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.

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?
That shrimp and couscous sounds so amazing. I love anything that's made with shrimp! Yum.

I am very excited to try it. I like shrimp too but want to make it in different ways and add different spice combinations to it.
DeleteI love salmon patties, I will check out your meatless receipe!
ReplyDeleteSalmon patties are one of the few meatless meals my husband likes.
DeleteIt' s amazing how you add meatless days gradualy and also that you make the most out of your left overs! I love the no-waste mindset!
ReplyDeleteWe 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!
ReplyDeleteShrimp with couscous sounds so yummy! We're making homemade burgers tonight and a honey garlic salmon tomorrow... But I haven't planned the rest of the week yet
ReplyDeleteI'm all for one pot recipes! Have never made chili mac and cheese so will have to give this recipe a go!
ReplyDeleteIt was a first for us as well.
DeleteSome great planning's and food recipes's here. Guess, I need to learn these skills from you, since I don't plan anything.
ReplyDeleteCorn 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI do like corn and mashed potatoes!
DeleteSound like a good menu, I don't eat meat myself so the meatless days sound awesome. I look forward to the shrimp and couscous recipe.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the shrimp and couscous dish. It sounds delicious and very healthy in the same time.
ReplyDeleteIt was so I good.I don't usually have a lot of shrimp on hand but maybe I will start!
DeleteThe chili mac looks so good! I love to plan my meals in advance because it saves time and makes things so much easier :)
ReplyDeleteOh the mac and cheese sounds so good right now! I am becoming more and more a fan of the one pot meals.

I'm jealous of your leftover nights! ;) Too many boys in my house for that many leftovers!
ReplyDeleteI have one little man so we shall see what happens. I do have a teen though and she just got back for the summer so she is helping to clean up the fridge.
DeleteI just cant seem to get into meal planning. Whenever I plan, I change my mind.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.

I love that the recipes you found last for a few days!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to plan meals before but many people say that this is such a time saver. I have to try it one day.
ReplyDeleteOooooo sounds like you had a yummy week!!! I just love it when I make something yummy and have left overs! Sometimes leftovers are better than the actual meal was the first time lol
