Summer is quickly coming to a close. This is the kids' last week of camp and the last week of a "regular" schedule until school starts. Here's what I have planned for dinner this week:
Monday - Flank Steak, Baked Potatoes, Caprese Salad
Tuesday - Pasta Carbonara - the Pioneer Woman's Recipe, Salad
Wednesday - Salmon - maybe kabobs with a veggie on the grill, and Couscous
Thursday - Chicken Cutlets, not sure what we are having with them
Friday - Boys Night at the Monster Trucks
Saturday & Sunday - TBD
In the next few weeks, I'm going to try and plan out September's menu. Do you find it easier to plan a month or a week at a time? Real Simple magazine typically has a Family themed issue in time for back-to-school, and it is usually filled with great meal planning ideas.
I've started a Meal Prep and Planning Pinterest Board, and would love your suggestions for planning resources. Leave me a comment and be sure to check out my link up over at I'm An Organized Junkie, for more ideas and inspiration - or to link up your own meal plan!
catch you soon -
I only plan 1 week at a time. Planning a month at a time overwhelms me. I find when I try to plan a month at a time I get a bit overambitious with the meals I put on the plan. A week at a time forces me to focus on our schedule and keep things simple. I know a month at time works for quite a few people though.
