Menu Plan Monday--11/30-12/6 (Dinner Only!)



Planning meals is something I’ve never been particularly good at doing on the fly. Thus, I like to plan my meals for the week. Lately the exhaustion and nausea that accompanies early pregnancy has me finding myself really lax in completing this once a week task. Today, I got myself back on track and actually planned a menu! As I told Ish, these plans may not come to fruition; morning sickness isn’t really a predictable thing.


Menu Plan:

Monday- Scrambled eggs and oven fries (the “we just got back from vacation and haven’t grocery shopped yet” dinner)


Tuesday- BBQ chicken, Cheesy broccoli and rice, pineapple


Wednesday- Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Pork, brown rice, cucumber slices


Thursday-Cheesy bean burritos with salsa, carrot sticks, brown rice


Friday- Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili, tortilla chips, guacamole


Saturday- Pasta, tomato sauce, carrot sticks


Sunday-Manager’s Special (aka Ish’s day to cook)

Bantering Bookworm, thank you so much for commenting on my blog, my recipe for turkey lasagna is sort of a cheat weak recipe as it includes no bake lasagna noodles and jar pasta sauce, but it's a good one for the busy days. 1 lb ground turkey browned and drained, mix together 1 small container of ricotta, 1 small container of 2% cottage cheese, 2 cups grated mozzerella cheese (keep 1 cup to the side), 1 cup grated parmesean, 1 1/2 teaspoons basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregeno. 1 large jar of spaghetti sauce of your choice, and no bake lasagna noodles. mix sauce into ground turkey and make 1/2 of this your first layer, then spoon and spread a layer of cheese mix, prepared noodles, sauce, and top with remaining mozzerella cheese. bake at 350 for 40 minutes. would you mind sharing your chili recipe? Thanks again!
