The Weekly Meal Plan

As most mothers of young children know, it is very important to be organized. While most aspects of my life are in complete disarray, when it comes to food, the earth is spinning properly on its axis.

After realizing what a complete and utter gong show grocery shopping with an infant is, I resumed my weekly meal planning and now order my groceries online and have my husband pick them up. It is a heartwarming sight, to see my husband come home on a Thursday evening, arms laden with groceries, and knowing that I didn't have to haul a screaming baby around the grocery store for 45 minutes to accomplish this.

Now that I have bragged about how utterly organized I am in the food department, I will confess that this week I slipped up, thus necessitating a trip to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon to pick up enough groceries for this weeks meal plan.

And what is on the meal plan you ask? Well here it is:
Sunday: Thai-Curry Seafood Stew
Monday: Meatloaf, Coleslaw and Smashed Potatoes
Tuesday: Panko Parmesan Pork chops and Polenta (an alliterative meal if I have ever seen one!)
Wednesday: Shells and Cheese
Thursday: Curried Chicken in a Cardamon Infused Coconut milk.

As you can see my meal plan usually runs from Friday to the following Thursday to coincide with the grocery ordering, and I rarely plan weekend meals in advance.

I'll be back later to post pictures and recipes for this weeks meals.

Happy Eating!
