I see things like this and feel sadness. I have worked with meal planning, currently am in the heart of one, but it never works as planned for our family! It is already hard because Hubby is working 2nd shift and does not get home until the wee-hours of the night- aka before I get up for the start of my day. So, that means, essentially, I am cooking for me, myself and I! So, something that I make that would be for Monday, ends up being for Tuesday, Wednesday and yes, in some cases, Thursday too!
I have a 2 and 4 yo and we are on the TODDLER diet. This maens, hto dogs, nuggets, fish sticks, and burgers are regulars on the table. YUCK! I have tried EVERYTHIGN to get them to eat what we eat. Last night was a perfect example- I made a pot roast Sunday evening (dont ask) - and they usually like it- last night it was a NO GO! I even made mashed potatoes, in which my potato freak 2 yo turned her nose up at them- boo!
But, I have been serious about planning out our week and sticking somewhat to it. I made Copy Kat Carabbas Mama Mandola's soup on Saturday, and although it was not spot on, it was DAMN good! Sunday was reheated Soup, but late night Roast - which we reheated Monday. I am working on a chicken breast in an Olive Oil marinade with Italian Seasoning, Parsley, Basil, Onion Powder and Chives. Before plating, I am putting a tomato on top with Mozerella cheese. YUM, and can not wait!
I am bringing this up only because - the picture below is what I want to achieve to be:
This is AH-MAZING!
Maybe one day!!!
