My Afflation

The plan this week was to cook everything on Sunday and reheat throughout the week because evenings this week are hella busy. That didn't happen (but the house is clean!!!) I mean, look at those floors... I managed to menu plan and place my grocery order on Friday for Saturday delivery (yes, my time is worth the cost) so that was an organizational win. Maybe you'll have better luck with AmazonFresh . I'll be able to make and prep at least two meals tonight, probably have leftovers on Wednesday, and we'll have to see how the week works out. Adjusting to being out of the house for 10+ hours a day is still happening. Menu Plan Monday - hosted by orgjunkie.com Monday : Shepherd's Pie (recipe adapted from  Caveman Casserole ) Paleo Shepherd's Pie Tuesday :  Moroccan Chicken Stew Apparently, when I nuked G+ I lost the photo to this one. Thursday :  Blackened Chicken & Avocado Sauce --Over Zoodles This one is quick and easy. ...

I have a feeling I have used that title before ... but hey, it's a different year. And now we are going Whole 30 this week because I need it. Sunday : Lemon Pepper Chicken with Zoodles. Seriously, now that my local grocery store carries zoodles I buy 2-4 packages a week. It saves me so much time ! Monday : Stuffed Peppers Stuffed peppers Tuesday : Paleo-Keto Taco  (Salad) with lettuce wraps instead of blue corn tortilla shells. But this was one of the better pictures I have. Taco night Wednesday :  Grilled Steak & Avocado with Garlic-Shallot puree  (pg 216) and  mandarin strawberry salad Thursday: Spinach Fritatta Spinach and Mushroom Frittata Friday : Lamb Kabobs

Feeling slightly unprepared Monday : Spicy Lime Beef Salad Tuesday : Second viewing of The Force Awakens at Alamo Draft House!!!!! No cooking for me. Wednesda y: Salmon and Spud Salad Thursday : Curried Cauliflower Soup  Friday (Christmas) : Crown Roast of Lamb (or maybe Mereneese , I have't decided yet or maybe I'll do a Mereneese Crown) Maple buttered roasted carrots Mashed butternut squash Rolls Steamed veggies Lemon pound cake (family recipe) for dessert. Saturday : Leftovers

I kind of feel like one. An April Fool that is. Last week I winged it and didn't plan anything because the week was so busy. The result -- I cooked once, maybe twice and we ate out more than I like. But I think the leftovers from the last week and a half are gone! I was in Texas stretching my social media wings this weekend and trying to jump back into things at home and work today. The best part of the weekend was spending some quality time with my son's godmother. We haven't seen in each other in over a decade! I don't know how some of the mom bloggers do so much traveling and keep it together at home! Let alone keep up with chores and stuff -- but then, I only really have the weekend to do that. Almost makes me miss being a SAHM. Almost. So, what am I planning this week? Monday : grocery shopping for the rest of the week's meals and Costco pizza (you can't beat the price!) Tuesday : Teryaki Sirloin Steak with Spinach and Strawberry Salad Wednesday ...
