Weekly Meal Plan {2/7}

By Courtney 18 Comments

I’m going to be totally honest with you all…I’m kinda shocked that I’m still going strong with these weekly meal plans.

Given my track record, I’ve never been super great at sticking with the meal planning thing; it’s typically come and gone in waves. But I’ll tell ya, things are really going well the past few weeks, and it’s pretty surprising just how much easier it makes our weeks! Less stress, less running around, easier/quicker grocery shopping…dare I say, I think I’m becoming a new woman?!

But anywho…here’s a look at what we had last week. Maybe you’ll find some inspiration for the week ahead!

Sunday: We snacked on some Superbowl appetizers but, honestly, I can’t even remember what they all were at this point.

Monday: Crispy Brown Butter Gnocchi w/ Meyer Lemon and Brussels Sprouts

Crispy Brown Butter Gnocchi

This was our final Blue Apron meal from last week (recipe HERE) and it was so good. Definitely one I’d attempt to create on my own!

Tuesday: Crockpot Shredded Beef Enchiladas with brussels sprouts

Shredded Beef Enchiladas

The enchiladas were good, and super convenient to be able to pull from the freezer (took them out to thaw 24 hours ahead) but we definitely agreed that they tasted better when we made them fresh the first time.

Wednesday: Leftover Italian Style Tomato and Meatball Soup with a fresh loaf of Cheesy Italian Quick Bread

Italian Style Tomato and Meatball Soup

That soup + bread combo is a HUGE winner in our house!

Thursday: Grilled chicken and avocado salads with more Cheesy Italian Quick Bread

We actually waited to eat that meal until Lucas was in bed so it was enjoyed back at our old favorite spot…the coffee table. Winking smile

Friday: Takeout from DeFazio’s! We ordered a big house salad and their Chicken and Red Roasted Peppers Pizza with some added sautéed spinach. Oh. My. God. so good.

(and that’s definitely a scene that’s taken place in our house before!)

Saturday: We were *this close* to getting lazy and ordering more takeout, but we decided to use some of what we had and ended up making out awesome with some side salads and a batch of Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Spinach Quesadillas.

I almost forgot about just how good those things are!

Alright, let’s hear it…what do you guys have on the menu for the week ahead? Anything exciting??

    Your meal planning is so inspiring! I used to love doing that but now I'm waitressing at a French restaurant and they give me lovely French food for free, which I'm not going to say no to as a student! I definitely love planning out meals though :) those crispy gnocchi look absolutely amazing! When is Italian food ever not good? :)

    This all looks so good! This week I'm making paleo lasagne, non-paleo risotto, gluten free pizza and shepherd's pie - all about the treat foods now I'm finished my Whole 30!

    Meal planning makes such a difference during the week! Meals come together so much faster. I am always glad when I take some time to set it up even if it's just for dinners.

    Those brown butter gnocchi!! All your meals looked fantastic this week. I've failed miserably to plan ahead for this week but I might do some planning tonight. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    That gnocci looks so good! I'm like you. I find that when I have a plan it's easier and more motivating to get dinner on the table. If I'm trying to decide what to make it just seems like a much bigger task.

    So totally random... but I have to tell you this. I had a dream last night that you changed your blog design/format and it was awful. I am so relieved to visit your site today and see that it is still looking good! ;) haha

    We just bought a grill so I'm hoping a lot more healthy lean meat is in my future! :)

    Yummy eats! I actually had that gnocchi dish in a previous Blue Apron order and LOVED it - the toasted gnocchi really made the meal! I'm dying to make this vodka sausage pasta (homemade sauce) from Mix and Match Mama this week -->http://mixandmatchmama.blogspot.com/2014/09/dinner-tonight-sausage-vodka-pasta.html p.s. I am loving these Sunday posts so I am selfishly hoping you keep up with your meal planning too - it has even helped me be more organized too! :)

    That gnocchi looks so delicious! I'm with you that enchiladas taste better when they are fresh. I made a bunch when I was pregnant to eat after the baby was born and they came out a bit soggy when we heated them up. Still yum though!

    Ever since you posted about those quesadillas year(s?) ago, they've been my go-to, quick and simple meal. So delicious!
