August is by far the best month in the year. I’m a Leo, so I would know.
I did my prep work late Saturday night for this week, I know super exciting Saturday huh? To be honest, I don’t mind doing my prep on Saturday night because that means I have all day Sunday to relax and do fun things. I’m much more of a day person anyway, if I weren’t making meatballs and rice last night I probably would have been watching trashy reality TV and eating potato chips, just being real with you.
SO lets take a look at the meal plan, shall we?
Tuesday- I am going to grill some chicken from MarWin Farm and some local organic zucchini. I have some ciabatta rolls in the freezer for some starch that I will thaw for Ryan but I am going to have some cauliflower instead. I’m experimenting to see how I do without a ton of refined carbs. I have a tendancy to fill about half my plate with starchy carbs, half with veggies, and add a smidgen of meat as an afterthought. So this week I’m going to test it out and see how I do without the bread… It will be a challenge for sure.
Wednesday- we are having an old favorite from our college days when we were even more broke than we are now, fried rice!
Thursday- I’m trying to reinstate breakfast for dinner night once a week. Ryan got a little bit sick of breakfast for dinner about a month ago so I haven’t been making it, but I’m bringing it back! Why? It’s cheap, easy, and delicious. So why not really?
Friday- we usually wing it but I figured I would have some meatballs frozen and ready on standby so we could eat those if we don’t feel like going out. If you are wondering why these breadcrumbs are free check out . So easy and literally free, why not?
I did some dinner prep work after Ryan was in bed on Saturday night (he works weekends now). I formed the burger patties for Monday, made rice for Wednesday’s dinner, roasted zucchini for my lunches, and made the meatballs for Friday. This just sets me up for a smooth week.
