Meal plan for the week :)

I don't know about you but sometimes its hard to come up with new recipes to try each week.  I find that I fall into a rut of making the same meals over and over (especially if they are a husband/toddler hit) and then we get burnt out on them.  With that in mind I thought it might be fun to list my meal plan for the week in case you were needing a little inspiration in your cooking life too :)

Monday:
Cauliflower gnocchi with pasta sauce and a side salad

Tuesday:
Ahi tuna steaks with arugula, watermelon, and feta cheese salad

Wednesday:
Pork chops with broccoli/brussel sprouts mix

Thursday:
Grilled/baked (undecided) chicken with mango salsa and sweet potatoes

Friday:
we usually eat out this night to give us a little break from cooking, cleaning, etc. - almost like a mini celebration that we made it to Friday - ya feel me?

Saturday and Sunday always vary from week to week... sometimes we cook and sometimes we take those meal times as opportunities to meet up/catch up with friends and family (which could look like cooking, bringing a dish, or meeting at a restaurant). 

Breakfast
this also looks different week to week but some favorites in the rotation include: overnight oats with fruit, cereal (not often though), avacado toast with salmon, egg muffin bites, plain greek yogurt with fruit/cottage cheese with fruit.

Lunch:
Adam has been taking the same 4 things to lunch every day for the last several months and says he loves it :) - peanut butter and raspberry sandwich, apple, rx bar, and 3 boiled eggs. 

I typically take leftovers from the night before or I make a salad with a fruit or bring hummus with cut peppers.  Depends on what we have in the fridge. 

Hope this gives you a few ideas!
