This is my first week posting my meal plans and I am running a day behind. Sorry about that. I think I have it all figured (at least for now) and will be more timely next week.
This is our weekly meal plan. As life happens, we have been known to revise and improvise, but stick to this as much as possible. I hope you will find this helpful and use it whatever capacity works for your family.
I try to use fresh products and cook from scratch. I also try not to use a lot of processed foods, but it happens. We use fresh and store-bought canned/frozen vegetables and fruits. Occasionally I make homemade salad dressing, but primarily we use store-bought (but hey we are putting it on fresh produce). I do make most marinades and sauces from scratch as I find recipes I love.
My recipes come from magazines, family/friends, cookbooks, Pinterest, and my own collection. I hope to post some of my favorite recipes at some point, but until then please comment or contact me if you would like a recipe. If I am using a recipe from Pinterest I will include a link. Here are two links from recipes I used this week on the meal plan.
Leftover Mashed Potato Puffs~ I have to admit that I am not a lover of leftovers. With a family of 5, there are usually very few leftovers, but I always try to make extra mashed potatoes for another meal. These leftover mashed potato puffs were even better than the original mashed potatoes!
Grilled Honey and Ginger Marinated Flank Steak~This recipe comes from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. Her food blog was the first food blog I started following. She cooks from scratch…she does not use canned cream soups. If you stick around for a while, you will find out that I am not a fan of canned cream soups. I know a lot of people use them (I have in the past) to make great and quick meals, but I am not a fan and use that sometimes as a basis for judging whether to purchase a cookbook or follow a blog.
I hope you find this helpful as you are preparing meals for this week. Enjoy!
