Weekly Meal Plan and now GOALS!! – February 23, 2015

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

Since I’m really trying to be more intentional and do more planning, I’m going to try and include weekly goals with my weekly menu plan. My hope is that posting them will hold me accountable to taking time to formulate weekly goals and also to meeting them. I’ve categorized them as Wife/Mom, Me, Home & Blog/Young Living.

So here we go!!

Weekly Goals

Blog/Young Living

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??

Weekly Meal Plan – Going For Two

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

Menu Plan Monday

This weekend Brooke had her first sleepover at our house and Keith was traveling with the football team so I’m impressed that I had time to get a meal plan together and grocery shop on Sunday. Not only that, I went ahead and planned for two weeks! Whoop!!

So here goes:

Meatball Subs
Chili – already made and in the fridge to be heated up!
Alton Brown’s Stove Top Mac n’ Cheese – Brooke’s suggestion for the meal plan
Where’s The Crust Pizza – I’be been wanting to try this for awhile. It should be perfect for Friday Pizza Night.
Creamy Broccoli Chicken Shells & Cheese – I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a copule weeks and its definitely happening this time!
Skinny Salisbury Steak with Mushrooms – I had lunch with Brooke at her school on her birthday and salisbury steak was on the menu. I’ve been craving it, but good, since then.
Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole – I have another one of these in the freezer if I need it!

In addition to these recipes, I also stocked up on a few quickies that I can throw together when needed:
Southern-Style Chicken Filets – Aldi carries these and they are like Chick-Fil-A chicken. We throw them on buns with the pickle and everything.
Hot Dogs
Hamburgers
Grilled Cheese & Popcorn – our regular Thursday night dinner

Throw in a leftover night or two and another night or two of eating out and we’ve got two weeks of meals planned and ready to get on the table. I’ll update next Monday and we’ll see how this two weeks at a time method is working for us.

How far in advance do you plan meals?
