Oh boy this week is up in the air. Not quite sure about a set meal plan so once again we’ll play it by ear.
I’m most excited about next weeks meal plan if the outdoor oasis that we have been working on is all put together. Waiting on deliveries of an umbrella, chaise, bistro/bar set and hammock.
Time for this week’s menu plan. We’ll keep trying to follow a menu but it’s not been working out so great for us. It’s mostly me with the issue because I never know what I ‘m going to feel like having for dinner. Trying not to be too specific this week so it gives me a little room to play with.
So here we go! We’ll see how we do this week.
This week is going to be crazy busy with client work and our kitten has his last surgery on Tuesday. Who knows what the week will bring but here are the menu plans I have set up as of right now.
I do have a goal for May to not have any ‘naughty’ desserts after dinner. By naughty I mean things like ice cream, cookies, etc. There might be homemade goodies but I’m going to try for nothing processed. It’s a big change but something I need to work on.
Goal is to make some fruity ‘ice cream’, have Greek yogurt/cereal mix, homemade granola bars and things like that. I’ll have a blog post full of healthy dessert ideas that a lot of my online friends have shared with me this weekend.
Last week’s meal plan didn’t go over as well as I thought but at least I’m trying to plan ahead. We had maybe 2 meals from the list.
Sometimes you just don’t feel like having what was planned for that day. Do you ever have that problem?
Going to keep on trying though so wish me luck this week.
I’m going to try to start doing healthy meal plans again each week. We want to cut down on our dinners out AND as you have heard me say before, I want to start trying to cook some meals.
So I went through my new Cooking with Trader Joe’s Cookbook: Skinny Dish! and took a few recipes from there to try plus a meal from my friend Jedha’s Paleo meal plan program which I’ll be telling you more about very soon and came up with a bit of a plan.
Summer in many places will be coming to an end before we know it and for most it will be time to pack up the picnic baskets and grills until next season. You still have some time so lets look at some options for planning a picnic cookout menu. Hubby and I love to grill all year round even in the snow so all these ideas are perfect for us.
