Mmmm, broccoli and beef. Now you have me craving some Chinese food!
I’m a huge planner and list maker. However, I think my husband’s list would look something like…
Mon – fzn lasagna
Tue – burgers
Wed – fzn pizza
Thu – happy hour appetizers
Fri – take-out
@Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers: haha! So true.
haha this is so funny! I would totally agree! Poor Hubs wouldn’t know where to start to meal plan 🙂
@Whitney:
My boyfriends’ would be:
Mon: PB&J
Tues: PB&J
Wed: 2 Big Macs
Thurs: PB&J
Fri: PB&J
Mal did a great job planning colorful, fresh meals – yum!
My hubs is totally useless for meal planning. Right now, I live away during the week at school so he is on his own. When we first started doing this, I was so worried he would starve! He has found his own groove but it would not be approved by me (practically steaks every night and no veggies!)

I love the planning sheets! Where did you get those?
Never though of combining spinach + cantaloupe!
That sunshine spinach salad looks so good! I love oranges in my salads. And they pair so well with steak. 😀
I am totally stealing the chicken tacos and grapefruit salad meal. Grapefruit salad is one of my all time faves. YUM!!!!
Just tried the Cilantro Turkey Burgers. YUM! Thanks for the idea!
You’re welcome! Glad you liked them! 🙂
