I’ve been doing a really good job the last few weeks of following my weekly menu to a “t,” which means every Sunday I sit down and have to come up with a completely new menu. No stealing from the week before! I know this is a good thing, but it feels lame. Stop being so responsible, Self. Anyway, I am so grateful for your menus every week to help come up with new ideas!

MONDAY:

– Chili (with ground turkey, cutting down on beef!)

TUESDAY:

– Pasta and Broccoli with Simple Cream Sauce

WEDNESDAY:

– Island Pork with Sticky Coconut Rice (going to re-vamp this recipe to really reduce the amount of sugar, I’ll keep you posted on any changes!)
– Salad

THURSDAY:

– Leftovers

FRIDAY:

– Vegetable Quiche (going to try a GF crust)

SATURDAY:

– Eat out night

SUNDAY:

– St Patrick’s Day! We’ll either cook something Irish (corned beef?) or eat a super green meal, plans TBD!

Can’t wait to see all your menus! Seriously, they are so helpful each week when I sit down to plan. Thank you for sharing and have a great week!
