Meal Plan, Week of 11/27

During our transition these past few months, I've struggled to make weekly meal plans.  Our schedule changes at a moment's notice and it seems like meal planning has been on the back burner as we adjust to a new home, church, community, and daily routine.  Most weeks, menu planning seems like a distant memory.  We've been eating out more often (not for convenience sake, but for fellowship purposes -- that's good!) and consuming less "real" food.  I'm even craving soft drinks again, so you know I'm way off track!  I'm hoping to get us back to normal, beginning with this week.

I'm excited about Azure Standard creating a drop point in our new city.  In the months ahead, I'll share my experiences with them and some of the foods we order.  I've heard great things about the quality of their products as well as their prices on natural, wholesome foods. 

I just ordered quinoa with some credits at Vitacost, which should be arriving any day now.   We've been out of quinoa for the last month or two, so I'm looking forward to using it in our meal plan this week.

Here's what we're planning:

Lunches

• Egg salad sandwiches on whole wheat bread
• Turkey bacon, lettuce, and cheddar sandwiches on whole wheat bread
• Potstickers with a quick quinoa and brown rice blend (this is our "rush" lunch!)
• Leftovers x 2

Dinners

• Seasoned quinoa patties (similar to these), broccoli crowns with melted cheese, small salad
• Chuck pot roast, wild rice blend, buttered corn
• Simple chicken and sausage gumbo over brown rice
• Curry chicken stir fry
• African groundnut stew over basmati rice

What are you having this week?  Are you trying out any new recipes?
