Weekly Goals + Menu Plan
Happy Monday! Since my husband is self-employed, today isn’t a holiday for our family, but we are planning to have a special meal this evening.  This is going to be a super busy week for us with the start of piano and gymnastics, but I’m still hoping to accomplish some goals here at home, too. Sometimes it helps with accountability if I share my weekly goals, and just for fun I thought I’d throw in my menu plan as well. 🙂
Goals for This Week
- Finish sewing a dress for my daughter
- Organize my desk
- Make bread
- Have a tea party with my kids
- Make salt dough maps
- Finish reading one book (during my personal reading time)
I’m keeping my goals very simple since I already know we’re going to be busy!
Menu Plan
I’m still working on cooking from what’s in the pantry and freezer (as I mentioned here), but we reached a point where we did have to get some groceries to round out what we already had. I made a full menu for this week, complete with snacks! Since I’m trying to get back to Trim Healthy Mama, all of the things I have planned for myself and my husband are on-plan. The kids are eating many of the same things with modifications (like having granola with their oatmeal, baked potatoes for lunch, regular bread, etc.).
Some of the recipes below are from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, some are from Build a Menu, and I’ve linked to the ones that are available online.
And I’m using my favorite menu planning sheet, which you can download for free here!
