Meal Plan Monday - Week 1 of 13

Week 1 of my highly-experimental 13-week meal plan was a huge success. I'm finally feeling like I'm back in the groove of cooking and enjoying the routine of having healthy meals at home. It really helped to have everything printed out and on the fridge so I didn't have to waste time figuring out what to make. Jim and the Sprouts liked all the meals, so I won't be changing a thing!

For the first time, I'm giving each day a theme to see if that streamlines the cooking process. So far, my only thought is that pasta once a week is a lot for us, but I'm not making any changes yet.

Monday (quick & easy - it's T-ball night!)
Tuesday (soup & salad)
Wednesday (grain/bean dish or new recipe night)
Thursday (salad or veggie plate)
Friday (pasta)
Saturday (leftovers or dinner out)
Sunday (family favorites)

So here it is . . . Meal Plan - Week 1
