Weekly Meal Planning

In order to keep myself from being too scatter-brained lately (which any woman who's been pregnant totally understands...) and to help make grocery shopping more efficient, I decided to start planning out my meals for the week.  I've done this before, but have gotten out of the habit.  I've also decided to make some extra each day to freeze for when baby arrives.  It will be wonderful to have meals we can just pull out of the freezer, thaw, and reheat on days when we're both too tired to think about preparing dinner...or to go grocery shopping!  So, here's my list for the week:

Monday: Sloppy Joes (with Wildtree's Sloppy Joe Blend...delicious!)
*Make extra to freeze*

Tuesday: Chicken & Broccoli Fettucine Alfredo (with Wildtree's Alfredo Extraordinaire...seriously, this stuff is AMAZING!)

Wednesday: Hobo Stew (I'll have to ask my uncle Rick for permission to post this recipe ; )...which is
super yummy and easy)
*Make extra to freeze*

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli
(My hubby requested this meal.  Is it possible to freeze mashed potatoes?)

Saturday: Chicken Dumpling Soup
*Make extra to freeze*

Sunday: (Church Potluck Day) Green Bean Casserole & Homemade Bread
(Can I freeze green bean casserole too?  I could probably freeze a loaf of homemade bread too.)

I'd love to hear more ideas from you about meals that are quick, easy, and freezable...so comment away!
