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!
That said, here's what's on our plan for this week - quite a busy week, actually!
- Monday: Lasagna
- Tuesday: Lasagna LO's
- Wednesday: Tuna Melts (these are working out really well for ballet nights!)
- Thursday: Chili
- Friday: Chili LO's
- Saturday: BBQ (hot dogs, beans, pasta salad)
- Sunday: 15-Bean Soup (This is a new one for me, from bagged beans in my pantry. Wish me luck!)
Don't forget to head on over to OrgJunkie or check out my archives for more weekly menu plan ideas!
Bean Soup is yummy and forgiving - a great place to use leftovers or less than prime produce.
Have a blessed week!
