For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows grace and favor and glory - honor, splendor and heavenly bliss! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

My Weekly Meal Plan 3/29/09

I didn't share my plan last week, and I guess that's a good thing because we ate so much leftovers last week that I didn't end up cooking as much as I thought I would. So my plan this week is pretty much based on the foods I didn't get the chance to cook last week. Great for my grocery bill that's for sure!

Again, I don't assign meals to days, I pretty much just decide that morning what I'm going to make out of the following options:

Zuppa Toscana Soup & Irish Soda Bread - I froze my leftover bread from St. Patty's day, so I figure we'll pull that out and use it. The soup is just like the one served at Olive Garden, you should really make some.

Burritos - I'll make mine with seasoned ground beef. Serve it up with tomatoes, cilantro, green onions and sour cream. This is Hubs' favorite, he's been asking for it for a while so here it is!

Chicken Pie with Cornmeal Crust - Great gluten-free recipe! Found it on parenting.com. I'll share it here if it turns out good.

Ranch Chicken with Potato Salad & Green Beans - This will be next week's Mystery Spice recipe, so stay tuned!

Chicken with Asian Marinade with Rice & Salad - I plan to make a huge batch of this chicken and marinade for my freezer.

So that's 5 meals. Generally that's all I need for a week because depending on how much leftovers we have we'll need a couple days of unscheduled meals to eat what I make. And if it's so good that we scarf it all down and don't eat leftovers? Well, that's unlikely, but there's always take out for those rare occasions. :)

Love the meal choices!! My week always goes much smoother when I'm not looking at the fridge at 5 wondering what to cook :)

Your menu for the week sounds yummy!!! I can't wait to read the recipe for ranch chicken! It sounds good!

I just picked up some turkey cutlets and some country style pork ribs and I have no clue what to do with either of them. Any ideas? Oh I did notice your recipe post below so I may check that out for the turkey!

Very yummy!
I have often thought of not assigning days. I end up moving everything around any how..
