Hey guys!
I try to go to the grocery store once a week to stock up. It's a lot more time efficient than running in for one or two forgotten things every day, especially when I'm getting ready to start work next week!
I always plan meals and write out a list that follows the path I take through the store. Hubby makes fun of me, but I get frazzled having to double back for every other thing and I like to be organized when I go in. I think that it saves both time and money. Plus then you know you'll get what you need, cut down on wasted food, and (hopefully) avoid picking up random junk food or overbuying because you're feeling hungry and impulsive.
Since school is starting here next week, I made sure that my plan included things to make healthy, out the door breakfasts and lunches. Typically during the school year, I take a little time on Sunday afternoon to prep lunches. I'm expanding this to include pre-made breakfasts because I am going to be substitute teaching for the time being and that means my schedule won't be as predictable as usual. After I do my meal prep on Sunday I will post about what I'm doing for the week.
Dinner plans for the week are mashed potato casserole, bean and vegetable soup, zucchini Parmesan, pepper and zucchini enchiladas, tortilla casserole, cauliflower Italiano, and tuna noodle casserole. I've had a hard time planning dinners with the super unpredictable weather here. When I plan for salads, its freezing, and when I buy ingredients for soup it's boiling! I'm hoping these might finally get it right.
Here's what was on my list this week:
