If any of you need some inspiration check out this section at allrecipes.com. I really like this site and use it often to look for recipes or ideas of what to cook.
Breakfast, during the week: toast with peanut butter or cereal and banana. I alternate.
Brunch on Saturday or Sunday: eggs, and toast
Lunches: I also alternate between soup and salads. I am going to make sure I buy enough soup this week to get through the whole week. When less busy I make soup, but this month is going to be filled with work.
Dinners (which are what I want to meal plan). I commit to these dinners, and will purchase sufficient groceries to make these. I will choose which to make from this list each night. It is a different way to meal plan, but this is the way I have found works best for me. Gives me flexibility depending on how much cooking I feel like doing.
- Fish tacos- corn tortillas, snapper, cabbage, salsa
- Chicken and potatoes- boneless, skinless chicken, small potatoes and cherry tomatoes, plus salad greens. This recipe is from Jamie Oliver- I really enjoy his show Jamie at Home on the Food Network.
- Sausages and salad.
- Nachos- with lots of veggies, always a nice quick meal.
- Roast chicken with roasted potatoes, and carrots.
- Thai pumpkin/squash soup made with coconut milk. Cornbread.
- Stir fry with rice and vegetables, including green beans.
Did you mention how long it takes you to plan this and I missed it? My worse fault is that I would come home starving so I wouldn't have the patience to defrost, prepare, etc.
