Last week’s meal planning went pretty well. I had a few unexpected things come up so I had to shuffle dinners around a bit. I still have three meals leftover that I didn’t make that I will move over to the next two weeks of planning. (I plan for two weeks at a time.) I still have Chicken Burritos, Chicken Pot Pie, and Herbed Pork Chops to make. The only problem I ran into moving things was when I went to make my sweet and sour meatballs, two days late, the bean sprouts and fresh herbs had died. We have a lot of busy nights this week so I need to make sure I’m on top of what we need to eat the next day ahead of time or I won’t get dinner done in time for our activities.

One of last week’s meals.
I need to plan my meals a bit better, been using a few different apps for it, thank you for sharing!
Yum, what a tasty casserole!
I’ve been so tired of our dinners lately. I need to come up with some new recipes!
I need to get better at planning our meals. We end up having to stop at the grocery store for something from the deli or, worse yet, ordering takeout. I *want* to cook, I just need to get better at planning so I don’t feel overwhelmed in the evenings.
I envy how organized you are with this meal planning. I usually decide sometime in the afternoon what I’ll eat for dinner that day!
Woot! Let me know how you all liked the turnovers Paula 🙂
I need to plan my meals for the family better. I love how organized you are.
I want to try shepherd’s pie cupcakes… I’ve never made shepherd pie before. Your menu sounds delicious!
I envy those that plan their meals I am so not much of a planner.
That Cowboy Casserole looks super good!! We don’t schedule meals like that I just make whatever.. but I love the idea of it. I think it would make my life a LOT easier!
I have such a hard time coming up with meals for the week. Thanks for all of these great ideas!
That cowboy casserole looks delish!! I love your menu plan!
My husband is always nagging me to meal plan, but I honestly have a hard time with it because I really dislike cooking.
I need to start meal planning. It would save a lot of time!
I wished I could meal plan ahead like that. I have such a hard time deciding what to cook anymore that it’s pretty much a day by day. Your cowboy casserole sure looks good though.
I need to get back to meal planning…I’ve been so busy lately.
That cowboy casserole looks amazing. We love meals like this.
I’ve been doing meal plans again after a long hiatus {I was too sick to cook regularly for a long time} so thank you for the inspiration! I’m adding Ranch Chicken Fingers to our plan for this week!
I don’t meal plan and I totally know I should. It’s one of the things I’m going to be working on in 2014.
