Weekly Menu Plan

This week I am feeling good about my menu plan. Last week I didn't make one nor did I make a concrete grocery shopping list, which basically threw my whole week off. Dinners were jumbled and we ended up getting take out a couple of times. I was also very snippy all week because I didn't buy enough food to keep me feeling energized- I am gluten and dairy free so I need to take a lot of care in planning what I have on hand. I normally do a lot of my food prep on Sunday but this did not happen last week and it showed. 

This week I already have a huge bowl of rice in the fridge, black beans soaking for a new side dish I am trying (there will be leftovers for me to freeze), lettuce washed and ready to eat and watermelon all cut up. Tomorrow I plan on making some hard boiled eggs and a batch of kale chips. I am also going to make a gigantic batch of waffles for the kids- I freeze them for quick and easy breakfasts.

So, here is my menu plan for the week. This is what I bought for the week, but I am also planning on going to a local grocery store on Tuesday (they are have a 2 day sale) to buy scrod for $3.99/lb, cherry tomatoes for .99, cucumbers for .74, celery for $1.49, kiwi for .50 each and bananas for .39/lb.
