[quote=Anonymous]I plan out meals once a week and by the ingredients I'm going to need online with Harris Teeter Express Lane. I do a big cookup on Sunday after I pick up my groceries and do some prep the night before throughout the week. On my meal plan I include the prep work I have to do that night to prepare for the next day.

Yesterday I baked 3 lbs of chicken thighs, made meatballs with red gravy, browned 1/2 lb. ground pork I had left over from the mealballs, boiled some spaghetti, and roasted a spaghetti squash (I do gluten free but my kids don't).

We'll have spaghetti and meatballs tonight. I'll take the browned pork out of the freezer to thaw it out for tomorrow and make some rice.

Tuesday we'll have the chicken, frozen stir fry veggies, and rice with terriyaki sauce. I'll assemble and cook lasagna roll-ups for Wednesday using the thawed out ground pork and the red gravy I made on Sunday.

Wednesday, reheat lasagna roll-ups. Cook a pork loin in the crock pot or pressure cooker.

Thursday is pork with mac and cheese with broccoli. I make a cheese sauce in my Vita mix. It takes 4 minutes. I thrown frozen broccoli in with the elbows the last couple of minutes of cooking.

Friday I use the left over pork for carnitas tacos by adding salsa to the pork and stuffing into hard taco shells. I shred some cabbage and carrots in my salad shooter for a salad and cut up some tomatoes and avocados.

DH and I will have the leftovers for lunch and pack them for DS in his lunch when he is a "bringer" at school.

Good luck. [/quote]
