About my meal planning: I slacked off most of the summer (being off school) and definitely during Ramadan. Now that we have a busy week ahead and school starting on the 6th, I've started up again with planning ahead. I started this by writing down what we normally ate on recipe cards (one dish per card) and trying to collect at least 30 dishes we all like to have for dinner. I even wrote down the easy peasy spaghetti and sauce b/c the method is that I go through my cards on a Thursday or Friday to plan the grocery list for the weekend for the upcoming week. (We do our grocery getting on the weekend since I try to avoid this errand with the kids as much as possible) Once you know the main dishes you're having for the week it's easy to buy accordingly and to better plan your free hours in the day.
Without further ado.... the PLAN for this week starting with today:
Sunday: Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters, Homemade French Fries, Big Green Salad
Monday: Homemade Hamburgers, More Homemade French Fries (can you tell I bought a big bag of potatoes and my husband asked for fries!!), Fresh Cut Veggies
Tuesday: Eid Day... we'll have brunch out. Main dish of pureed vegetable soup with homemade bread, cheeses, olives, veggies.
Wednesday: Crockpot Chicken with Rotel Sauce, Tomato Sauce, side of Rice and Salad
Thursday: Leftover Rotel Chicken
Friday: American Style Meatloaf, Broccoli w/ Cheese, Mashed Potatoes (wink, wink)
