Meal Planning 2016 - Week 38

Happy Monday Meal Planners! You are a meal planner - aren't you? If not, why not? While I admit that planning meals each week is not my favorite thing to do, it does save me both time and money.

Each Sunday, I set aside some time to plan out our dinner menus for the week. I do this before we hit the store on Sunday, and base much of it off of things we already have on-hand. This week I had to take three evening meetings into account during my planning as well. Busier nights call for meals that require less prep and are easier. While it's a drag on Sundays, throughout the week, I'm always grateful for that time and effort because my weeknights go easier.

Here's what we have planned for this week:

Monday - Sausage, Sweet Potato and Kale Soup, Bread and Salad
Tuesday - Mini Meatloaves, Broccoli
Wednesday - Oven Roasted Shrimp with Pasta
Thursday - It's Back to School Night at the High School, so Quick Dinner it is (maybe Pancakes)
Friday - Homemade Pizza Night
Saturday - Leftover Buffet/YOYO (You're On Your Own)
Sunday - Family Dinner out
