My husband and I are discussing joining forces and losing weight together, so this busts open my current meal plan. I've been relying on old favorites to plan meals, but it isn't really what we NEED.
Today I took a look at my weekly plan and what we could do differently. Currently, we have dinner at Costco together once a week and then go grocery shopping. I love doing this together! But during a conversation this morning, my husband expressed he doesn't want to eat Costco food anymore...so we talked about keeping the routine, but maybe doing something different (like bringing him a salad).
Here's how I'm changing it up as I look at what we want to do with our summer routine:
Sunday: homemade pizza
Monday:
Tuesday:
Wednesday: Costco (plus salad?)
Thursday: Chicken Broc Dijon or Southwest Turkey
Friday: special favorite meal (stroganoff, taco salad, chick enchiladas)
Saturday: this day is always different, so it needs special planning (crockpot, sandwiches, out, guests, frozen casserole, chili, etc)
This only really leaves Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday to plan for! WOW! After taking a little time to jot down our weekly plan (we're making some changes there), I can see a little better what needs to change...and I'm welcoming it!
