Meal Planning

August7

These days I go in spurts.  Some weeks, I plan meals down the snack, the drink, and the side dish.  Some weeks, I try to play it by ear and get rid of the extra stuff we accu­mu­lated in the fridge and the pantry.  Some­times, though, I pro­cras­ti­nate meal plan­ning because I can’t think of any­thing good to eat.  This week, I decided to try meals from the Meat­less Mon­day web­site.  Usu­ally, I am an All­recipes user, but this week, I thought I would change it up a little.

Here is what we are hav­ing this week­end and in the upcom­ing week:

Sat­ur­day:

Lunch:  Banana Crumb muffins, fruit, left­over But­ter Chick­pea Curry
Sup­per:  Lemon Aspara­gus Penne

Sun­day:

Lunch:  Left­overs
Sup­per:  Fall Veg­gies in Red Wine Sauce (Although I am not sure we can get all the ingre­di­ents for this one.  I have never seen porci­nis at the store)

Mon­day:

Lunch:  Left­overs
Sup­per:  Spaghetti Squash I

Tues­day:

Lunch:  Left­overs
Sup­per:  Veg­e­tar­ian Paella

Wednes­day:

Lunch:  Left­overs (sens­ing a pat­tern for our lunches?)
Sup­per:  Leftovers

Thurs­day:

Lunch:  Left­overs
Sup­per:  Cheesy Veg­etable Wrap

If any of my read­ers mealplan, I would love to get ideas from other peo­ple.  Jason used to always sug­gest we try some­thing new.  Now, I rarely make the same thing more than once or twice.  I am hav­ing a hard time keep­ing up with my need for new recipes.  If you have some great ones, let me know!

    I want to find a resource that has recipes that don’t use processed food (like instant pud­ding or cream of mush­room soup…). Any ideas?
