Ohhhhh the dreaded … WHAT DO I COOK TONIGHT!?!?! One thing that helps keep me sane is making a PLAN! I love plans. But sometimes have a hard time starting to make the plan. My goal each Sunday is to make a meal plan for the week. If I can accomplish that … the week goes by much smoother.
And this little baby is a LIFESAVER! If you can see clearly what you are having that night for dinner, you can put it in the crockpot, take it out of the freezer or whatever you need to prepare ahead of time.
This is my plan for this week. Ash Wednesday is no meat and Friday. I LOVE crock pot meals - so Wednesday will be in the crock pot and Sunday. I will also double those recipes to have leftovers. The black bean soup is a new recipe I just came across. See below.
Thanks to Crockin Girls!
1 onion chopped
1 celery chopped
2-3 carrots chopped
8 cloves garlic minced
4 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp cumin
4 (15 oz) cans veggie broth
1 can corn
2 cans black beans
Put everything in Crock Pot on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
* Note: I will add more veggies and more black beans. Will also probably add minced kale blend or spinach. This would be a great soup to hide lots of veggies.
I need to get a smaller marker for my menu planner, so if you can't read it:
Crock Pot Chili
Homeade Pizza (adding lots of greens pureed in the pizza sauce)
Chicken and Veggie stir fry
Black Bean Soup
Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce (may add ground beef if it's on sale)
Grilled Fish with Asparagus
Steak and Baked Sweet Potato
Enjoy!
