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

Saturday: Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Sunday: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Thanks!
