try but that's the point. I may find a new favorite workout or a new way to get my kids to clean up that doesn't involve yelling. I may find that I fail at giving up Diet Coke, but at least I tried and in the end that probably means I'll end up drinking less Diet Coke and more water which is always a good thing.
So what will you try this year?
