Welcome to another week of summer :-) I've been feeling less than inspired lately with cooking/recipes which is pretty normal when you cook every.single.day. HA! At least it feels that way! So I went searching for "meal plans" and stumbled across an amazing site called Tastes Better From Scratch that has great meal plans and recipes. It also includes a grocery list if you want to use that as well. I love that it only includes 5 dinners so there is still room for our favorites. Plus there are breakfast, lunch, and snack ideas. I scanned a few of the recent meal plans and found that most of the recipes are things I would actually make. I haven't done this yet but apparently if you set up a free account, you can save recipes and then swap them out on meal plans if there is one you don't want to use. Such a great idea! So, I'm trying it to see if it can help me get of the rut I'm in as we crawl toward fall!
Friday - Buttermilk Waffles, Sausage and Bacon, and Fruit and Dip (this is a family favorite)
Saturday - Joshua and Nate are attending a Lake Party with their Youth Group so Darryl and I always take advantage of that to have a date night/dinner out
Sunday - We will be at my mom's! My brother Kel and sister-in-law Deb will be in town for just one night so we are hanging out and playing games for a few hours
Monday - BBQ Chicken Bowl and Salad
Tuesday - Cheese Enchiladas, Rice, and Salad
Wednesday - Nate is at my in-laws and Joshua got invited to a Whitecaps Base Ball game with friends so Darryl and I are on our own!
Thursday - Tonight is the Community Dinner that our church helps with so Joshua is helping with that; I'll eat dinner there when I go to pick him up. Darryl doesn't usually make it home in time to go so I'll have something here for him to eat.
One thing I noticed on the meal planner is there is often a main dish type of salad one night of the week. That will not fly with my guys HA! So I'm going to use the salad dish as my lunch most weeks which will be great for me!
