We didn’t get as many menus as usual last week…I think it must be because you were so busy being excited for Tom Brady, right? (Sorry, Seahawks fans! That was a GOOD game though, you’ve gotta admit!) Anyway, there is no football to distract us this weekend, so back to work! Can’t wait to see your meal plans for the week. Thank you for sharing!

I only have one thing to say before we get to the meal plan…GO PATS! TOM BRADY 4EVAH! Oh, wait. I have two things to say. Super Bowl is the new Thanksgiving. We have family coming to town and tons of recipes to make. The only (okay, not only) difference? It’s rude NOT to watch TV while you eat!

Here’s this week’s plan!

MONDAY:
– Sausage Hoagies

TUESDAY:
– Kai Pa Lo (Thai chicken stew – trying a recipe in the Penzey’s catalog)
– Rice and spring rolls

WEDNESDAY:

You know the drill…please share your menu for the week! I seriously love reading your meal plans each week as I plan my own!

Happy New Year! We are home from the east coast and are gearing up for getting back into the groove of real life. Given that it’s January, I’m sure some of you are making new year’s resolutions! Which means it’s time for me to make my annual plug for meal planning! Whether you’ve never planned menus before or just want to be more consistent, meal planning is a great, actionable goal that is quite easy to implement, especially if you decided to post your menu here each week to stay accountable. See? It’s totally the best resolution around. 😉

So, here’s my first menu for 2015! We are starting the week with Grammy’s Orange Chicken. We are really missing her this week and I think orange chicken pretty much has to happen.
