My weekly meal planning this week was weak. Why you may ask? Cause I really didn’t feel like it. Did I still do it.. yeah mostly but I wasn’t motivated to do any complicated meals. Here’s what it looked like at my house Sunday… “hey, anyone got requests for dinner?”…. crickets. One lone voice said, “maybe pesto chicken mom”. Hubs said nothing comes to mind (he never complains about my food so he’s easy). I waited for the other two to ask for their favorites… steak and rice (5 yr old) and pesto salmon (8 yr old) but they were busy making random stuff out of duplos so no pesto salmon this week!
What does this rambling tell you? It means I’m so far from perfect that I’m not even in the same realm. Also, that even when I don’t have a plan I have a plan! I knew we had some vegetables in the fridge that needed to be consumed but that we were out of the usual proteins. So I just said, it’ll be a protein and vegetable and carb kind of meal plan. This means… basic meat, some kind of roasted vegetable and some kind of carb. Either homemade bread or potatoes or rice. All of which was decided on the fly. Is this ideal? Yah no, but I was tired and didn’t feel like more so this is good enough. So tonight, we are having easy roasted pork tenderloin, airfryer asparagus and roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary. All of which will be prepared in 15 ish minutes and we will have some leftovers for lunches tomorrow. Victory!
Tomorrow? Likely to be air fryer whole chicken, roasted cauliflower and fresh bread. I’ll work it from there.
Eat well friends!
