Meal Plan Week of January 25, 2010
by Rachel Tayse • January 24, 2010 • Meal Plan, Recipes & Meals • 2 Comments
Before we get to the goodies of this week’s plan, I wanted to feature a few things that help us follow our plan: the whiteboard and refrigerator shopping list.
I write out the meals on the whiteboard so those who aren’t paying attention when we meal plan and don’t keep up with their RSS feed (ahem, Alex) have another reference point during the week.
I keep the post-it pad on the front of the fridge to write down foodstuffs as we run out of them. When I go grocery shopping I add to the bottom of that list and take it to the store. Does anyone else have a system like this?
This week’s Mindful Menus will be:
Monday – salmon, salad, rice (Rachel will have dinner at Whole Foods before book club with Food Matters Columbus.)
Tuesday – root vegetable gratin topped with fried egg, applesauce
Wednesday – parmesan rind soup with chickpeas and kale, spaghetti and home canned sauce
Thursday – leftovers or quesadillas
Friday – vegetable pie with cornbread top crust
Saturday – Rachel’s parents?
Sunday – Alex’s parents
We do something similar, we have a black board painted on the wall opposite of our fridge, one side is the meal plan, the other is the grocery list, or it was. Right now our kitchen is in construction mode and the black board is primed waiting for our new paint. In the interim I’m using paper and forgetting a lot of stuff I need at the store!
Hey Rachel! First of all – love your organization and second – you know how I feel about gratins!!! Never thought to add a fried egg to it. Also the soup sounds very interesting. Enjoy the rest of your week! Thanks for joining Mindful Menus – I love having you!!!
