Meal Plan Monday!

Happy President's Day to you!  I am lucky enough to have an extended weekend thanks to the celebration of our President's which is always nice.  I hope you're lucky enough to have today off too!

It's has been a busy weekend so far, but enjoyable as well.  Saturday I had maintenance done on my car, grocery shopped, completed my homework, took the girls for a walk and went to a housewarming BBQ.  I then cleaned house on Sunday, completed more homework and went outside to pick up the yard.   I suppose my weekend was actually rather domestic but I'm okay with that.

The meals on the menu this week all come from the March issue of Family Circle magazine.  I started receiving this magazine out of nowhere.  I have not subscribed myself and I have not been told about a gift subscription from anyone either so it's rather strange, but appreciated nonetheless.  Anyway, in this issue there is a section dedicated to a month's worth of healthy meals made easy.  I'm all for an easy weeknight meal and we try to eat as healthy as we can so I thought it would be fun to plan this week's menu from their recipes and let you all know what we thought of them!

Here's what we will be trying out:

Sunday: Steak Salad

I made this with roasted acorn squash, which I'll be writing about soon. I opted for top sirloin and a side salad instead of the steak on the salad, as the magazine suggested.  I did this mainly because I rarely cook steak let alone flank steak so I stuck with what I knew.  

Monday: Turkey Burgers and Asparagus.

PS: Asparagus was on sale this weekend and is until Tuesday at Albertsons.  I paid under $2lb!

Tuesday: Crockpot Smoky Navy Bean Soup

Wednesday: Roasted Veggie Pitas and Chopped Salad

Thursday: Chicken Fajitas and Quinoa

Friday: Possibly Chicken and Dumplings (not from FC magazine).

I have tentative plans to join some friends for dinner after work so if that doesn't happen this is my plan B. 

What are you having for dinner this week?  I hope you're Monday is excellent and the remainder of your week is as well, see you Wednesday!
