Greatest Hits... So Far

Going into meal planning, I envisioned myself making a wide variety of exciting meals. In reality, however, this week's menu planning conversation went a little like this:

Me: "What do you want for meals this week?"

Noodle Cups Prepped for the Week

Josh: "Noodle cups. And spicy taco quinoa bowls."
Me: "So you just want me to repeat last week's menu?"
Josh: "Yes."

On the plus side, this makes things easy. Menu, grocery lists and notes are as follows:

Monday:
Lunch: Noodle Cups
Note: I bought fresh rice noodles this week because the grocery store didn't have ramen, and doing so made prepping these extra fast- I'll do that again!
Dinner: Tempeh Stir Fry
Note: I buy fresh, pre-cut veggies for stir fries. I have acknowledged that I don't like chopping veggies after work and that's okay.

Tuesday:
Lunch: Noodle Cups
Dinner: Spicy Taco Quinoa Bowls

Wednesday:
Lunch: Leftover Spicy Taco Quinoa Bowls
Dinner: Thai Stir Fry with Tofu
Note: This is cabbage, brown rice and baked tofu with peanut sauce, a knock off of a dish that one of my favorite restaurants stopped serving.

Thursday:
Lunch: Leftover Stir Fry
Dinner: Sushi Bowl
Note: This is brown rice, nori, whatever appropriate sushi fillings I have on hand and a sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin and a bit of hot mustard.

Friday:
Lunch: Leftover Sushi Bowl
Dinner: Pizza
Note: This is a lazy, homemade pizza comprised of pre-made Trader Joe's pizza dough, pizza sauce and homemade cashew ricotta, plus veggies on hand.
