What's for supper? | Menu Planning

Raise your hand if you never know what to make for supper.
Or, do you feel like you're in a rut & always make the same things?

I did.  And so at the beginning of the year, I set a goal to menu plan by the month.  The first three months of the year, I did awesome... and then it became menu planning by the week... and lately, it hasn't been happening at all.

I really need to get back on the bandwagon, and I thought as long as I'm doing it, I might as well share our weekly menu to help inspire others to get cookin' & get some fresh ideas.

I truly think the hardest part of making dinner, is deciding what to make.  And once you decide what to make, having all the ingredients on hand is the next kicker... so a little planning goes a long way.

My goal is to make 3 dinners/week.  We like leftovers and for our little family, 3 meals will get us through.  The rest of the week we'll scrounge, eat leftovers, or eat at grandmas/grandpa's.  We also usually end up eating out on Friday or Saturday night.

I never follow a recipe for chicken noodle soup, but this one looks pretty close to how I make mine.  I will usually add peas & shredded zucchini too. Sometimes I'll use a rotisserie chicken if I'm feeling extra lazy.  I usually end up with a huge batch when I make this, but when we're sick of eating it, the leftovers freeze well.  And I always bring some to my grandma. :)

I shared this recipe on my blog a few years ago, and it's still hands down one of my favorites.
I love pizza.  I love bread.  I love all the things about this.

A Pinterest Win! Easy & delicious.  I serve them with steamed broccoli & cauliflower rice or some kind of potato.
P.S. - have you seen the Dynamic Duo little potatoes at Aldi recently?  They are SO SO good roasted in the leftover oil/ranch mixture from the pork chops. 



I'd love it if you'd share some of your favorite dinner time meals in the comment section below, so I can incorporate them in our rotation!
