Meal Plan January 20, 2012

Organizing Junkie

So, I think I was meant to be rich...
I don't mind meal planning, the shopping makes me crazy but that's a time issue, (if I were rich, I wouldn't be working, there wouldn't be a time issue), but then often sometimes during the week when it's actually time to make dinner, I just don't feel like it.  Or, I don't feel like putting the work into what I planned, or, whatever.  Still, I will admit the plan helps keep me on track, I just wish I had a magic ball that would tell me what I'm actually going to be in the mood for each night of the week.  :)  What does any of that have to do with being rich?  No clue, lost my train of thought.  Still, pretty sure that's how it was meant to be.  :)

Anyone relate?

Anyway, here's the plan for the next two weeks:


Friday:  Turkey and Dumplings, cauliflower
Saturday lunch:  leftover buffet (does that sound better than plain old leftovers??)
Saturday dinner:  BBQ Cheeseburgers, oven fries, milkshakes
Sunday lunch:  Italian Antipasta Salad, Fried Ravioli
Sunday dinner:  Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos, home fries
Monday (dance):  Chef's Salads, bread

Wednesday (dance):  Meatloaf, parsleyed potatoes, glazed carrots
Thursday:  Macadamia and Panko Crusted cod w/orange butter sauce, rice pilaf w/apricots and pecans, green beans
Friday--Rebekah home!!  Yay!  Crockpot chicken sandwiches, Fritos, apples
Saturday lunch (jacob writing class):  North Market

Thursday:  Turkey Roulade (leftover from Thanksgiving), mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, broccoli

** I'm trying out my new Artisan Bread and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day.  I'm excited to give it a go.  On those inevitable, I don't want to cook what I had planned, or it's not going to work, or whatever nights, when we're brainstorming what to do about dinner Jacob often says, "Homemade pizza!", with lots of enthusiasm.  He has no clue that it doesn't just magically appear.  :)  Maybe, just maybe, with this book that could actually be a possibility.  We'll see.  I'll let you know what I think.
