Menu Plan Monday- Week of December 12, 2011

A bit of freedom that I must confess.... 

I have left our produce Co-Op.
I know, some of your jaws may have hit the floor, but let me explain myself.
I have to say that I am a bit relieved,
I'm sad that I won't be a part of a great group of people,
getting great produce, and trying new types of food.
What I am not sad about, is the stress I felt trying to make sure we 
ate everything we bought.
Since having my 3rd child, 7 months ago,
I feel as though my life needs to be 
streamlined. 
This means not doing anything that creates a ton of work for me 
in order to have it in my life.
So as a family, we took the plunge and are heading out into the wide world of 
Whole Foods Produce. 
I feel a freedom in this because I can buy the produce thats on sale if I have time,
then come home and do the menu plan...
OR
I can make up my menu plan and what I want to make,
and buy the produce that fits.
Having these 2 options leaves me feeling free..
and that is what I am searching for right now.
{ I think I will next give up my bathrooms and living room so I can feel free in cleaning...}

SO...here's my menu plan, done on Thursday because Thursday is better than doing it on Saturday:)

Thursday:  Leftovers...wow, that was easy!

Friday:  Garlic Chicken Thighs w/ Quinoa and Salad
