As a new season of fall activities approaches, I've been thinking to myself. I make the same recipes over and over again and somehow manage to have to recreate all my meal plans/grocery lists. New goal. Get my act together and have a pre-organized week of meals and a shopping list to go with it - ready to go!
Many of these ingredients I keep on hand and a few are usually not found at Aldi. Eliminate items from your list where necessary and note the items found somewhere else. I prefer to shop for two weeks of meals at a time to save time and trips - it also gives me the ability to space the healthier, lighter meals throughout or choose a less time-intensive meal when necessary.
Here's my first attempt:
Tacos
Brats with Broccoli Salad
Chicken Fajitas
Grilled Chicken & Sumi Salad
Grilled Chicken Salad & Baked Potatoes
2 bunches cilantro
8 green onions
bag of carrots
bag of celery
1 cucumber
1 head broccoli
romaine lettuce (precut iceberg to save time)
2 bags or 1 'box' of mixed greens
