Meal Planning

By far the hardest thing for me to do is come up with healthy, yummy meals on a weekly basis. I have become a hoarder of recipes (here is my recipe cabinet). #dontjudge 


 I have cleaned this cabinet so many times but it never fails to become this mess over and over. Because of this, I rarely go into this cabinet to search for a recipe to reuse. The recipe just gets tossed in this abyss, never to be seen again. I am also semi picky when it comes to pre made meals throughout the week. Example: I do not like pre made salads or sandwiches-these must be made immediately prior to eating. Weird?  I like variety, whereas my hubby can eat the same thing day in and out for months. One week is about my limit on a food with the exception of pizza or nachos. 
This past weekend I got a new cookbook that I am dying to try! I love, love, love cookbooks! This is a totally passed down behavior from my maw maw and mom! Combine our collections and I think we could open a cookbook store! 
I'm not paleo or really grain free but the recipes in this book looked so good!  I already use coconut milk and flour so it will not be too far of a stretch but here is what I decided for the week and I will post the recipes and comments this next week. 
Breakfast: Spanish frittata with chorizo
(Anyone else love chorizo as much as I do?)
Lunch: Roasted butternut squash soup with sausage 
(I got a squash from a coworkers garden so HAD to use it!)
Dinner: Slow cooker pot roast with mashed cauliflower
Snacks: banana or grapes, Kind Bar

May throw in a spinach salad or something to get some nice greenage in there. 

I sure hope these come out as good as the pictures look!
