When I sat down with the calendar on Sunday to create a meal plan for the week, I realized that this is a very busy week: soccer, music, play rehearsals and performances. Still, we need to get dinner on the table every night, busy or not. Here is what I came up with for the week, which is built around a single theme: EASY
Monday: Rotisserie chicken (Costco), roasted vegetables (peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweet potatoes), Harvest Grain Blend (Trader Joe’s)
Tuesday: Crockpot chicken tacos, rice, beans, corn
Wednesday: Tri tip, baked potatoes, green beans
Thursday: Chicken Tortilla Soup (from the leftover taco chicken) , quesadillas
Friday: Stirfry (flank steak, veggies, and rice)
I love that crockpot chicken taco recipe–mostly because it makes absolutely delicious chicken tortilla soup later in the week. Total win in my book. I also bought the rotisserie chicken on Sunday and will just reheat it on Monday.
I also spent a bit of time in the kitchen on Sunday and made up a batch of chai concentrate, hard boiled eggs, and chocolate chip cookies. That should give us a good headstart on the week. I’d like to experiment with a big Meal Prep Sunday, but so far I’m a bit intimidated. I just discovered a YouTube channel called Mind Over Munch, and she does a big meal prep. I need to do a little more research.
What are you cooking this week?
Eating well is much more important that all the other things that you have mentioned. It’s one of the secret of my powers or let’s say magic. 🙂
Anyway your meal plan is OK but I hope that the chickens used in the cooking were from places that treat them well. Also I’ve recently finished a book about food, cooking and human society for which I had to do a lot of researches. Apparently up to 85% of foods sold in the USA are genetically modified without the consumers knowing it because the USA Government under the influence of the FDA doesn’t require GM to be printed on the labels. Is it right?
