Meal Plan Monday and an OOTD

Here is the first installment in a new little segment I call "Meal Plan Monday." As I talked about earlier, I always plan out dinners for the week. That way I can avoid going out to the grocery as much as possible, it makes my life easier when it comes to dinner time, and it helps me plan my WW points. I love reading what other people are eating because it gives me ideas on what to add to our future menus, so I decided to share ours. I try and plan every Monday night because I go to the grocery on Tuesday after I drop the kids off at school. When I plan these, I don't plan meals to the day, because I like to live on the edge.  Or, that way I can choose what to make based on what is going on and what kind of mood I am in.

 Here is this week's:

- Chicken and Avocado Soup, Cheese Quesadillas
- Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Carrots
- Curried Coconut Butternut Squash Soup, Oatmeal Bread
- Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches, Apple and Carrot Salad
Broccoli Pasta
- Pizza Chicken, Spaghetti Squash

And here is an older OOTD. This skirt is the shortest one I own. I think I was so used to buying "work appropriate" clothing that it never really occurred to me that I could pull something like this off. To make it feel a little less risqué, I paired it with opaque tights and flats.

With an appearance by L, who like her mom, doesn't like to miss an opportunity to be in front of the camera.

  1. I think pairing a shorter skirt with a turtleneck is another way to make it seem less risque. And I like how you two girls are coordinated! It's like the modern-day Mommy & Me.

    I like seeing what other people are eating too. Like tonight I'm making pumpkin chili because that's what Melanie told me she made over the weekend, so I like stealing menu ideas. And I think this is why I like Pinterest so much. I don't necessarily use the exact recipes I pin, but they give me ideas for things I could throw together.
