Menu Plan, Cleaning List and Free Printable Weekly Menu Planner

 

Welcome to a brand new week!  Spring has sprung so I am in the mood for sprucing up the house a bit and cooking fresh, yummy meals with lots of veggies and seasonal fruits.  Easter is this coming Sunday so I have been scouring the web looking for simple side dishes to go with ham and grilled chicken. I will share my final decisions this week in a post.  Easter is such a  wonderful way to add more family traditions to our fond food memories.  I can remember eating canned Le Sueur Peas with mashed potatoes and ham along with my mom’s yummy pineapple gravy.  I am not sure what I will be making this year because I am really eating less and less meat so I need to add some proteins to some salad so that my meals are balanced while still remembers my boys are carnivores FOREVER! 🙂

Here is my menu plan for the week. I am really cracking down on eating more vegetables and a couple of fruit servings per day.  I have been only eating meat at dinner (supper time) for over 15 days now.  If something mind-boggling happens, like dropping 10 pounds or running a marathon by hopping on one-foot. I will be sure to let you know.  But so far, I just feel lighter on the inside and a bit more peaceful.

 

Monday – Crockpot  Shredded BBQ Chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli salad.  (Yum, just pre-made this tonight and it is fantastic.)  I use leftover grilled chicken breast for my bbq chicken.

Tuesday –  Taco Night – My son’s favorite meal of the week.  Ground Turkey tacos with all the yummy condiments.

Wednesday – Against the Grain Pizza Bar – 2 Frozen pizzas and lots of fixings for my family to dress their side of the pizza.  Yumtastic and Fun to boot.  You can buy six in a box at Amazon but I find my pizzas at Sprouts and Whole Foods.

Thursday –  Leftover Picnic or Sandwiches and Soup  –  We still have a family dinner planned but I am prepping for Easter so keeping it as simple as possible.

Friday –  Crispy Baked Cod (Paleo), Oven Fries and Salad

Saturday – Dinner Out

Sunday – Easter – I know we are having ham and lots of fixings, details will be ironed out by Tuesday morning.  I am pretty sure there will be some kind of lemon treat and something with lots of chocolate and of course plenty of Southern Sweet Tea.

 

Cleaning List for the Week

Monday – Deep Clean Kitchen – Choose wisely on major appliance or area to deep clean. This I suggest cleaning and organizing inside of 4 or more drawers or shelves. Simple yet needed every three months or so throughout the year.

Tuesday – Bathroom – Give the bathrooms and a good scrubbing, especially, tubs, showers, sinks, and mirrors.

Wednesday –  Dust and Mirrors and Windows –  Dust all the furniture and doo-dads, shine all mirrors and windows on the inside.

 Thursday –  Add some flowers here and there for Easter or spring.  Look at inspiring photos of spring on the web and at Houzz.com

Friday – Declutter-one area for 5 to 10 minutes or catch up on anything that was missed during the week. We are working on closets. Keep it simple, Friday is for family and fun!

Saturday-Linens and Extra Laundry Don’t you love the idea of fresh smelling sheets and towels!

Sunday –  Happy Easter to those who observe and Happy Spring to Everyone!  Do something fantastic for the family and enjoy the day!

I hope your week is full of joy and peace!
