menu plan monday
I’m at it again. It’s been a challenging six weeks for us, to say the least… Mike’s appendectomy, my shingles, vertigo… and we’ve spent those six weeks hanging on, so there hasn’t been any meal planning other than ‘geez, what should we eat?’ I think it’s time to get things in order.
We’re starting to work on eating a bit healthier, on utilizing the fresh fruits and veggies from the stand near the house, so I’m going to try to stop by the stand every day or so and pick up enough for a couple of days so that we’re sure to be eating the freshest ingredients possible. 
Last night, we had grilled chicken pasta salad, an all-time favorite of Mike and me. He and the kids will have it again tonight while I’m at my cake decorating class. Grilled chicken, crazy colored veggie pasta and loads of fresh grilled veggies.
Tuesday - summer rolls (recipe from this month’s “Everyday Food”)
Wednesday - pork chops with lemon couscous
Thursday - Griff’s birthday… He’s requested to go to Smokey Bones, so we’ll be eating some BBQ.
Friday - grilled margarita pizzas … fresh Roma tomatoes, mozza, and basil
With the grilled chicken from Sunday, I’ll make a fresh chicken salad for Mike and the kids to make chicken wraps for lunch this week. I’m thinking of challenging the kids to see who can eat the most fruits and veggies per day to increase our daily intake (which is currently hovering in the pitiful range). I just need to determine a good reward for the winner.
