Menu Planning

We started planning out our meals for the week on Sunday and making one trip to the grocery store for everything we'd need for the next 5-7 days. This will be the third week we've done it and let me tell ya...It's made a HUGE difference in our week nights.
I used to go to the grocery store multiple times a week and it was so draining. I only get a few hours with Benjamin Mon-Fri after work before he goes to bed and the last thing I want to do is spend that time at the store.
It's made things so much less stressful, plus I've been finding new recipes and trying them out (at least 1-2 new meals a week)

Our Menu for this week

• Tacos (which Benjamin tore up last night. I was surprised, he ate the whole taco shell and everything inside)
• Chicken, Rice and Broccoli Bowl (I'm using a new recipe for this one)
  
• Meatloaf, roasted sweet potatoes and Broccoli
• Chicken skewers with grilled peppers

I only have four meals this week b/c it never fails, there's always one night we end up doing something simple like a sandwich or cereal for dinner.

I'm looking for more suggestions. If you've got a favorite recipe-please pass it on. Anything that's appropriate for a week night dinner and somewhat on the healthy side. Just leave a comment on this post with the recipe or the link :)

And just b/c a post without a picture is sad, here's a picture from last weeks menu














It's Tilapia, roasted asparagus and potatoes.

Unfortunately, we've realized David has developed a fish allergy so it'll prob. be a while before I make fish again.
