Supper this Week


I thought it might be fun to start sharing my meal plans.  :)  It might not happen every week (probably won't!) but here's a start!

I usually check the next week's ads on Wednesday, plan the next week's meals and shop on Thursday.  And we usually aim for one fish meal, one bean meal, and possibly one additional meatless meal, especially if the bean meal isn't a meatless meal, like chilli, for example.  And I'm a very spoiled wife in that we always order Thai food on Wednesday nights.  Yes, that's the square I always fill in first.  ;)

Monday:  Black beans & rice
Tuesday: Pancit (A Filipino stir fry/noodle dish)
Wednesday: {Thai}
Thursday: Salmon & rice
Friday: Something with our leftover ham from Sunday
Saturday: Chicken Tikka Masala (& rice)
Sunday: Chicken Cordon Bleu & rice

Of course, it's always subject to change.  In fact, we'll probably do something different for next Sunday since we're now planning on having company.  But we'll see.  :)

Do you plan your meals?  Do you assign them to specific days?  Hmm, it seems that we're a bit heavy on the rice this week!  I hadn't noticed until now. And now I think I need to go get those beans cooking while the baby is still asleep.  ;)

  1. I have been trying to do the same thing. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not, but it is good for at least a little accountability.

  2. I am not consistent with meal planning either, because I find it so arduous. But when I do, I definitely enjoy the lack of stress and not thinking "what will we have for dinner?"
