I know these days people struggle to find time to plan out what they will eat, often resulting in wasted food or coming into the dinner hour with no idea what to feed the bellies in the home. I thought I'd do a little sharing of some of the menus I create for our family. They may not work for you or your own particular schedule/routine but perhaps you'll find something helpful or inspiring for your own belly-filling.
Our dinners are often allergy-friendly. It feels good for me to eat less gluten/wheat and avoid dairy almost completely. Since it is Lent we are eating vegetarian or vegan about three times a week, so that will reflect in our menus for the next month or so. I do believe most Americans need to consume more vegetables, so I enjoy bringing more plant-based meals into our regular rotation as well. But we love our meat too . . .
Another caveat . . . I'm a girl who likes variety. So I'm always trying new things. We have our staple/favorite dinners but I often try new things. And ack!!!! I'm seeing that ALL my dinners this week are NEW. Oops. But I'll share some other weeks with some tried and true recipes.
Here's what we have on tap for part of this week:
