Welcome! For those of you who are new to Meal Planning, go to my “Meal Planning” tab here to help you out while you are getting started – lots of great resources.
I was quite lazy and unmotivated this week in the area of cooking. We ended up eating out a few extra nights because of it! So, you will be seeing some repeats from last weeks meal plan, because we didn’t eat them.
What about you, what is on your meal plan this week??

Your meal plan looks great! Especially the garden pasta, I make something similar to that a lot, and it’s delicious. You should check out springpad’s weekly meal planner, it’s a great way to organize all of your menus and recipes (like this one, yum! http://bit.ly/3D6top) and I think you’d really like it.
