The one thing that gets me WAY off track each week is when I fail to meal plan. In an effort to get “back to school” and into the Olympic spirit I opted to kill two birds with one stone and meal plan using some Olympic-themed ideas.
The very first thing I do is check my calendar. That determines what I will make and on what night. So here goes for the week!
———————————————
Sunday – One Pot Brazilian Chicken & Rice (I can’t wait to try this!)
*We are eating then heading to the State Fair with the family.
Monday – Black Bean Burgers (from the freezer) and Curly Sweet Potato Fries (made using my new Paderno Spiralizer!)
*Quick easy dinner, it’s Scout night.
Tuesday – Black Bean Soup (but if you want Brazilian Style Black Bean Soup this is a winner!)
Wednesday – Pasta with Sausage and Red Peppers
Thursday – I’m heading out of town for a much needed girls trip, so the kids will have grandmother and dad to feed them!
