Meal Plan Monday



Since it's been a crazy few months for me, I'm trying to get myself organized and back on to somewhat of a schedule.   The best way I know how to do this is to make lists, lots and lots of lists.

The first list of this week is my meal plan.   After writing this out I realized it seems to be all about ham and cheese!  

Instead of the traditional ham dinner for Easter, we have brunch at my mom's house.  I did go out and buy a spiral ham on sale thinking I would make it Sunday night when we got home but I just didn't feel like going through the whole ordeal.   Not to mention we were still STUFFED from all the yummy breakfast souffle, bacon, sausage, fruit, muffins and ice cream cake at brunch.

I'm making the ham tomorrow and then will use the leftovers to make two other dishes.    

Tonight we had pizza because I had to drive my son Nick back to college and didn't get back into town until after 7pm.  

The chimichangas are a new thing for me.   I love to eat them when I go to a real Mexican restaurant but I've never made them myself.   Honestly,  I'm not even sure what the difference between a chimichanga, enchilada, and a burrito is actually.    I figured I'm going to be adventurous and do something more then just  regular ol' tacos.  

Also, I'm going away this weekend with my mom and sister for my mother's 70th birthday, so I'm making easy dishes those days that Chris and Thomas can just heat up.     Sunday will be a "free for all" because I know I'll be getting home late and will be tired from the 4+ hour drive.  

Do you meal plan?  Do link up anywhere?   I'd love to check out other people meal plans to get new dinner ideas!
