What I’m Cooking This Week

I’m addicted to meal planning, not because I’m so organized, but because I’d be lost without a menu to guide me through the week.
Here’s what we’re eating this week:
Monday: slow cooker chicken alfredo stew, whole wheat biscuits (Joy of Cooking)
Tuesday: baked ziti, salad
Wednesday: spicy skillet chicken
Thursday: parmesan baked chicken, garden pasta, bread machine rolls
Friday: we have plans
Saturday: pork, lentil, and apple soup, leftover rolls
Sunday: roast, veggies, potatoes
If you want any of the recipes I didn’t have links for, let me know!
What are you cooking this week?
(You can read dozens of other menu plans at I’m an Organizing Junkie.)
Oh, it scared me too! I had cooked growing up, but planning and cooking for two every day was a completely different story. It took lots of trial and error (and realization that serving my husband only pasta for dinner was just not enough). It’s a lot of fun though!
Oh snap. Pasta only sounds good to me! lol
My problem is that I will make one casserole like dish for myself then eat it for…well…till its gone! Guess I will have to work on more balanced meals!
Maybe your future hubby likes pasta though! I think it’s just figuring out both of your preferences and how to meld them together. (Prioritizing his of course!) My hubby lifts weights a lot so he needs protein and large portions.
I’ve been married nearly 20 years, and I’ve only begun the whole menu planning thing recently. I would *thoroughly* recommend it
I love menu planning, too! Well, love is a bit of an exaggeration, but it sure makes my life easier.
And that alfredo stew sounds so, so, so good, but I’m still dairy free and it’s haaaard. I ate a tiny little scoop of ice cream yesterday and poor sister has been paying for it. Sadness.







Ok so one of the things that scares me the most about getting married is the whole food thing! Lol
Cooking…well…I am working on it! The meal planning things is super neat though! I definitely need to get started on it! And start practicing before the wedding
