Weekly Meal Plan: 10/6-10/11

This week’s meal plan is being posted a little later than usual because I wanted to go to Trader Joe’s for easy almost-made meals and didn’t have a chance to hit one up until this afternoon.

Jon’s out of town until late Friday and I might have to work past dinnertime every night this week. I have childcare lined up most evenings - thanks, Mom and babysitter Nora! - and so am prepping/suggesting easy meals that don’t feel like an imposition to ask someone to make. I’ve got a few bagged salads and bunch of stuff in the freezer to make for myself whenever I get home - dumplings, pupusas, things like that; plus a big bag of frozen broccoli florets.

Sunday:

pearl couscous with meatballs in red sauce, sauteed sweetcorn

Monday:

pesto tortellini with Trader Joe’s pesto-marinated chicken and broccoli

Tuesday:

kids: out to dinner with my parents

Wednesday:

kids: sausage, rice, and steamed frozen veggies

Thursday:

kids: pizza with sliced veggies

Friday:

rosemary steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli
