Meal Plan~ Labor Day

Okay, let's try this again. Today (Saturday), we followed the meal plan. *round of applause please.  We ate tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch (the boys also ate baby Lima beans). For dinner I make a pork loin in the oven with carrots, onions, and potatoes. It was so good I will insert a picture:


Anyways, this is Labor Day weekend so I am NOT looking forward to grocery shopping tomorrow, but it is a necessary evil. Here is my meal plan that I WILL follow!

For Breakfasts: Oatmeal, Raisin Bran (my personal fav), English muffins with egg and turkey sausage, or waffles.

Sunday:
  • Lunch: Leftovers... we have plenty!
  • Dinner: Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, and asparagus
 Monday: 
  • Lunch: Grill Food! Burgers and hot dogs with baked beans and mac&cheese... America! 
  • Dinner: Shepherd's Pie (with ground turkey)
Tuesday:
  • Lunch: Broccoli Mac&cheese
  • Dinner: Leftover Shepherd's pie
Wednesday: 
  • Lunch: Prorogues/ homemade pizza... quite a combo, I know.
  • Dinner: BBQ Chicken sandwiches, broccoli, and mac&cheese
Thursday:
  • Lunch: Crab legs and corn on the cob (the boys will prob not eat sandwiches #pickyeaters )
  • Dinner: Torteloni & peas
Friday:
  • Crazy day at Emmett's school and my work... we will probably grab lunch somewhere 
  • Dinner: something quick and easy like PB&J with yogurt and fruit

Meal Plan FAIL!

It wouldn't be unusual for us to have to adjust our meal plan a little... Things come up, no big deal. This is the first week in the history of our family that we have literally not made one dish from our meal plan. My awful week began with getting sick.  I missed work Tuesday and was still worthless Wednesday. I was in survival mode all week and it's been rough. I really couldn't even tell you what we ate this week but I faintly recall my husband making pasta at some point. 
... Here's hoping next week goes a little more smooth.
