Aaaaaaaaand we're back!
After a long break, I am back to thinking about what I'm going to cook for the week, especially as we head into summer. I'm hoping that I can begin to rebuild this community of meal plan sharers so that we can all help each other with ideas of what to cook. I have always loved it when you shared your meal plans or favorite recipes with me because it inspires me so much in my own cooking.
As I used to do in the past, I will share my meal plans for the week each Monday and then please feel free to share yours below. (Especially if it's a WW-friendly meal.) One thing to know about my meals is that I eat lots of salads and I love veggies, so my meals tend towards being almost vegetarian, especially in the summertime when produce is so abundant and amazing.
Also, I am a very busy working mom of three, but I always make time in my day for cooking. It's my meditation, my yoga, my creative outlet. Because I'm busy (like you!) I try to keep my meals simple, seasonal, organic (very important to me as far as feeding my kids is concerned), and fresh. Nothing I make during the week takes more than 20 minutes to prepare unless it's a set-it/forget-it situation like using the Crock-Pot or roasting a chicken. Let's use this outlet to get through the summer together, shall we?
Here's what I have on deck for the week!
Monday: Grilled chicken, pasta with homemade parsley pesto and green beans, salad
Tuesday: (Traveling this day so take-out)
Wednesday: Vegetarian multi-bean chili, rice, corn
Sistah Thursday: My sis comes over for dinner every Thursday and we usually cook together. We've been doing meal salads and so far have done Taco Salad, 7-Layer Salad, Thai Beef Salad. Would love suggestions with more meal salads!
Friday: Dinner Out
Sunday I am co-hosting a Tapas-themed baby shower. Thinking spicy meatballs, tortilla española, jamon serrano, manchego, olives and cava!
