Meal Planning

I have found that one of the best ways to eat at home and not always having to go out for supper is to plan the week's meals in advanced. That way you can brainstorm up some tasty recipes and it will also save you money at the grocery store because you know what you will need. So here is what is coming up this week!

Tonight - Ultra Easy Butternut Squash Soup
Tuesday - Greek Pork Skewers
Wednesday - Thin Crust BBQ Chicken Pizza
Thursday - Spaghetti with Fresh Tomato and Oregano
Friday - Spicy Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato French Fries

Always allow yourself some flexibility, if it is on the menu and you need something quicker just swap nights. Also you can cook extra portions and freeze them. I call those meals Freezer Surprise. You can get aluminum pans with lids from the grocery store. You can just toss them in the oven and supper is ready in an hour with no real prep time. They are especially great for lasagna, Shepherd's Pie or even the Butternut Squash Soup.

Enjoy!
