I’m still recovering from the Patriots loss last night…boo! It was a great season but hard to see it end like that. We had a relaxing night at home watching the game, eating junk food and chili for dinner. It was so nice that I had leftovers of chili in the freezer from a couple of weeks ago. Chili always seems to taste better reheated anyway. I’m trying to keep meals simple for the week, as I plan to do a lot of baking for Xander’s birthday party throughout the week. As I was going through my recipes on Friday night I got the idea to use Pinterest to meal plan, so I created a board on my account here. When I come across a recipe that I want to make for the upcoming week I can pin it to my board. Then when it comes time to meal plan on Saturday or Sunday all my links are in one place. I still plan to use Kitchen Monki to keep track of my favorite recipes and share them on the blog. I just think the addition of Pinterest will help me stay more organized throughout the week. This week I didn’t transfer anything into the blog on Kitchen Monki, because I meal planned on the way to the grocery store on Saturday. Sometimes I’m just too lazy to do that additional step after planning and shopping.
Monday: Mac and Cheddar Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli (a family favorite!)
Tuesday: Crock Pot Salsa Chicken over rice with Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms
Wednesday: Healthier Hamburger Helper with buttery brown sugar carrots
Thursday: Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese Spinach Muffins (new recipe I found on Pinterest)
Friday: Leftovers for the boys but I’m trying Piping Hot Peanut Butter Soup Peanut butter in soup sounds bizzare but this looks really good. I will report back next week!
If you need some more ideas come follow me on Pinterest or check out Meal Planning Monday with Laura of I’m an Organizing Junkie. Have a great week with yummy dinners!
