Meal Planning 4/8 - 4/11

We are headed to my in-laws' home in Oceanside, California this coming weekend, so I only had to plan a few meals this week.

Monday: Baked Potato Soup. I'm using potatoes from my Bountiful Basket from two weeks ago and bacon I purchased from the butcher. I rarely eat meat, but when I do, I try to get it as fresh and hormone free as possible. This is a non-internet recipe I have doctored over the years. Now that it's summer and there is still light when I finish cooking, maybe I'll take a few pictures and post it as a new recipe! In the meantime, if you would like the recipe, comment below and I will send it to you.

Tuesday: Pasta with fresh tomato sauce. This link is the closest I could find online to what I will be making.

Wednesday: Revolutionary Mac and Cheese. This looks SUPER yummy! I'll toss in some asparagus on the side to make this a nice, full meal.
All set for a yummy week!
Breakfasts will be rolled oats. Brent likes to add brown sugar to his. I like to add honey and bananas to mine. Lunches will consist of sandwiches made with homemade Oatmeal Molasses bread and black bean and cheddar burritos. Our in-between snacks will be fresh produce and smoothies. I loaded up at Costco this week grabbing strawberries, bananas, plums, apples, grapes, blueberries, asparagus, baby carrots and spinach.

Helpful tip: I wash and cut all my produce in one sitting. It takes a while, but once the cleaning is finished, the produce is ready to grab-and-go during the week. This means (for my family) less produce rots sitting on the counter waiting to be prepped.

Happy eating!

  1. We are babysitting #3's puppy so I have a feeling I am not going to be able to meet you . Darn. But text me anyway. I'd like to try but can't promise.
    You are doing a great job on your meal planning. It pays to be organized

  2. Ugh, I fell off the wagon so badly this week in terms of eating right, in a perfect storm of menstrual hormones and 50% of Easter candy. :( I shall look at your healthy fridge and be inspired to re-direct this week. Off the internet, and to the gym now! ;)

  3. I will just blow up a picture of the contents of your fridge and stick it on the front of mine to look like we eat as well!
