Happy Monday!
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.
SO, I am trying something new in hopes to keep me more organized for meals during the week and also to help save some moola! I have tried this so many times but fall off the wagon after a week. I figured maybe if I blogged about it, it would help me stay on track and also share some of our favorite meals with you. I love finding new recipes!!! Blogs and Pinterest are great resources to find awesome recipes.
I love that menu planning can be flexible. If we don't feel like eating what we have planned for a particular day, we can change it up with one of the other days!
I've discovered this awesome meal plan sheet through one of the blogs that I read weekly. A BIG thanks goes out to Darci at The Good Life Blog! It's a free printable from the Elephant Shoe Blog. The print can be found here.
Here's what we have cooking in our kitchen this week:
Monday: Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Carrots and Red Potatoes - I have always used a recipe from allrecipes.com when it comes to Pot Roast but I thought I'd try this one by Paula Deen. It smells so good in our house right now - we can't wait to try it.
Tuesday: Honey - Lime Sweet Potato Black Bean & Corn Tacos - These look amazing! We are huge sweet potato fans, so we are really looking forward to these. I came across this on Pinterest.
Wednesday: BBQ Chicken Breasts grilled on the traeger along with this Lighter Three-Cheese Mac - We make chicken breasts all the time but the mac & cheese is a new recipe. It looks yummy!
Thursday: Sophie's Chopped Salad - This is a staple in our house. We've had this so many times, especially in the summer. I've been craving a good salad lately though! We use Kalamata Olives instead of the Nicoise Olives (they're pretty similar). We also usually do without the tortilla strips. Sometimes we will even add some chopped grilled chicken to it. It's so good!
Friday: Papa Murphy's! Friday night is our lazy night and we typically go grab a pizza, unless we have plans. Once in awhile we'll go out. Saturday and Sunday are up in the air as well.
Hope some of these recipes look appetizing to others!
What's on your menu for the week?!
