Meal Planning Monday
7:17 PM Posted In meal planning Edit This 2 Comments »
I love Menu Plan Monday at I'm An Organizing Junkie. Although I've only participated once before (and that was nearly a year ago!) I frequently check to see what others have posted. It's a great place to get new ideas.
Meal planning works really well for me, and we save a lot of money when I have a solid plan. I'm hoping to set aside some time every weekend to plan our meals for the coming week.
Here is this week:
Monday - Meatloaf, brown sugar glazed baby carrots and steamed green beans.
Tuesday - Leftovers
Wednesday - Honey Mustard Chicken and steamed vegetables (New recipe!)
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Herb and Sesame Scallops with Orange and Fennel Salad (New recipe!)
Saturday/Sunday - Chicken Soup (New recipe!)
I'm trying a few new recipes this week. The Chicken Soup recipe is in a cookbook, so I don't have a link handy. I'll post more about it this weekend when I make it.
We observe Lent, so Fridays are going to be meatless for a while. I'm going to try to cook a variety of seafood or other meatless dishes so we don't end up going to seafood restaurants every Friday night. I have never cooked much seafood. In fact, canned tuna and frozen shrimp represent my entire experience with seafood in my kitchen. I didn't grow up eating fish or other seafood at home, so I think I've always been intimidated by the idea of cooking it. Maybe this Lenten season is the time when I get over that.

Oh that honey mustard chicken recipe looks divine. Can't wait to dig out the BBQ (under 5 feet of snow) I could do something similar in the oven for now. Thanks
