Meal Planning

Mr. Logical and I have really been trying to eat better, and to save money.  In an effort to accomplish this, I sat down this evening and made a meal plan for the week.  This week is a little weird, because Mr. Logical will be going to a wedding and my mom will be visiting, but I still made one that I think will work.  Now I just have to go to the grocery store and get everything to make dinner this week.  I'm also trying out a few new recipes from allrecipes and Pinterest, which is a good thing.  

Here is what I have planned for this week:

Grilled turkey with spinach

Turkey lettuce wraps and cucumber salad

Chicken with mushroom gravy, egg noodles, and peas (crockpot)

Grilled fish tacos and black beans

Corn, tomato, and cheddar pie

Cottage cheese salad in tomato cups

This is way more heavy on tomatoes than a normal week would be, since Mr. Logical will be gone (tomato-hater) and my mom will be here (tomato-lover).  And I budgeted one night for leftovers or going out.  I also tried to find things that would be easy to make when I get home from work, since that is hard for me.  Wish me luck!  Hopefully I can keep this up through the summer.
