I'm working on ours right now. Need to see what's on sale at the supermarket to see if that helps give me any inspiration, because right now I don't have any.

I like this recipe for chicken thighs - One Pot Chicken, Rice, and Vegetables. I use boneless chicken thighs, and brown rice - I add a little more chicken broth because brown rice needs to cook a little longer. However, this makes the chicken thighs shred when you stir things to keep them from sticking and with the brown rice it actually makes a nice little sauce, so it's like a bowl meal instead of what the picture on the website looks like. (I may be doing it wrong, but it tastes good so I don't care lol.)

OK after a decent nap I finally finished (ps bradysalon, I totally borrowed one of your ideas!):

Monday - dinner out (we do pub trivia and eat there, I will try to be healthy)
Tuesday - Pasta (H cooking, yay!)
Wednesday - leftovers
Thursday - Salmon, mashed potatoes, & green beans
Friday - Grilled cheese and soup
Saturday - pork loin with stuffing and peas
Sunday - slow cooker pulled chicken and corn on the cob

Going to use the weekend leftovers for lunches a few days next week, too.

Tuesday--black bean and sweet potato tacos
Wednesday--chicken and broccoli stir fry
Thursday--Indian red lentils and cabbage with rice and raita
Friday--home made pizza

We are traveling so this week is light:

Monday: burritos
Tuesday: leftovers; clean out the damn fridge!!
Wed-Sunday: travel/eat a ton back home! Haha

You guys are my heroes. I have wanted to meal plan for years and have never been successful. I waste too many groceries letting half of something go bad (head of lettuce and half an onion this week) because I don't plan ahead. I'm going to make this my very belated New Years resolution.

tez I have to meal plan or we would eat chick fil a and pizza every day. Between both DH and I's schedules and having a toddler- meal planning is a must.
