Weekly Meal Plan #24

April 10 - April 16
 
I'm officially 30!  It's not as bad as I thought.  I had a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends yesterday.  In addition to officially being 30, I am officially a wino.  People were asking my hubby what to get me for my birthday.  He said that I (and we...as a semi-housewarming) didn't want any gifts, just their wonderful presence for the evening.  Still, if they did really want to get something, anything wine related would be perfect.  So, wine, wine and more wine is what I got!  I got bottles of wine, wine stoppers, a wine stopper candleabra, Chocovine wine, a traveling wine cooler in the shape of a wine bottle (it's cool), a gift card to buy more wine, and...wait for it...my best friend and maid of honor from our wedding, she and her husband got us a wine refridgerator!  It should be arriving in 4 days!  Phew!  That's a lot of wine.  I officially have the reputation of being a wino. 

After enjoying so much wine on my 30th birthday, it is now time to plan a recuperative meal plan for the week!  It's nice being back in the meal planning business and I am starting to get used to my new kitchen.  So...without further ado, this weeks meal plan.

Weekly Meal Plan #22

March 13 - March 19

Hey all!  I want to give you a heads up that the next two or three weeks, meal plans will be simple, no nonsense meal plans.  I didn't want to take a complete hiatus during our move, but need to keep is basic.  We officially close on our house in 9 days!  I can't believe it.  It still doesn't feel real.

We got our mortgage commitment this week, arranged for our first year's insurance, and started seeing up utilities and such.  Our apartment is the messiest it has EVER been with the boxes (full and empty) strewn about.  DH packed up the DVD player last night with my 30 Day Shred DVD in it!  How I am going to exercise.  He nicely plugged it back it, removed the DVD, and then told me to use my computer for the next two weeks.  That will be fun.  All pictures are off the walls, kitchen stuff we don't use on a regular basis (at least once a week) has been packed, and the cats are enjoying their new maze to play in.

So yeah - like I said.  We're going to keep it simple for now with the meal plans.  I'll be honest, too; sometimes depending on how our meals went the previous week, my actual meal plan may not be exactly what I post.  But for the next two to three week, I'm posting exactly what we are doing.  ::blushes in preparation for slight embarrassment::   ENJOY!

Sunday - Leftover Simple Hamburger Stroganoff (this was super yummy!!)
Monday - Frozen Pizza
Tuesday -Half BBQ Chicken over Potatoes and Onions (cook for 45 minutes in a dutch oven)
Wednesday - Eggs and Bacon (with chorizo for me!)
Thursday - Omaha Steak Hamburgers and Sweet Potatoe Fries
Friday - Ordering out!
Saturday - Easy Bisquick Chicken Pot Pie

You'll notice most of these don't have links.  That's how simple we are going!  They are what they are! (Cues Ke$ha...) The Simple Hamburger Stroganoff are left overs, so I'm not including their ingredients in the grocery list.  Do what you need to do!
