Good morning everyone! How are you guys doing?  My weekend has been great so far and I’ll keep it short and sweet because I’m off to go for a run before attending a boat show with my husband (not sure how I got talked into that one ;)) before we watch the Super Bowl tonight!  I don’t love football, but I sure do like the commercials. 

———————————————————————-

While I love to cook and even plan food for a party, I do not love the process of meal planning each week for my little family.  When I make my grocery list, I do think about what ingredients I need for a couple meals, but then the rest is just random things I want and things I see on sale while actually shopping.  That is why most of our dinners end up being a hodgepodge of vegetables/salads/protein.  While I am completely fine with this, my husband prefers more well-planned balanced meals.  

So in honor of trying to please my husband ;), here is our meal plan for the week:

Sunday: Spaghetti squash with pesto and grilled chicken/shrimp

Monday: Tacos (tofu for me, ground turkey for the hubs)

Tuesday: Veggie Cauliflower Fried Rice (recipe to come!)

Wednesday: Grilled salmon with roasted broccoli and sauteed mushrooms

Thursday: Burgers (veggie for me, meat for the hubs) with sweet potato fries

Friday: Out/wing it

Saturday: Out/wing it 

Almost all of our meals include a big salad too and some popcorn or dark chocolate chips for dessert! 

I don’t follow many recipes, but am happy to help if you have any questions about ingredients I use, how I cook things, or substitutions you may need!  I hope this helps inspire some of your meals for this week! 

Questions:

1. Do you meal plan each week or wing it?
2. What is a favorite repeat meal you make each week?
3. Do you like spaghetti squash?  Have a good recipe for it?
