Meal Planning and Shopping List

For the past couple of months I have been making weekly meal plans to guide us during the week. There's nothing worse than getting home from work with no or uninspired dinner plans.

Usually on Friday I plan for the following week. This is after I have looked at the weekly grocery store fliers and check out the best deals. I also look in our pantry and fridge to see what we have.

Next Week:
Dinners
Saturday- Pancit (Philippino noodle dish)
Sunday - Beef Stew
Monday - Beef and Broccoli
Tuesday - Cheesy Mac (with turkey sausage and green peas)
Wednesday - Chicken Calzones
Thursday - Vegetarian Burrito Bowls (black beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, sour cream)
Friday - Salmon Patties


Lunches (for Kiddo)
M - Bagel with turkey and cream cheese
T - PB and J
W - Tuna Sandwich
Th - Popcorn Chicken
F - Crackers and Turkey

Sides - fruit cup, apple sauce, granola bar, chips, juice box
*C and I meet up for lunch at home and usually have soup and sandwich.

Breakfast Ideas
