Meal Plan Challenge

I have big plans for next week, and I'm posting it here for anyone who wants to follow along. The reason I'm posting this today is because I use the weekend to go grocery shopping for whatever I need to buy for my meals next week. So if you'd like to follow along on my meal plans, write a list of what groceries you need and plan on some shopping today or tomorrow!

I just started scribbling my ideas down on paper, and this is what I came up with:



The left sheet is my meal plan, the right is my grocery list.




On the right side of my meal plan I also scribbled ideas and goals. Like how next week I want to make homemade honey wheat bread and homemade salsa with fresh tomatoes. I have a "grow my own cilantro" goal, and if you notice I also mapped out my workout schedule for the week.


You can find all of the following recipes in my "Recipes" tab at the top of this page. {I got my recipes from: allrecipes.com, budgetbytes.blogspot.com, and self.com.}

If you'd like to do this with me, feel free! Or you can make up your own meal plans and substitute whatever you like. I don't have an exact calorie count on all of these meals, that's something I will work on for next week.


I hope you all have a happy, healthy week!!
