tuesday:
dinner:
something with beans
Tuesdays are my day I meal prep all this. so Tuesday Dinner is something with all that, and something with beans.
Pinto Bean Bowls or Burrito Bowls. We can’t get enough.
I also heat up some tortillas. So people can make a taco, or eat it on the side.
big bowl of fruit + big bowl of mashed avo
meal prep:
here’s everything else I meal prep on Tuesdays and why - Tuesday is a very, very important cooking day and it takes care of us the entire rest of the week
let’s make “refried” black beans, mexican rice, creamy jalapeno, and queso (looooosely based on this bean recipe, this rice recipe, this creamy jalapeno recipe, and this queso recipe - I promise I’ll write out my recipes soon!)

some sort of pasta or rice, prepped before we leave for our Weekly Playdate

salad with goooood salad stuff for the week

thursday:
dinner:
scrambled eggs, some sort of bread, and a smoothie. repeat every Thursday.
mainly because on Thursdays, one of my goals for this school year was to leave the house every Thursday Night - either to go to a yoga class by myself, go on a date night with Brett, or do a Wine Night with my friends. so a mindlessly easy dinner every Thursday is key.
meal prep:
bake something seasonal for brett as one of my goals for this school year
freeze leftovers
friday:
something mindlessly easy:
Quesadilla Night or or Build Your Own Tostadas with Tuesday’s leftovers
or a reheated frozen meal, like the tomato soup in our freezer with grilled cheese, leftover salad, and a big bowl of fruit
