Meal Planning Monday

I wrote this on Saturday, believe it or not... it was the only day I could get to the grocery store to get everything we would need for our weekly meals...
I didn't bother to make a meal plan for last week and I saw a real difference in how we ate. Haphazard, thrown-together meals that often lacked the kind of nutrition I would like to see.

For this week, I am only planning dinners. As I get better at this whole planning thing, I hope to plan out the kids lunches as well. We mostly stick to crackers and cheese, pb&j sandwiches, cream cheese rollups, fresh veggies and fruit, hummus and pita, etc... Z (the almost 3 year old) is very very picky with what he eats, despite my best efforts. W (the 9 month old) will eat anything. True story. He's a hoover and can put back ALMOST the same amount as me.

So, this week our meals will include:

Monday

Sweet and Sour Chicken with Bell Peppers and Batsami Rice

Tuesday

Pasta and sauce (child request) or homemade mac and cheese if I have any energy:)

Wednesday

Molasses Coffee Marinated Pork Chops with mashed potatoes and carrots (Z will probably have chicken fingers...or left over pasta. He will only eat chicken and NO you can't fool him. I've tried.)

Thursday

Leftovers (whatever we have) and salad

Friday

 Pan- Seared Tilapia (with fresh lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper) and steamed broccoli/cauliflower.
