Happy Monday, everyone! This week is starting off to another sunny, and finally, chilly start here in Dixie. Well friends, what a weekend our nation has had! While my opinions on the matter are obviously not needed in a Meal Plan Monday post, it’s still worth noting that no matter what changes our nation will face in the days to come, there are still things that we can all do as families to help offset these changes, including meal planning and easy, simple shopping and recipe creation. I’m a firm believer that when things change I cling to consistency, especially my weekly meal plans!
This week’s menu again reflects our need to eat down our food stockpile. As we are having to consume everything we have on-hand first, we did not purchase anything new this week with the exception of fresh salad greens, cilantro, coconut oil, and organic nut milk. So in lieu of making individual meals, we are again using up pre-made freezer meals and frozen blanched veggies this week, which is enough to feed a family of three. I mean if it ain’t broke, right?
So here is what we will be having this week, friends!

So, folks, that’s this week’s Monday Meal Planning session. Simple, basic food options. Basic but yummy I say! Also, I wanted to mention that since the holiday’s I have been using my new favorite menu planning resource, Plan to Eat, and I really think you all might benefit from it as well.
