Sharing our work of weekly meal planning
Our weekly menu
We both work full time so weekday dinners tend to be simple affairs. With planning, though, we can keep meals interesting and delicious. Our focus for foods are vegetarian - with occasional seafood on special occasions - and variety.
Currently we're also eating low dairy so most of what you'll see here is vegan. Our weekly menus are here and you'll find the occasional recipe - especially if it's one we've made up and tested in our own kitchen and even served to friends or brought to potlucks. The weekly shopping list are included as well and that might simplify your shopping as well. Most of what you'll find here isn't original so it should be easy to find dozens of versions of these for free.
FRESH VEGGIES
WHY WE MAKE A WEEKLY MENU...
Our first fight as a married couple took place in the grocery store. We had just returned from our honeymoon, had nothing in our refrigerator or pantry, and so we went to the store. We had never shopped together and our first time was not so pleasant. We quickly discovered we were incompatible shoppers. Before we were out of the produce section, I was in tears. He had steam coming out of his ears. To save our marriage, we sat down in the grocery store and wrote down what we'd have to eat at each meal for the next week. We made a grocery list and breezed through the store hand-in-hand. We've made a menu and shopping list every week for the past three years, and we're madly in love.
