Weekend Menu Planning

lentilsoupsaladandcookie Weekend Menu Planning

I need more of these meals in my life!

Here’s a strange fact: We went to Fresh Market on Tuesday ,spent a good chunk of money, and I’m still finding it hard to figure out what to make. I swear we bought nothing but, juice (Josh bought five containers of fresh pressed pomegranate juice), fruit, lettuce, cereal and two pounds of bacon. I should never go to the store without a plan. I will end up buying elements of a meal that just don’t go together.

So now I need a plan, because I ate out Wednesday night with my girlfriends, which is fine. I out breakfast out yesterday morning, which is not fine. And I made egg noodles with butter and parmesan last night for dinner. Also, not good.

And I need to learn how to soak beans. I know, put them in water and let them soak. But, mine took so long to get soft, they got moldy. How does one not know how to properly soak beans?

I want to go to the store today and not go again (except for fresh produce) for about two weeks. The next two weeks are going to be busy and I want to be ready with fresh, prepared food and a plan.

Here’s what I want to make more of:
