Weekly Meal Plan, Week 4, 2020

Welcome to the Weekly Meal Plan! I’m looking forward to this week because it’s a regular degular week for me. No work travel like last week or like next week. It’s a luxurious few days to get into a groove before things get crazy again. I’m going to maximize the time by planning some pretty epic meals this week.

Before we dive in, can I just say that the Beef and Ginger Stir Fry from last week’s plan was amazing? I loved it so much and will definitely be making it again. Stirring in the butter and lemon (I used lime) at the end took it over the top for me, but my best friend Sarah also made it last week and she said it was just okay. Beware that it’s a bit of a mixed bag for some!

Okay, here’s this week’s plan….

Breakfasts:

  • I’ve been enjoying fresh fruit mixed with yogurt, granola and slivered almonds lately, so I’m planning to pick up a few small glass jars to prep the yogurt and fruit ahead of time so I can just grab and go in the morning and add granola once I get to work.
  • I’m in a bit of an oatmeal mood lately, so I’m going to do the same thing with oatmeal. Quick oats + brown sugar prepped in a jar. Add chia seeds, nut butter, and walnuts when I get to work.

Snacks:

  • Beef jerky
  • Mandarin oranges
  • Cashews
  • Cheese + crackers

Lunch and Dinner:

Monday:

  • Lunch: Leftover soup. (I got jammed up last week with meal planning, so I’m going to make the Tomato and Cannellini Bean soup for dinner on Sunday night.)
  • Dinner: Sauteed Kale + Eggs

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

  • Lunch: Work Lunch
  • Dinner: Shells and Cheese + Caesar Salad. Salivating just thinking of this dinner, guys!

Thursday:

  • Lunch: Leftover shells
  • Dinner: Tuna Melts + Sun Chips (why are those the best chips ever?!)

Friday (Work from Home):

  • Lunch: PB&J or quesadilla
  • Dinner: Homemade Chicken Wings + Carrots and Celery. (Keith LOVES chicken wings, so we are going to attempt to make them at home for the first time ever!)

Meal Plan, Week 51

December 16, 2019

beans and broccoli

I can’t believe this week officially kicks off the Christmas holidays. How is it possible? I still haven’t bought any Christmas presents! Not one. We have a short week this week as Keith and I are off to Arizona to celebrate Christmas and my niece’s college graduation, but I’m still meal planning out Monday – Wednesday. I’m in dire need of some nutrients amidst all of the eating out and holiday parties lately, so I got on my Safeway app and ordered some groceries to pick up on my way home from work. I feel like I’m fighting off a cold, so I’m going to increase the nutrition in my food and try to get lots of rest before we head off later this week.

Here’s this week’s plan:

Breakfast:

  • Leftover breakfast bake from brunch this weekend
  • Trusty boiled eggs 🙂

Snacks:

  • Cheese sticks & Salami (really digging this snack lately as I find it really satiating)
  • Crackers
  • Apples

Monday:

  • Lunch: I drove through Wendy’s this afternoon on the drive back to the office from my offsite training
  • Dinner: Keith’s fried chicken + rice + wedge salads

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

  • Lunch: Dinner leftovers
  •  Dinner: Red Beans & Rice with sausage

What about you? Are you in the midst of holiday cooking or still meal planning?
