Weekly Meal Plan {3/8}

By Courtney 12 Comments

Happy Sunday to you all! I’m excited to share this past week’s meal plan with you all because we had some seriously good food. Like, really good.

And we actually went a little heavier on the pasta this week, but honestly, that’s never really a bad thing is it? Okay, I guess that depends on where your priorities are but for us, pasta = heaven. So here’s a look at what we had.

Sunday: One Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes + some added Chicken Parmesan Meatballs with freshly grated Parmesan cheese

One Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes

Another Cooking Light recipe, for the win! This was awesome, and Lucas loved it, too.

Monday: Homemade Mac & Cheese courtesy of my mama + green beans.

Mom’s mac & cheese is always awesome, but she never really uses a recipe. Luckily, I’ve got a few favorites of my own I would totally recommend for ya though…

  • Apple ‘n’ Bacon Mac & Cheese
  • Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese
  • Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Mac & Cheese
  • Lighter Mac ‘n Cheese with Chicken & Tomatoes
  • Tomato ‘n’ Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

All of them listed above are absolute favorites of ours!

Oh, and as a side note, this is what happens every. single. time. I get up from my chair for two seconds.

Tuesday: You already saw this one, but Flank steak + roasted red potatoes + zoodles!

Wednesday: Jay was out snowboarding and I really didn’t feel like cooking so I’m pretty sure I had like, 2 bowls of cereal plus some other snacks while Lucas ate. Oh, how I would be in trouble if I were a single lady living on my own. I’d have zero desire to ever cook!

Thursday: Clear out the fridge/leftovers night (we had a TON between the pasta dishes and other stuff)

Friday: Lemon + Herb Tilapia (a Bumble Bee SuperFresh meal – we still love them!) + baked sweet potatoes and oven roasted cauliflower and carrots

The cauliflower and carrots came from my FarmBox Direct box and they were awesome.

Saturday: Out to dinner

So what’s on the menu for you guys this week? I still have a day or two where I need to figure out something to make!

    Haha it is so nice to hear that you wouldn't be coming up with all that epicness if you were living on your own! I am living on my own right now and cereal for dinner is a regular occurrence! :) I kindof love it!

    I made sweet potato, black bean, and lentil vegetarian chili last night for dinner and we all loved it! It was super hearty without even having meat, which is always a fun change!

    What is it about moms and never having recipes for our ultimate favorites? My mom makes an amazing chili and every fall/winter, I ask her to explain it to me and I swear it changes! The real mystery is how she got it to taste the same....

    I have chili cooking in the crockpot for the week right now. I love the idea of topping off a baked sweet potato with a hearty dollop of chili. Hope you have a great Sunday night!

    I tried the Bumblebee tilapia, too, and I agree the taste is very good, and they cook up very nicely. I still can't get past the fast that white fish leaves me hungry again in about 30 minutes!

    I'm loving your meal plans :) One question: do you usually finish what is on your plate or do you sometimes leave some behind? just curious :D Everything always looks so yummy!

      Hey Annie! Oh yes, I pretty much always finish what's shown. I'd say I typically go back for some sort of seconds maybe a third of the time? Glad to hear you're enjoying them! :)

        Cool :) I was just wondering since I know some food bloggers plate biggish portions to show they are eating "normally" but then eat only half of that amount! I should've known better though, you're not my favorite for nothing ha!
