MW Weekly Meal Planning – Saving Time While Making Better Dinners

mothercooking

Like most moms,  I have a very busy schedule,  but I also like to make great dinners for my family.  In order to do this,  I have to plan.  So every Sunday,  I sit with my schedule and my cookbooks and figure out what days I’ll cook,  what I’ll cook,  and what I’ll need.  I then do most of my shopping on Sunday so I’m set for the week.  It saves me time and it means I don’t have to try and figure out what to make each night.  I plan the whole week in one sitting.

My friends are constantly emailing and texting me, “Nicole,  what should I make for dinner?”  because they know I have it all mapped out already.  So,  for this week, here is my plan:

MONDAY
Roasted Cornish Game Hens with Baby Vegetables

TUESDAY
Spaghetti and Sausages with Green Salad

WEDNESDAY
Oven Braised Short Ribs with Creamy Polenta and Roasted Green Beans

THURSDAY
Ham ‘n Mac ‘n Cheese with Broccoli

FRIDAY
Mom’s night off.  Take out night (We do this every Friday)

Click thru for the recipes.  And just so you know,  the Short Ribs are crazy good!!!
