Weekly Goals & Meal Plan – Welcome March!

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

March is here!! 2015 is flying by already! Whew!!

I really liked having my weekly goals written here and out in the world, so to speak. It definitely kept them fresh in my mind as the week went along and knowing I was going to be reporting back held me accountable.

So how did I do? I am bummed to say the crazy winter weather here in East Tennessee and Leah’s tummy bug threw everything off kilter for me. It feels like an excuse but it really complicated things. You’ll see that a good number of last week’s goals will be rolling over into this week.

Weekly Meal Plan – February 1, 2015

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

The first month of 2015 has come and gone but I’m still committed to being more intentional – my ONE WORD for the year. I’ve gotten my meal plan done just about every week but haven’t had the time to post them up here.

Yesterday I was a rock start and got so much done – including prepping for this week’s meals. The Chicken Noodle Casserole is something we had for dinner last week but I made two so we’re eating the extra one this week. Chili has been made and is in the fridge. I’m hoping to get the Turkey Meatloaf Bites made today.

In my Day In The Life post earlier this week, I mentioned that even though it was a Thursday, which we’ve designated as Grilled Cheese & Popcorn Night, we had breakfast burritos due to the lack of bread in the pantry. Those breakfast burritos were a hit so we’re making those a much more regular thing! Right now I’m putting them in Fridays to alternate with pizza nights. I’ll probably also keep them on deck for nights that are busy for one reason or another.

Needless to say, I’m feeling good going into this week!! Here’s the meal plan:

Meal Plan February 1, 2015

Super Bowl Sunday – Brats & hot dogs, chicken wings and assorted snacky stuff
Monday – Chicken Noodle Casserole from the freezer
Tuesday – Chili that’s waiting in the fridge
Wednesday – Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf Bites
Thursday – Grilled Cheese & Popcorn Night
Friday – Breakfast Burritos

Do you have a meal or two that you have every week? Or do you mix it up??
