Meal Plan: 9/1 through 9/7

This week I thought I’d do something a little bit different when it comes to planning meals.   Rather than meticulously plan out each meal for each day, I’m planning meals for the week.   I spent most of this afternoon prepping the meals and setting them up in individual, labeled bags to make cooking throughout this week easier. That also enables me to make a quick change of plans if we’re in the mood for something else, or if my day at work was harder and longer than expected.   Check out more menus here.
