Many of you may already be aware Meal Plan Monday’s on OrgJunkie. This is a great way to inspire others to try new things and get new ideas for yourself. I love the idea. Unfortunately, since I am just getting this thing started, I am posting my meal plan for the week one day late. Maybe I can get my act together next week and actually cross-post on OrgJunkie on Monday. What a concept!
I usually only plan to make 4 dinners per week and the other three days we eat leftovers or something quick out of the freezer. I find that if I make many more meals we end up wasting food. Either we don’t get to the produce in time or I throw away a lot of leftovers, which actually just go to the chickens or in the compost, but it still feels wasteful.
I also don’t usually assign days to the meals but try to make the one with the most fresh produce first, working my way down so that we eat the produce at it’s best. For this week we have two ‘new to us’ recipes to try and two others that we have had (and enjoy) before.
Curried Tofu with Rice
Double Bean Pasta with Tomatoes
Asian Peanut Slaw with Tofu – new to us
Indian Saag with rice – new to us
What are you eating this week?
