Meal Plan Monday 6/11

So, it's Monday and that means it's time to list this weeks meal plan! I'm trying something a little different this week,using a meal plan I found at 100 Days of Real Food. It lists food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack, has a grocery list, and links to the different recipes. There are several things that are supposed to be made over the weekend so that they are available throughout the week, and so this plan actually starts on Sunday.

Sunday

Breakfast: Whole wheat banana pancakes with a side of cantaloupe

Lunch: Grilled cheese sandwich with half a peach and half a banana

Snack: Zucchini muffin

Dinner: Pork carnitas tacos with a side of watermelon

Monday

Breakfast: Granola cereal with sliced peaches

Lunch: Caprese penne pasta salad

Snack: Watermelon

Dinner: Quesadillas with leftover taco meat

Tuesday

Breakfast: Peanut butter banana smoothies with toast and cantaloupe

Lunch: Zucchini muffins with cream cheese, grapes, and watermelon

Snack: Handful of granola

Dinner: Grilled sandwiches with roasted veggies, monterey jack cheese, and pesto, with a side of fries.

The things I was supposed to make over the weekend were banana pancakes, corn tortillas, granola, caprese penne pasta salad, and zucchini muffins. I went to make the pancakes and muffins only to discover that I only had enough milk for cereal the next morning. We have milk delivered on Mondays from a local dairy, so once it arrives I will get on those. I'm going to freeze the leftover pancakes so that they can be thrown in the toaster on other pancake mornings. I put the granola in a large tupperware and stored it in the fridge. It would probably store well in the pantry, but I wanted to be safe. So, I spent a decent amount of time in the kitchen on Sunday, but it should make the rest of the week a lot easier. My hope is that with all the meals planned out and mostly premade I will be less tempted to go to the drive-thru while running errands.

We'll see how it goes!
