My goal with weekly meal plans is to help give you guys a week of recipes with the shopping lists to go with it. I want to give you ideas for meals that even if you don't go with my specific recipe, you know a recipe you can use.

Example - if I say fajitas, you don't necessarily have to use my recipe, but you have an idea for dinner. 

Use this as a guide. 

One of the comments I get most, is that people cannot believe I cook every night. Let me set the record straight - I cook Sunday - Wednesday and then usually 1 weekend meal. But with that being said, I meal plan every single Saturday, with grocery delivery and/or pickup on Sunday. 

I realized, as a working mom, that if I don't do this before Monday, it'll never get done and then we'll be scrambling every night of the week. The best part about meal planning, I have food and meal ideas for the week. If on Monday, I decide to cook Tuesday's meal, then great! At least I know I have all the ingredients ready for whatever meal I've planned for. 

Keep in mind, because I'm home on Sunday, I usually pick a "bigger" meal for Sundays. Aka - meals with more prep, because I have the time. My weekday meals are usually a little simpler. 

Here's your meal plan and shopping list for the week. 

• Sunday: Home made chicken noodle soup with cheese bread
• Monday: Beef tostadas (the recipe I'm using calls for chicken, but I wanted beef)
• Tuesday: Strozzapreti with Spinach and Preserved Lemon (pasta! sounds fancier than it is!)
• Wednesday: Chicken Quesadillas (recipe below!)
• Thursday: Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai
• Friday: Treat yourself, it's time to order out! Friday is our pizza nights! 
• Saturday: BLTs - try them with some chipotle mayo, so delish!
