I don&#8217;t have to think about meal planning until May!  Yah!  That&#8217;s one less thing in my brain that&#8217;s rattling around taking up space and energy.<\/p>\n<p>This last week of meals got shifted around a bit, but that&#8217;s one of the nice things about meal planning is that based on time or necessity, you can be flexible with your meal plans and move or change things up a bit, BUT&#8230;.if you need to, you can just stick with the already laid out plan and not have to do ANY thinking.<\/p>\n<p>I had  a bit of a harder time coming up with these next couple of weeks of meals, and I think that has more to do with me feeling a bit tired, but I&#8217;m also feeling a bit icky and that doesn&#8217;t exactly lead to WANTING to eat and plan meals.<\/p>\n<p>We need to pick up a few things from the store to make this week work, and also to stock up on kids lunch type thingys.  But I do have all we&#8217;ll need for meat and so this weeks shop should be not too expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the plans for this weeks menu:<\/p>\n<p>Monday:  Bar-B-Qued Steak &#038; Potatoes and veggies (We had homemade soup on Sat as it was quick and easy)<br \/>\nTuesday: Veggie Stirfry with Pecans over rice<br \/>\nWednesday:  Roast Chicken, Potatoes, and Veggies<br \/>\nThursday:  <a href=\"http:\/\/mandajuice.typepad.com\/mandajuice\/2009\/01\/recipe-for-cashew-chicken.html\">Almond Chicken<\/a> with Rice<br \/>\nFriday:  Nacho&#8217;s<br \/>\nSaturday:  Spaghetti &#038; Salad with Garlic bread<br \/>\nSunday: Lunch out with Family &#038; Friends<br \/>\nMonday:  Fish &#038; Rice with Veggies<\/p>\n<p>This is quite a busy (schedule wise) week and so I&#8217;m hoping that everything works out well this week.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I continue to look for new recipe&#8217;s that are quick and easy to make, so let me know if you have any family favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sat down yesterday and planned out the rest of the months worth of meals.
