Trying to not go as crazy with meals because we end up having leftovers. So I have taken that into account with my meal plan this week and two days are left open so we don't have any food that goes to waste.
Monday:
Slow Cooker Dump and Go Easy Chicken
Tuesday:
something easy—some sort of pasta dish perhaps? or grilled cheese?
Wednesday:
leftovers???
Thursday:
Three Cheese Beef Pasta Shells with garlic bread
(made with ground turkey)
Friday:
leftovers???

the beef/cheese shell meal looks like something even Erin would like. I LOVE stuffed shells.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look into trying in next week. :o)
I see you discovered the "planning 5 different meals is way too much food" secret. Plus it can be overwhelming to cook 5-7 meals each week without a break. Planning 3 meals a for the weekdays seems to work well for us with the option of a 4th meal.
ReplyDeleteAnd those stuffed shells do look yummy!
yeah, it was just too hard to make 5 meals a week and it was rather unrealistic as well. We're only 2 people... well 2 1/2, so we always have leftovers. It just made more sense to make 3 meals. Plus we will go over to Nick's parents house for dinner randomly too so this takes that into account as well.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you guys know how the shells are. I'm excited to try them.
Yeah when I plan 5-7 meals it lasts us 2 weeks
