Weekly Meal Plan & Shopping Trip

So, while planning my menu plan this week I had a whole bunch of stuff going on that affected my menu plan. Monday and Tuesday I’m out of the house most of the day so I had to plan meals that could be made ahead and reheated or fixed in the crockpot before I left and then finished when I got home. Plus I have two potlucks this weekend to prepare portable food for. And if that’s not enough I’m trying to eat light. A lot of these meals can be made lighter with a slight change of ingredients but a lot of the breakfast things are for the rest of the family while I gnaw on a piece of fruit. And…I’m down 2 pounds from last week. Woohoo! (Although I might have gained it back from all the good food I unrestrainedly ate over the holiday.)
