As a busy mom, I know what it’s like to have food in the pantry and fridge, but not have a single clue as to what to make for dinner. To help me organize, I attempt to create menus on a weekly basis. It doesn’t always happen, and it doesn’t always happen on time - there have been plenty of times when I've created a menu mid-week!
I also participate in a food co-op and every two weeks, we get a basket of half vegetables and half fruit for $16.50. We can't beat the price, and this week’s fruit and vegetable haul includes:
- Lettuce
- Avocado
- Anaheim Chilies
- Cucumbers
- Tomatoes
- Asparagus
- Broccoflower
- Red Potatoes
- Mangoes
- Bananas
- Honey Dew Melon
- Blackberries
So to use up this week's basket, here’s my menu. With all my vegetables, I try to get at least 1 meatless meal in a week.
Monday – Crispy Beef Tacos w/Tomatoes, Lettuce, and Avocado (double taco meat batch, freeze for another meal.)
Tuesday – Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Wednesday – Meatloaf Patties w/Roasted Red Potatoes and Broccoflower Florets
Thursday – Sautéed Chicken Breasts, Roasted Asparagus and Cucumber Salad
Friday – Out
Saturday – Spaghetti with Marinara and Side Salad, or out, depending on how I feel.
Sunday – Chicken Enchiladas and Green Enchilada Sauce (freeze leftover enchiladas)
What do you plan on eating this week?
