Would you believe I went grocery shopping last week with no meal plan set in stone? Yep. I was living on the wild side. My weekly grocery day falls mid-week. I knew of the basic items that I needed for the coming week, but was at a loss of what meals to plan. Only tonight did I write-up our meal plan. It's going to be a scrumptious week, meal-wise. My tummy is excited!! Ha.
This week on the meal plan, we have:
- Slow Cooker Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken w/ Rice,
- Chicken and Spinach Pasta,
- Taco Pasta Bake, and...
- Beef Tacos (my daughter's weekly meal plan staple).
As an aside, I discovered a really cool website last week called My Fridge Food. The website allows you to input ingredients that you have in your pantry and fridge. From there it searches and provides you with recipe options based on the ingredients you have kicking around. This site is perfect for those times when you want to use up stuff in your pantry and / or when you're just are unsure of what options you have for dinner. Neat, huh!? The foodie in me is ecstatic about this find.
What are some of your favorite simplistic recipes?
