Meal Plan – Week of 4/26/2021

Heading into the week with a meal plan and feeling like I can take on the world. Seriously though, mapping out a weekly meal plan takes a little time and effort – but in the end saves so much time and frustration throughout the week.

I don’t know about you – but I hate going into the dinner hour without a plan…..and don’t even think about asking the family…..it will either end up in a fight or worse – result in the dreaded “I don’t care” answer which you know isn’t true.

So – I like to gather up a few ideas from the family on the weekends, then try to weave them into the week in one way or another + mix in some healthier “mom approved” meals and build a plan that works for everyone.

Here is what’s on the menu this week. Dinners are family style – breakfasts and lunches are mapped out for me and my meal plan. I base my meal plan on a macro based plan.
