Weekly Meal Plan

Here are my loose guidelines for weekly meal planning:

1. sandwich night (hamburgers or some yummy new sandwich recipe I'd like to try);
2. Texmex (we LOVE Texmex and it's usually easy to prepare);
3. grilling out during warm weather or soup during cold weather;
4. and trying a new recipe

My friend, Jaime, does one night where she can double and freeze a recipe. I really like this idea, especially with a new baby on the way. I think I will try and incorporate this into my weekly meal planning.

Here is what I have planned for this week. Now, I often veer from the list because of time or something unexpected i.e. Scott working late so Ford and I just have something simple.

1. Orange-Glazed Salmon Filets, green beans with shallots and Annie's mac n cheese (can you tell I have a three year old)
2. Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa and rice (Texmex)
3. Breakfast - I haven't decided exactly what's on the menu yet. Whatever is handy.
4. Chicken and artichoke packets with Tuscan potato salad (this is sandwich night)
5. Ford's school festival catered by SATCO - can't wait!
6. Leftover chicken packets (?)
7. Rainforest Cafe to celebrate my niece's birthday

I'm going to try and inventory the freezer and pantry this weekend to make my meal plan for next week. Hopefully, I will only need a few things from the grocery store!
