Since last week’s meal planning did go as well as I wanted to, I decided I need to get serious about week 3 early. I sat down with my favourite recipes and made a list of everything I wanted to make before I head back to work in two weeks. It helped me get organized for this week; grocery shopping, cleaning out some food and making room for new food to freeze and eat later.
Meal Planning for Week #3
This is what Week 3 looks like:
Sunday: Russian Chicken.
Monday: Salmon, Baked Potatoes, Carrots, Pea’s. (Just prepared everything and will start firing up the stove in a little bit.
Tuesday: Mexican Baked Penne.
Wednesday: Chicken a-la-King with Basmati Brown Rice.
Thursday: All Things Red Soup (I’ll share this recipe soon).
Friday: Vegan Sheppard’s Pie (If my husband is home….if he is not…..we might just have this or left over’s).
Saturday: Curried Cauliflower with Chic Peas (vegan).
Meal Planning is part of my “Fall into Fitness 30 Day Challenge”. I’m hoping to get into the habit of meal planning so that when I return to work I’ve got my shit stuff together. If you missed the first two weeks of my attempt to meal plan…here you go: Meal Planning: Week #1 & Week #2

Cooking-Baking from scratch, never! I would happily do it if I knew how. If I see a recipe needs flour I get nervous. I have a love of baked goods and need to practice baking more.
Some recipes are crazy…I find a lot of vegan recipe’s have a million ingredients and that turns me off a lot.
I try to cook/bake from scratch as much as possible! However, we’re all busy so this doesn’t always happen…Mexican Baked Penne sounds amazing!
I figure if you can make some food from scratch and last minute meals you won’t stress yourself out too much.
Exactly!
Ever since I started the blog baking is something I’ve wanted to do more — I feel like I go in spurts with it though…
I seem to do the same thing with baking….it seems like a lot more work than making a meal from scratch but it’s not really.
I just downloaded Giada’s Feel Good Food healthy cookbook and having been working on those. They are great! I can’t believe you are cooking every single night? Nice work!
I’ll have to check out that cookbook!
Since i’m still on maternity leave and able to prep during the day (H’s nap time) I take full advantage of that. It’s all going to change in a few weeks…ahhhhhhh!!!!
Still, that’s great! I try to cook most nights, but I do get tired of pleasing my picky eaters. 🙂
I can agree with that! It would be nice to just have a meal magically appear…oh and the dishes magically done!
