Menu Planning!

Alright my friends I am back to planning menus in bulk quantities because I hate the 4pm "what's for dinner oh we don't have the ingredients" time of day. And I spend way to much on random shit at the grocery store if I don't plan and we eat way to many carb heavy dinners because it is fast and easy. So on to the plan. I wasn't going to share, mostly out of the thought that no one would care what I am eating but I had a friend ask for me to message the plan to her and my camera couldn't take a clear picture and she couldn't read my quick writing scrawl so here we are!

Some of these are quick and easy  to fit nights we have activities or I am cranky and don't want to cook and some are hearty wintery meals and some are just because it was a new recipe I found on pinterest this morning.

I planned 26 meals but some will make enough for leftovers so this should easily feed us a month or more without me having to put more thought into it. Yay!

All of my meals will use meat and dairy free subs but I am using the meat names for convenience

• Panera Copycat Chicken and Rice
• Chili fries
• Spaghetti and shirataki noodles
• Rosemary and Red Wine Beef with gratin vegetables served with green beans
• Rice noodle Peanut Butter sauce stirfry with Beef and Broccoli

While I was typing this up I thought of a couple more, Boca chicken Parmesan, Reuben Sandwiches or a reuben casserole and fries with lots of pickles, tofu egg salad served over spring mix and a silken tofu "egg" frittata loaded with veggies served with the cooked winter fruit compote I made back at Christmas

So there you have it friends. Many of these recipes I found on Pinterest and adapted to fit my food needs with my food sensitivities. Bon Appetite!
