Hi everyone! So, this is a “keeping it real” menu post, i.e. my menu is almost identical to my last one. The last week was kind of rough and I didn’t get much cooking done, which I hate, so I’m committing to making this week better! Here’s to actually making dinner! 😉
MONDAY:
– Chicken Tortilla Soup
TUESDAY:
– Chicken Caesar Salad
WEDNESDAY:
– Fried Rice (I haven’t quite perfected it so giving it another go!)
– Potstickers
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Easy Peasy Bean Tacos
– Guacamole and chips
SATURDAY:
– Take out night
SUNDAY:
– Waffles and Home Fries
– Fresh fruit
Since I’m not especially original this week, we definitely want to see your menus! Please share your meal plan for the week, no matter how simple or fancy!
