I spoke a little a few days ago about how we're trying to eat more simple meals. This worked pretty well for us last week, and we're keeping at it this week. The only problem is that I don't want to eat the same thing every week - so it's tough to find lots of simple meals. Or rather, I may think that a meal is simple, but end up cooking & washing dishes much longer than I anticipate! (As happened tonight...)
Without further ado... this week's plan!
Monday: Hamburger stroganoff & tomato/basil/mozzarella salad (tomatoes & basil from our garden!)
Tuesday: More hamburger stroganoff, this time with congealed salad
Tuesday: More hamburger stroganoff, this time with congealed salad
Wednesday: Tacos, made with our dinner kit from Publix (see Southern Savers' Publix deals)
Thursday: Again, tacos
Friday: Baked yellow rice & veggies (we won't use the chicken, this feels like a pretty complete meal even without meat)
Saturday: Leftovers for lunch, out to dinner with friends.
Sunday: Homemade pizza for lunch, breakfast for dinner!
Overall, a pretty simple week. Today I probably cooked more than I will the rest of the week, which works just fine. One other note - we do eat sides with our meals, just often I don't know what we'll eat when, so they don't always make it into the meal plan. I guess when there's only two of us, we have a little more flexibility. We'll try to eat a good bit of fruit this week on the side, though.

Please let me know any suggestions you may have for our menu plan or for things you'd like to see in my future menu planning posts!

The baked yellow rice and veggies looks yummy! We will have to try that. Menu planning has been falling by the wayside lately :)
Our two constants are veggie sandwiches and bean burritos!
I love tacos, they are tentatively on the plan for next week!
