Meal Plan Monday

It might something a bit nerdy, but I do it each and every week. I meal plan. Usually after I get my vegetables for the week, I make a list of meals. When first we first moved to Utah, I was able to attend a wonderful farmer's market but with the freezing temperatures that ended. In order to get the most local fruit and vegetables possible, I get a Bountiful Basket every other Saturday. Not every all the fruits and veggies are from the United States, a lot are from Mexico but it keeps fresh produce in our fridge until it is growing season here again.

What I got in my basket this week:
Strawberries
Blackberries
Apples
Bananas
Cantelope
Green leaf lettuce
Roma tomatoes
Green beans
Green Cauliflower
Asparagus
Pineapple (Not pictured cause we ate it)

I came across Organizing Junkie after making my meal plan for the week. Here is my participation in Meal Plan Monday this week.




Here is our meal Plan for the week:
Meatless Monday: Mac and cheese with a side of fruit
Tuesday: General Tso's Chicken, rice and broccoli
Wednesday: Meatball sandwiches on sourdough, side salad
Thursday: The classic American Irish meal: Corn beef and green cauliflower
Friday: Out to eat
Saturday: Pulled pork, cheddar biscuits and green beans
Sunday: Carne Asada with refried beans and guacamole with tomatoes

Maybe not in that order, we like to live on the edge. Something like that.
I have big plans for the berries and bananas that I will share once they are done.
