I have NO idea what to make for dinner any more. I say we have no food. Scott opens the freezer and says, "We have...." and proceeds to list all of the things that I can clearly see in there. He then adds, "And that's JUST the freezer."
Yes, Scott, we have food.
We don't have things to turn into MEALS.
I am a big believer that a good meal has a main dish and a side. I also know that I need to eat more vegetables and other healthier choices. While I can't guaruntee the healthy part, I can at least start trying to plan meals. Then instead of coming home and eating something unsatisfying, a plan will be in place.
Cue Elizabeth from The Young Retiree and Jane from Adventures to Taingamala. They have come up with Menu Planning Mondays. While I can't promise to link-up every week. I thought that this week would get me off to a start.
Monday
Today, I have a Decor Divas team meeting at my sponsoring designer's house for Celebrating Home. So Scott is on his own. (He has to work night shift anyway). I'm not sure what the main course for dinner will be because everyone always brings something to share. I'm taking my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip.
(UPDATE: Both school and my meeting were cancelled today because winter will just not go away here in PA. I'm definitely having my dip for dessert. I'm going to try to stick to the plan for the rest of the week and come up with something to eat today...wish me luck!)
Tuesday
Dinner Time Tuesday! You should come link up. (Confession. My post this week will be about something I had for dinner last week. This is necessary to be able to go live Tuesday evening.) What I'll actually be having? Chili with corn bread.
Wednesday
Fish sticks with Velveeta shells & cheese and steamed broccoli
Thursday
Beef pot roast with potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots. There may be a side of French or Italian bread involved here. (Update: When I went grocery shopping, I couldn't find the bread I wanted. I actually chose a half-loaf of sour dough bread. It will be delicious!)
Friday
Cheese Ravioli with cheesy garlic bread and a side salad
Saturday
Leftovers. (It is likely that there will be chili and roast left over.)
Sunday
Finally, we will finish the week by having Steak Sandwiches with mushrooms, peppers, and onions and a side of chips.
I promise to do my best to stick with this plan! :) What are you having this week?
