So I spent all day yesterday working on research and can now begin my food obsessing for the week guilt-free. This week I decided to spend about an hour over the weekend planning out the meals for the week, so that I could get all my grocery shopping done in one shot. "Well of course," you might say, "That's what people do." But alas prior to the past few weeks, I would normally just get a craving for some type of food on a given day and then go buy ingredients. This would lead to MULTIPLE trips to the grocery store every week and would also lead to me going to get take-out more often than not. Because I mean by the time I'm hungry enough to want to eat- having to go to the grocery store and then cook the food is going to take way too long. I tend to get lightheaded and cranky when I'm hungry. It's not a pretty sight. (This along with my hatred of people disrupting my sleep and my bad mood in the morning has led to Chris' super cute nickname for me: Monster. He says this very affectionately, but obviously his feelings are clear.)
So here are the recipes I'll be trying out this week. I'm going to try out the baked chicken for dinner tonight. If there's enough time I also hope to make the chicken for the pitas and the coleslaw in order to get a couple days of lunches out of it. We'll see how it goes...
Oven Fried Chicken
Chicken Salad Pitas
Blue Cheese Cole Slaw
Spaghetti with Prosciutto & Parmesan
Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon
How do you all plan your meals for the week? In advance? Daily? Any good recipes you'll be trying out this week?
This is what popped up when I googled "grocery shopping." For real.
