I love to cook but I definitely have days where we go off what we planned. Today is actually one of those days.

I find most of my recipes on Pinterest and Skinnytaste, make our menu based on the weekly circulars and go food shopping on Sundays. I love chicken so I usually buy a few packages of boneless chicken breasts, roast them and separate them to use throughout the week which is a big time saver. I try to save the meals with the most prep work for nights when I don't work late so I'm not too tired.

Hope that helps! Chat Icon

I try to stick to the planned menu and usually do, but I also switch meals often, for instance, Monday's meal becomes Tuesdays and Tuesdays meal becomes Monday. But that is also why I plan 1-2 days with no plan or "leftovers" so that if things DO change, no food goes to waste. Kind of a buffer for the last minute things that come up.

This week I dont have a set plan. I'm tired!

I know I'm making taco salad with ground turkey and eggplant lasagna.

The rest will be leftovers that I froze like veggie chili. I have chicken thighs that I can defrost and marinate for grilling and will eat with rice pilaf, sautéed string beans, bag of salad.

Re: Menu Thread - Week of 8/3/14

I'm just going to gain about ten pounds this week...had a surprise party for DH this weekend and we have loads of leftovers.

Sun - had a slice of veggie hero (eggplant, artichoke, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers) and salad.

Mon - leftover pasta (penne with garlic and oil, zucchini and sun dried tomatoes) and salad.

Tue - probably the same as Mon.

Wed - soup and salad, I guess?

Thu - going out with the ILs for Thai, I think.

Fri - My birthday! Going to Parkside. YUM.

Sat - Going to a wedding!

Next week...water and carrot sticks, haha.
