Keeping Up With...Food (Menu Plan 2/17 - 2/23)

So my menu this week looks very similar to last week's because in my Dayquill haze sick state, I forgot a few things when I menu planned last week.  First, I got a half price deal for meals for a company called Hello Fresh.  They deliver meals to your door with everything you need to cook the meals.  We got a box with 3 meals, with tons of fresh veggies & meat so we had to put those on the menu immediately.

Our box from Hello Fresh had Mahi Mahi, Balsamic Beef & Chicken Paillard.  We have made 2 of the 3 and they were both really good.  We're making the chicken tonight.  I think this is a great concept, especially if you are super busy but still want to eat fresh, healthy, good food.  For us, it was very expensive.  I can buy similar ingredients for much less.  With the half price deal it was worth it, and I would do it again with a deal like that.

I also ended up working a lot more than we were expecting, including Valentine's Day so our plans changed.  I worked early & we decided that I would pick up dinner & then we'd watch a movie.  So that bumped more meals to this week.  And we had my niece's birthday party on Saturday.  For some reason, I planned a meal that night, even though I knew my brother would have awesome food.  He did so we ate there...and came home with some leftovers.

This week the menu is all about using up the veggies I bought for last week before they go bad.  Gotta love that kind of menu planning!  At least I think with this plan we'll use everything before it goes bad.  Here's what we're eating:

Monday, 2/17 - Chicken Paillard from Hello Fresh
Tuesday, 2/18 - Spaghetti Pie - will sub out spaghetti squash for the pasta & cook on Weds so I can just heat it up
Wednesday, 2/19 - BBQ Chicken Pizza (Relish Recipe)
Thursday, 2/20 - Lentil & Greens Soup & Grilled Cheese (Relish Recipe)
Friday, 2/21 - Shrimp & Salad (Relish Recipe)
Saturday, 2/22 - Sausage Beans & Greens Soup - hoping to cook this Friday, but we'll see how it goes
Sunday, 2/23 - Saucy Asian Meatballs over cauliflower "rice"
