Bryan and I have been talking for a while now about how we want to take time out every Sunday to plan our meals for the week. He is working crazy hours and we are always on the go so we wanted to start planning ahead. On nights that we have events going on, we wanted to plan for easy dinners. On nights that we are home, I make the more complicated dinners.
Here is whatwe I came up with for this week:
Monday: 20 Minute Skillet Lasagna
Tuesday: Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken Legs and Mashed Potatoes
Wednesday: Chicken Wraps
Thursday: Meatball Sandwhices
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Crockpot Italian Chicken
The Skillet Lasagna was ridiculously awesome. I only used the paremsan crumb topping part of the parmesan chicken recipe and that was equally as awesome. I am really looking forward to the italian chicken that I have planned for Saturday.
I want to try to plan our meals every Sunday and then go shopping for whatever I need right away. I also want to try at least one new recipe each week. This week I have three worked in! I'm excited about this new system because I really think it will help us stay on track. We eat out way too much. Giving myself a plan like this helps me to look forward to specific meals and might deter me from wanting to order in!
If I can, each week I will post the meal plan and what I'm most looking forward to. Then at the end of the week, or at the beginning of the next week's blog, I will post how it worked out, what reciepes we liked or didn't like, if we skipped any, etc. I may try to incorporate the cost of each meal at some point as well.
We have plans this evening so I'm making easy chicken wraps: chicken, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce for me; chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese for my husband. Wraps are a lot like tacos; you make the meat and add the toppings later!
What are your dinner plans for the week? Have any reciepes to share?
