Weekly Menu 8/14-8/18



  Last week I made all my planned meals except for the vegetarian chili on Thursday.  I would normally carry over the meal into the next week but I'm missing a few important ingredients too so I'll put that back into the pile.

  This week I'm only making 3 meals because there are enough leftovers in the house to feed us for a couple days.

Monday 8/14
1 pot chili mac

Tuesday 8/15
Meatless

Wednesday 8/16

Thursday 8/17
Leftovers

Friday 8/18
Leftovers

  I'm looking forward to my short week.  Plus as long as we eat up the leftovers the weekly plan was a success.  If meals get thrown away because it's old or under appreciated it's definitely a sad waste.

  Any meal plans this week for you?  Any dinner out plans?

  4. We do eat a lot of left-overs too, such a waste not to do it, isn't it? Must do a meal-plan like yours, it saves so much time trying to figure out what to cook!

  8. Corn as substitute for rice, or mashed potato instead of rice is also good. For lazy days I do mashed potato, boiled broccoli, carrots, and sprinkled with spices :)

  15. You are so organized with all your meal planning and prep. I wish I could be organized like this. Sometimes I can go for about a couple of weeks but then I fall out of syn again. The shrimp with couscous sounds so good.
