Happy Monday! Today, I’m sharing dinner plans for the week ahead. Actually, I’ll back it up a day to share what we had last night for dinner, just to give you a broader view of our meal plan.
Sunday - Ham + Bean Soup w/ Vegetables
Monday - Slow Cooker Mexi Chicken + Brown Rice
Tuesday - Chicken Sausage + Veggies + Potatoes
Wednesday - Lemon Caper Salmon + Pasta + Salad
Thursday - Egg Roll Bowls
Friday - Homemade Pizza + Salad
Whenever I make a dinner plan for the week, I do a couple of things. First, I check what we have in the fridge and pantry. Then, I check our schedule to see what I will have time to make each night. Our plans for each week lately have included a gymnastics night for our 4 year old, and basketball practices for our 10 year old. Some weeks we also meet up with our friends for life group, which some people call small group or Bible study group.
I also work one (4 hour) evening a week at our church which is why I mentioned “bringing dinner to work” in a previous post as a form of self care. There have been many times when I wouldn’t plan ahead for my work night, and I’d just grab fast food on my way in. I love that I get to work one night a week, now. For a couple years I was working two nights a week but now that my 4 year-old is in preschool, I can work remotely for some hours during the day, too!
During the winter months, every evening when we don’t have something planned has been spent playing board games with the family, or watching a movie. The forecast this week, however, looks promising that we may get more time outside! We’re all to the point of winter where we’re feeling a little cooped up.
Last night we went for a family walk and while it was chilly, the sunshine felt so nice. I plan on getting out on a walk as often as the weather allows this week!
