Simplify!!!

So I always thought I needed to make these elaborate meals to feed my family! It's not true! I love recipes that are SIMPLE and have very few ingredients. I like meals you can roll together like today's meatloaf is tomorrow's chili. Today's Grilled Chicken is tomorrows Fajitas. ETC. SO here is an outline for how to plan your menus.
Monday-meatless
Tuesday-Mexican
Wednesday-Italian
Thursday-crock-pot
Friday- Deli Style (soup, salad, sandwiches etc.)
Saturday-Pizza
Sunday- Sunday Dinners.

With a plan of the kinds of food you will be serving you just have to pick something from that category and go! Here is another option

Monday-Vegetarian
Tuesday-Chicken
Wednesday-Beans
Thursday-Pork
Friday-Beef
Saturday-Freezer Meal
Sunday-Soup/Salad Bar

SIMPLIFY!!!

I love make ahead meals. If you are already cooking/ assembling just make a few more and you have dinner in the freezer waiting!!! YA!!!

Not every meal needs to be fancy. Simplify! Main course, side, and veggies and/or Fruit.

Here is an example using the first list of options:

Monday-Grilled Cheese, Tomato Soup and Orange slices
Tuesday- Beef Quesadillas with Green beans
Wednesday-Stuffed Shells with green salad
Thursday- Minestrone Soup, Bread sticks and Apple Slices
Friday-Chicken Pesto Paninnis with baked sweet potato fries
Saturday-Pizza and green salad
Sunday-Chicken Pillows and Steamed Broccoli.

SIMPLE!!! (Yes I will add those Recipes to the blog....)

Get your favorite Recipes in order of category and then just go down the list when planning your menus. Hope this helps!!!
