March 30 - April 5
Hello, mealplanning! Long time no post. I've still been reading, and I've even been meal planning sometimes; I just haven't gotten around to posting. I'm going to try to fix that.
This week's menu will be chicken-heavy, as we were given a huge bag of chicken that wouldn't fit in our fully stocked freezer. We had to leave it in the fridge, and it has thawed, so I have to cook it up quickly. I'm also trying to get back into the habit of planning healthy low-sodium, carbs-balanced-with-protein meals, since my blood pressure has started going wonky again.
Saturday, March 30
L: Leftover homemade soup
D: Steak &/or Chicken Fajitas
Sunday, March 31 - Easter
L: Eat out after church
D: Crockpot Chicken Taco Soup
Monday, April 1
B: Mom's annual guilty pleasure April Fool's joke (which the kids never seem to remember from year to year...yet): “Who wants cookies & cake for breakfast?!” This time I'll try to get them to eat a consolation prize of homemade kefir with jam, granola, & mixed berries.
L: Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
D: 2-Bean Sweet Potato Chili
Tuesday, April 2 - Artist Date
L: Leftovers
D: Dad's Choice
Wednesday, April 3
