Meal Plan Monday

On March 26, 2012 by Tricia

Our (Kristi’s) family had a bit of a family emergency this month, so the kids and I packed up to visit Grandma. This sent our menu plans into a bit of a tizzy since my mom isn’t quite as far along the Get Real spectrum as we are at our house. I’ll admit I get a little mopey every time I speak to my husband over Skype…and not just because I miss him, but also because I can see my beautiful stand mixer and food processor in the background.

We are heading out of town on a road trip for spring break with the family, so my menu plan needs to be flexible.

The solutions that bring me sanity are keeping prepped meals in the freezer, and pre-planning our weekly meals.

Re-entry from vacation can be difficult, thank goodness I planned and cooked ahead using the Mini Menus so I didn’t have to worry about cooking in between the loads of laundry!

For our meals this week I’m trying to use up items that I already have in the fridge, plus looking forward to an at-home date night on Friday.

Our family is following along with Get Real this year and we’re making great progress so far. It’s pretty exciting and, as we’ve discovered, an even tastier experience than we expected. This week’s vegetarian menu plan includes Pumpkin Black Bean Enchiladas and Baked Seitan Pepperoni Pizza.

This week is a big fun one with a day off from school, a birthday, XC ski meets and sleepovers. Having a menu plan helps everything move smoothly even when you are having fun!

I am gearing up for a OAMM cooking day, so trying to clear out my deep freezer and my fridge freezer of things that need to be eaten!

We need to get back into the daycare and work routines again so a set menu for the week will be a life-saver when 5:00 hits.

It’s another post-holiday week and it’s also gearing toward the start of the new year, when many of us will renew pledges of healthy eating. I for one, am excited to wrap up my 2011 New Year’s Resolution, 365 days of converting family favorites into vegetarian meals over at Veggie Converter, this week.

This week is full of easy meals leading up to our big family Christmas Eve dinner, with a few of my kiddos’ favorite meals to celebrate having some time off.
