Meal Planning

The boyfriend says we need to make a good menu for meals throughout the week so we can make ONE shopping trip per week & have different meals to eat each day. So I am taking suggestions for meal ideas! We are also on a budget, so don't go all "T-Bones & Lobster" on me lol (although, that does sound like a good splurge idea)! Once we get our weekly meal prepping schedule figured out, I will share with those of you who are looking for a good meal plan.

Goulash

Image
Okay, so this is like an all-time favorite of mine! It's quick, simple, & cheap! It's called Goulash if you've never heard of it, or "Poverty Meal." So if you're running low on funds, this is perfect! I made a pot last night. My son had a small bowl, I had two bowls, & my boyfriend ate all the rest! He had never had Goulash before, but he loved it. It's also great for meal-prepping. I followed this recipe from delish.com & I will attach the link straight to the recipe! http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a55501/best-goulash-recipe/

Homemade Pasta Salad

Image
I stole this recipe from my boyfriend (hehehe). When he first told me about it, I was a little unsure! But I will usually try anything! Now that I have tried it, I love it! It's perfect for my work lunches. It's extremely simple, too! So here's the recipe for his homemade pasta salad. Here's what you need: A box of ziti pasta A package of pepperoni A block of Monterrey-jack cheese A cucumber About 3 small tomatoes A small bottle of Italian dressing (8 oz should be good) First, boil your ziti pasta by the directions on the box. While doing that, you can cut up your tomatoes, cucumber, & cheese. Also, tear your pepperoni slices into smaller pieces. When your noodles are done, throw everything together & mix your Italian dressing with it & voila! There is your homemade pasta salad! You can add other things to it if you'd like, such as avocado, bacon, bell peppers, jalapenos, just have fun with it! Keep leftovers refrigerated 😃😃
