I didn't really include this as a New Year's resolution, but one thing I want to get better at this year is meal planning. I really struggle with this. We signed up for Hello Fresh about a year and a half ago and that has helped tremendously, but I still need to work on it. We only get 2 meals per week (and sometimes we skip a week altogether) so I still need to plan for the other 5 nights. So one thing I am starting today is having a slow cooker meal every Monday. Hello Fresh gets delivered every Monday, so we usually have those meals every Monday and Tuesday, but sometimes it doesn't arrive until 7 or 8, so I have to have a back-up. So starting today, I am going to do a slow cooker meal every Monday, then Hello Fresh on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then whatever on Thursday. Friday (or Saturday) we typically order take-out in an effort to support a local small business through this pandemic. Then I still need to plan for Saturday (or Friday) and Sunday. So that is my new routine. This is my menu for this week:
Monday - Chicken Enchilada Soup
Tuesday - Hello Fresh Seared Steak
Friday - either take-out or butternut squash ravioli (also from TJ's. I do actually cook sometimes, I swear!)
Saturday - whichever we don't have on Friday
Sunday - I'm out. I can't plan that far ahead! Maybe spaghetti, we'll see.
