This yr my husband and I decided to start planning meals and shopping accordingly. This is how I did it yeaarrrss ago, but over the past 7 or so yrs I've not been doing that. Life shifted for me from being a married SAHM to a divorced single working mom and then to a remarried working mom, sooo things changed a lot and with it meal planning went out the window. A lot of times it was just "Whatever we can grab"

So in January we decided to be much better. We still do pizza/take out Fridays, but otherwise, here's our list of meals:

Italian Wedding Soup
Chili (quite a few times as it's a favorite)
Orange Chicken w/ rice and veggies
Burgers and Fries
Pot Roast with Veggies
Chicken Gyros
Jambalaya
Pasta Fagioli
Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Salad
Chicken Alfredo with broccoli
Sloppy Joes, salad
Chicken Parmesan, pasta, salad
Must-Goes (what we call leftovers... we had this a few times! lol)
Zuppa Toscana
Shepherd's Pie
Tuna Casserole
Pork Chops w/ Roasted veggies
Panzella Salad w/ chicken
Roasted chicken, mashed cauliflower, veggies
Chicken Gnocchi Soup, Salad


Writing it all out like this, I see we should probably incorporate more veggies!

I have been wanting to make this! It looks delicious!
