Meal Planning for
Sanity
Hello there!  I am
Heather from over at My Organized Chaos. 
I am proud and humbled to be guest hosting for Censie.  I hope you all love reading her blog as much
as I do!  Other than reading my fair
share of blogs, I am a wife, mom to a (almost) 19 month old baby girl, teacher,
friend, and lover of all things organized. 
I spend my days teaching high school math, playing with my girl, and
loving my husband of just over 11 years.
I am very lucky to have a great partner in raising our
daughter and help from family but when is comes to the day to day planning, I
tend to get wrapped up in the details. 
Summer was a little vacation from everything – I had time to do anything
that I wanted.  As the school year
approached, I got a little nervous about getting everything done in the
evenings.  J’s and my workouts, dinner,
clean-up, bath/showers, cooking, organizing for the next day, and school work –
it’s a LOT.  I resolved to get meal
planning under control. 
I started with finding good recipes.  Pinterest has been a fantastic resource.  I have found a great deal of great recipes
and ideas.  I have also been souring the
blogs that I currently read.   I am a huge sucker for freezer and crock pot
meals. 
Here are my
go tos:
Chicken
Enchiladas
– this is easy and makes several meals for us!
Four
Cheese Stuffed Shells
– easier than it looks and SOOOOOOO good!
Chilli – I use
a recipe from the book 30 Meals in 1 Day
Meatloaf –
my MIL’s recipe
While we don’t plan for each day we have a menu of meals
that we pick for the week.  We do leave
one day open for eating out, picking up, or ordering in.  This was a big step for us.  We had gotten into a bad habit of ordering
out 2-3 days a week.  Other than
expensive, it was not good for us!  I
spend a couple hours each weekend putting together what we need and pop them in
the fridge or freezer.  This allows us to
pull something out in the morning and I can just stick it in the oven or crock pot,
add a veggie, and dinner is served!
What are your go to meals?
Thank you for posting Heather!  Please make sure you visit Heather’s blog and leave me comments of what to cook!  I NEED HELP!!  :O)
