I typically like to meal plan and grocery shop on the weekend, but this weekend was the first time in a LONG time that we were able to slow down and enjoy time together as a family. We kicked the weekend off with a nasty stomach bug for the little, but she rallied through it like a champ. In true Texas springtime tradition, we hauled her out to take some pics in bluebonnets (didn't haul her very far...the park near our house had a small patch that mama and daddy deemed sufficient for the first go 'round!), and followed it up with some family time at one of our neighborhood favorites, Onion Creek. Sunday started bright and early with an "al fresco" service at church that C LOVED. It was the greatest combination of three of her favorites--singing, being outside, and smiling at people. She was such a delight all weekend, even despite her little tummy bug!!
Anywho, I let family take the number one spot all weekend, so now it's time to get down to business! I'm going to do my best to share our weekly meal plans on Mondays and will share recipes throughout the week of meals we particularly like. If something pops up on the meal plan that you think sounds good and you want the deets, just drop a comment below and I'll work it in to a post soon!!
You'll notice the meals below may not all sounds the healthiest, but with certain subs and portions in mind, they are all completely realistic. Even looking at this through the lens of the 21 Day Fix, I know I could make this match my containers : )
Monday Meal Plan: April 21
Monday: Freebirds and Shiner Bock (it's Aggie Muster today, so I want to conjure up some good college memories! Plus grocery shopping after bedtime means mama needs some help with dinner tonight.). I typically stick to a burrito bowl and keep the choices *moderately* healthy : )
Tuesday: Girls' dinner! (two nights out in a row?? Who am I???)
Wednesday: Chicken Stir Fry (bought the ingredients for this last week, but never got around to making it...life got in the way!)
Thursday: Summer Chicken Tostadas
**will definitely blog this healthy spin on tostadas!! So super easy and SOOO yummy!
Friday: Chicken Taco Bowls (using leftovers from Thursday)
Saturday: Spicy Chicken Thighs served with green bean and potato salad
Sunday: BBQ chicken pizza (using leftover chicken from last night) and salad
**Will add pics to the post later! Off to the store!!
