Weekly Meal Menus


Hey everyone!
Yep, that me...Sweatshirt and easy bun.
It's my everyday look these days.

So, I'm committed to do better on posting.
___________________
I'm going to post one last time about meal planning,
and show you my meals for the next 2 weeks.

Making a weekly meal menu is really important if you want to 
feed your crew good meals and not feel stressed each day on 
"what's for dinner?"

When I don't get around to making mine is when I have 
to pull from my 15 min dinners and 
if I ever get around to creating tabs I'll make a 
super quick dinner tab.

Here is the next two weeks of meal planning for my crew.
I though it might inspire you to make your own list.

Monday: 
Meatballs and rice
There are the yummiest crockpot meatballs.  

Tuesday: 
"Healthy" Chicken Enchilada's with Spanish rice
Option: topped with my a family favorite that isn't "as" healthy...
Homemede Creamy JalapeƱo ranch
FYI: I made the rice with the left overs from Monday:)

Wednesday:
Lasagna for picky eaters, garlic bread, side salad 
No chunky tomatoes or lumpy cheese sauce...
just yummy to their tummies.

Thursday:
Chicken Gyros with ?? veggies:)
Homemade greek yogurt sauce

Friday:
PIZZA 
I'll be out of town so I wanted to make it easy for the crew

Saturday:
LEFTOVERS or out to eat
I'm getting in late and will not be wanting to cook. 
Plus, we will have plenty of leftovers to choose from.

Sunday:
Kona Chicken with strawberry spinach salad and brown rice
One of my hubby's favorite!

Monday:
Brauts and oven baked MacN'Cheese (grams style)
I like to have an easy option on Mondays.  
I picked up 2 different brauts, chicken/spinach and beer brauts.

Tuesday:
Chicken Fajita's

Wednesday:
Garlic-Lemon Double Stuffed Chicken
Alright, I'm not gonna lie.  
The only healthy part of this dish is the chicken and the garlic.
 It is filled with a delicious cream cheese filling and topped
with more cheddar cheese. 
 BUT...it's yummy!

Thursday:
Turkey burger sliders and fries
I will be trying my hand at home made sweet potato fries.
I might be trying to recover from the fatty Wednesday dinner, lol.

Friday:
Chicken Fried Rice
I love all-in-one dinners:)

By now I will be in need of another big HEB run but I'm sure I
will have needed to run there for more of "something".
Because I'll be out of town the last few days of the second week,
**College unofficial visits for my volleyball girl**,
I will try my best to prepare these ahead of time enough for 
anyone to throw on the grill or in the oven.
I also bought enough pizzas to cover a couple days, lol.

Hopefully I'll take pictures and post recipes here soon for these meals.
Looks like I'm 2 days behind since it's already Wednesday:)


ONE MORE THING...
Meal planning tip:
When you sit down to plan out your meals, be sure to have 
your calendar, recipe book, and your trusty phone.
Why a calendar? 
Plan your meals around your schedule. 
If you don't then you probably won't be able to stick to your menu.
Why recipe book? 
To look up favorite meals and get ingredients needed.
Why Phone? 
To look up at least one or two new recipes to try...or 
to just inspire you to create you own.

Time saver tip:
BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY LIST WHILE CREATING YOUR MENU.

Happy Planning!
