I haven't been very good about meal planning because my mom came to visit recently and froze a ton of food for us, so we've been eating that.
But this week I have a meal plan! Here's what's on it:
Quinoa and Black Bean Chili
Pan Seared Lemon Sole
Feta Chicken w/ Zucchini
Strawberry Spinach Salad
Trying lots of new things! Anything exciting on your menu plan this week?

I just went to the market and bought lots of veggies. I gave LO her first taste of brocoli and I she thought it was hilarious that she was eating little trees. 
I also bought heavy whipping cream so I can make creamy soup and pasta for LO

I'm trying to shop day by day so I make sure I'm ready to go with dinners every night.

Tuesday: leftover brats and pasta salad
Wednesday: crockpot pork with baked apples and potatoes
Thursday: Tacos
Friday: Papa Johns
Saturday: burgers and chips, fruit.
Sunday: either chicken or steak on the grill
@artbee: crunchy garlic chicken...do I follow you on Pinterest? Sounds like I need to. Can you link to the pin?
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@prettylizy: OH YUM!! Do you make the avocado burgers yourself?
since having LO I haven't been able to menu plan or even make dinner because of him, so it's been incredibly easy stuff. My husband's work schedule changes every quarter as well and this quarter he is working M, T, W 10am-10pm so we don't have dinner together anyway 
Has anyone ever done a meal plan service before? There is a lady in my area who does nutrition workshops and healthy living teaching for a living and she does a 40-day meal plan service of whole, healthy food recipes for only $20. I'm thinking of doing it since I've exhausted myself with our regulars.

@mediagirl: crockpot pork with baked apples and potatoes? share share share!!
GOLD / papaya / 10206 posts
@miss-spunkin: I got the recipe from our meal planning website relishrelish.com . Every week I get to pick out meals, it gives me recipes and even grocery lists. We love it, takes the guess work out of dinner.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@mrs. wagon: dude, I have no idea. I bought this apple and sage seasoning packet from the supermarket - http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Herbs-and-Spices/Recipe%20Inspirations/Apple-and-Sage-Pork-Chops.aspx. I'm going to add it to a crock pot and then add in a hunk of pork and some water and apple juice. Then when I get home, I'll bake a couple of apples and slice them on top of the pork. I'll bake some potatoes along with the apples. Hmmm...now I'm wondering if I should just toss the apples into the crockpot, too. That might work out well....
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
@mediagirl: yeah, I'm all about the toss it into the crockpot, but I've never crockpotted apples before! Potatoes I've done and they came out pretty mushy but really good. (with a pot roast.)
I've seen recipes to make baked potatoes in a crock pot... oh my... gonna have to try that. Ooh, I am so craving a loaded baked potato right now.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@mrs. wagon: Mmmmm loaded baked potato.......that sounds delicious.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
I have no idea! My husband and bil did the grocery shopping for this week. I do know they are grilling steaks tonight an I'm going to make some crock pot mac n cheese.
blogger / honeydew / 7081 posts
DH works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights, so my meal plan is pretty non-existant. But last night was homemade mac&cheese, tonight is German potato salad and a bacon & tomato sandwich, and Friday will be something pinned....most likely the maple-pecan salmon I found.

Hmmm, we do have plans for a little culinary excitement this week! We're eating...

Quinoa with chickpeas, sweet potatoes
Chicken liver (have never eaten these, no idea how we're cooking them yet!)
Steamed salmon with kale
More salad
@Mrs. Bee: Have you had quinoa before? It's a new favorite of mine! It's mild, but fun to eat & a great replacement for rice/carbs. Yum!
admin / watermelon / 14210 posts
@Minnie_Girl: yup we've been eating it a lot lately. it's like a crunchier rice!

@MrsBee and @Minnie_Girl
I love quinoa, we've (my son and I) been eating it for years, my husband doesn 't like it though
I've always wondered how to pronounce it. I thought it was quin-oh-ah but my Mom corrected me and said it's keen-wah.
Monday - Scalloped potatoes and ham
Tuesday - Turkey lasagna
Wednesday - leftovers
Thursday - probably pizza, DS has baseball practice
Friday - potroast in the dutchoven with fingerling potatoes
Saturday - DS's birthday party, if it's not raining we'll bbq beer can chicken, with grilled onions and beans.

@cupcakemama: yes it is. I didn't have leeks, so I used red onions and red peppers instead (to clean out the fridge) and it turned out great. My son even liked it (16 months and doesn't like a lot of spices).

@Mrs. Bee: wow, I think I need to expand my menu! I have never made any of the things you listed!
Tonight we had turkey tacos with lots of veggies--delish!!
Tomorrow I am making some sort of soup--I am thinking clam chowder with salad on the side?
Thursday we are having ravioli with homemade marinara, veggies, and garden salad
and Friday is pizza night--probably veggie pizza on homemade whole grain crust.
We have a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory, so we will probably use that some time during the weekend.
Wow, my mouth is watering just thinking about all this food!

@StbHisMrs: Fingerlings are my fave! I love them cut up and brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and rosemary. If you cook them on super high heat in the oven, they get crunchy on the outside and stay soft on the inside! YUMMY!!!

We went grocery shopping recently and they had a few nice veggies and meats on sale. So we're making:
Spaghetti with a thin tomato, onion sauce
Steak with a mushroom gravy w/ roasted veggies
Mexican day w/ ground beef, guacamole, in a tortilla & lettuce wrap
Something to go with all the leftover yogurt I made butter chicken with a few days ago
For tonight, take-out ... pizza =)
