Hard to believe it's Monday already but here we are fellow meal planners! So we are one month into the new year - how are you doing with your meal planning so far? Are you struggling? Are you sailing through? Let me know. Also, if you have a specific thing you're struggling with, let's try to work on it together!
For me, I am still not getting any input from my family. It gets frustrating sometimes, having to be the solo person planning meals for three others and anticipating what they'll like. As you can imagine, I don't always hit a home run, even though I'm trying, and that can be annoying to say the least. But I figure it they were that unhappy, they would contribute - right?
So that is my current meal plan struggle - trying to get input on ideas from my family. After I planned out this week, I realized it's all easy food this week - though that wasn't my intention. We are trying one new recipe, the Instant Pot Minestrone. I will most likely have to have chicken soup for the kiddos, neither are big bean fans.
I have a big work load this week, so I went easy on my prep this week. Here's what we have planned:
Monday - Chicken Quesadillas with Guacamole
Tuesday - Instant Pot Minestrone, Crusty Bread and Salad
Wednesday - BBQ Beef Brisket Sliders with Coleslaw
Thursday - Homemade Chicken Finders (for wraps and salads for the grown-ups)
Friday - Pizza Night
Saturday - YOYO (You're On Your Own)
Sunday -Super Bowl Sunday
