Every Workerette knows how important it is to plan ahead and try to streamline things like grocery shopping, meal preparation, and kitchen storage in order to (hopefully!) add a few more minutes to the day. Hopefully with Menu Plan Monday you'll be able to get some ideas for things to put on your own future menus - or maybe you'll become inspired to streamline things around your own house with menu plans. Remember, this isn't just for work-at-home moms like me! You can be single with no kids, retired with your spouse, or working nights with both your kids and your parents to care for - planning ahead for your personal situation with a little bit of wiggle room for longer than expected shifts, school events, and business travel still puts you ahead of the game!
Here's what will be cooking in my kitchen this week:
- Monday: Sandwiches & Salad
- Tuesday: Minestrone
- Wednesday: Minestrone leftovers
- Thursday: Baked Ziti
- Friday: Taco Chili (my usual three-bean chili recipe with beef substituted for the turkey, and a can of enchilada sauce instead of regular chili powder & tomato sauce)
- Saturday: Baked Ziti leftovers
- Sunday: Chili leftovers
