Meal Plan April 4th, 2016
How is it time to grocery shop again already? Honestly, this week flew by. Because the kids had Monday off for Easter I felt behind all week long. Oh, well, what are you going to do? What I do love is hearing from you meal planners! And even bumping into people at the grocery store, prepping for the week. It’s pretty cool. There’s something nice knowing that other people are cooking along with you, isn’t there?
Okay, this week a bit of familiar, a bit of novelty. I hope you’re cool that we’re going repeat sometimes in the meal plan. I know for me, that it’s good to have to regulars that my kids see a few times a month. If you let me know what the greatest hits are in your homes, I’ll be sure to weave those in. So, we start with a popular classic, the Orecchiette with Turkey and Broccoli. It’s so easy it’s stupid. Then we cruise into Tuesday with a vegetarian soup that leans on your pantry. Wednesday is a tray bake, which is a major obsession of mine. Thursday, when I expect to be losing steam, it’s an egg bake – feel free to switch up the veggies to suit your family. Then we’re going to party on Friday – a pizza party.
Let me know how it’s going for you, what you like, what would make this more useful, etc. We love hearing from you!
