cameodolli's ramblings

So, I know that it's already Wednesday, but I want to share my meal plan for the week. ProjectGirl has an awesome site if you love organization and/or scrapbooking. There I found Free Printable Meal Planners and they are helping so so much. One side for meals and the other for the groceries needed to make them. It's seriously genius. I'd love to post pictures of the upcoming foodstuffs if anyone's interested!

Meal Plan for September 14-20
Monday
Spaghetti & garlic cheese drop biscuits (I tweaked this recipe)

Tuesday
Broiled pork chops w/ spice rub
Oven roasted corn-on-the-cob
Spinach

Wednesday
Soft tacos were on the menu but I had a flatout pizza (bbq sauce, chicken & red onion) and Pookie had Whataburger

Thursday
Breakfast for Dinner
Smoked sausage and scrambled eggs

Friday
Hungry Girl's Exploding Chicken Taquitos with cheese sauce

Saturday
Pookie Helps Cook!
Meatless Manicotti

Sunday
Meatloaf, green beans & cornbread


I think that this meal planning thing will help alleviate some of the stress I deal with in trying to make both Pookie and myself happy come dinnertime. In the past I've said that he's picky, but that's really not true. There are tons of things he likes to eat but his favorites are completely different than my favorites. For instance I love chicken, colorful vegetables and noodles. He prefers red meat, rice and starchy vegetables. I like chinese and italian; he prefers mexican and cajun. If we have a plan that serves each of our favorites equally then maybe we won't complain as much.
