Meal Planning When Food Doesn’t Sound Good

menu planning monday

If you follow my Facebook updates, you know last week was a bad one in our household.  A very, very, very, very, very bad virus hit four out of five of us.

It was not a good week.

The One Whose Job Is To Plan The Meals is still a wee bit under the weather.

Food?  Not my friend.

Our meal plan is simple this week.  Comfort Foods.  Kid-requested meals.  Slow-cooker dishes.  And things I can make without having a lot prep work or a lot of time standing at the stove.

Yeah, I’m lazy when I’m sick.  Don’t judge.

What We Are Eating This Week

Monday:  Asparagus Soup with Herbed Goat Cheese, Italian Bread

Tuesday:  (didn’t get to this last week, so it’s back on the menu this week)  Slow Cooker Chipotle Steak Quesadillas, Refried Beans and Spanish Rice

Wednesday:  leftovers

Thursday:  Slow Cooker Baked Potato Bar, salad and homemade vinaigrette

Friday:  Lasagna, Roasted Green Beans, Garlic Bread

Saturday:  Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken, Roasted Poblano Mac & Cheese

Sunday: leftovers

 

What I’m Baking This Week

Bread Machine Italian Bread

Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Baked Oatmeal ‘n Fruit Muffins

 

What meals do you make for your family when food isn’t your friend?
