Menu Planning!

I love www.stumbleupon.com.
It is MAJORLY distracting, but I have found some really neat, helpful, and insightful sights on there. Basically, when you sign up (for free), you click on your interests like exercising, books, crafts, marriage, food, beauty, clothing, etc. They have quite an extensive list. After you've done that, you click stumble. It then pulls up random websites or blogs that match one of your interests. I have found some awesome recipes and fun crafts through it! I even found a new and super easy way to style my hair when I do princess magic shows (I always had a bit of trouble with making my hair look princessy).

Anywho, I've noticed that planning for meals is very popular now through the blogs I've stumbled upon. Since I got married, I've always planned for meals one week at a time. It's sometimes hard to think of unique things to cook for when it's just cooking for two! I've done a bit of research, and I haven't found many blogs at all that have menu planning for couples. It's mainly for families with three or more. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the bloggers who post their menus are mothers. I love to read these blogs, but where are the blogs that cater to the couples who plan their meals?

Sooo, I decided to start posting what I make each week!

Here's this coming week:

Monday: Fish Tacos w/ avocado, onions, bell peppers, homemade chipotle sauce, and fresh cilantro
Tuesday: Pan-Seared Fish drizzled with lemon, melted butter, and parsley, Roasted sweet potatoes and onions, and brown rice
Wednesday: Chicken rice bowl with onions, bell peppers, and peas (plus any more veggies I can find)
Thursday: I get to see my best friend, Lauren! Most likely, we'll be eating at the P-den (a place at Furman where I can get free food with my points)
Friday: Lasagna (from the freezer I made two weeks ago) and a BIG salad
Saturday: A BIG salad and macaroni and cheese

(Vincent works every weekend, and I have to babysit a lot on weekend nights so we try to make the weekend night meals quick and easy)

Speaking of babysitting, I must go babysit now!
