2) Turkey meatloaf with Baked Broccoli Mac & Cheese

3) Red Beans and Rice

4)  Chicken with Mushrooms with rice and peas.

5) Baked Garlic Lemon Tilapia with a big salad.

Meal Plan: Week of December 4

It's December in Florida... it's also around 80 degrees right now.  I think it might drop down to 60 at some point this week.  Who knows.  I want to start making come chili and different soups so I can stock my freezer, but I don't really want to have soup/chili when it's hot outside.

It looks like I'm keeping the poultry industry going this week.  :)

1) Pizza Night- I have some dough in my freezer that's calling to be used.

2) Pasta with Turkey Meatballs

3) Chicken Soft Tacos

4) Honey Chicken with vegetables and brown rice

5) Chicken and Mushrooms with roasted broccoli

6) Chicken Rollatini with Spinach

Meal Plan: Week of November 6th

2) Massive salad with chicken and more than likely some buffalo chicken dressing

3) Skillet-Roasted Chicken Breasts from November/December's Clean Eating Magazine

4) Blackened tilapia with broccoli and cheese grits

5)  BBQ Beef roast in the crock pot

4) Fried rice using the leftovers from fajita night

Weekly Meal Planning

I'm envious of people that have the discipline to sit down and plan out what their family eats every week.  I'm better than I have been in the past, but I still have a long way to go.

I don't know what people who are good at planning meals do every week but here is what I'm doing.
  • Every week I look at the Publix ad.  That way I know what's on sale and sometimes they have some good recipes on their web site.
  • I look at what we have in the house.  Since we've just moved there's not a lot to choose from but it never hurts to get a refresher.
  • I see what my friends are making and I look at my favorite blogs.  A lot of the recipes I have come from friends, family, and other blogs.
  • Also, ask the other people in your house what they want to eat.  It sounds silly but sometimes I forget to ask Mr. T what he wants to eat.
So... Here's what I have going on this week.

Monday:  Spaghetti with meat sauce.
Tuesday: Chipotle Rubbed Flank Steak (i'll probably use skirt steak because it's on sale this week)
Wednesday: We're going to with some friends for dinner
Thursday: Tacos: maybe ground turkey
Friday: Hummus and veggie wraps
Saturday: Left overs
Sunday:  I'm thinking about making some soup
