Meal Planning

I've mentioned I'm new at this meal planning concept.  I continue to try and plan each week with a well-rounded combination of meals, including several new recipes.  Sometimes, however, I get a little lost in what sounds good and forget to look at the plan from that 'well-rounded' vantage point.  This happened last week when I ended up with lots of heavy, rich meals.

Mon: Ham, spinach, and cheese quiche (New Recipe!) 
Tues: Tortellini topped w/ pesto, feta, walnuts
Wed: Honey barbecue turkey meatloaf, broccoli, potatoes
Thur: Sweet potato soup
Fri: Homemade pizza
Sat-Sun: Left overs


So this week is a recovery week.  Also, this week my husband is not eating any meals at home, as he is working night shifts at the hospital.  So, the meals are chosen a bit more to my personal style!

Mon: Sweet tomato basil bisque (New Recipe & Shockingly Delicious!)
Tues: Fresh veggie wraps (New Recipe!)
Wed: Tortellini w/ red sauce
Thur: Lentil quinoa salad
Fri: Traveling

    1. Great menu... and hahaha I read the food items before I read the blurb above about how your husband is working... because I was like hmmm those sound like meals I would LOVE but my husband would definitely go "no meat again?" each night :-)

  2. I totally struggle with the same thing (making a week of well-rounded meals that is!). Love the guidance. :)
