Common Mistakes to Avoid

It’s more traditional to meal plan on the weekend, but since our Chicago grocery deals mostly flip midweek, and since Wednesday hump day is when numerous of us begin running out of steam, we buck the trend here and go with Wednesdays. Worth noting: wednesday: Kids had friends over for dinner, so four boys simply went through almost a whole bag of gluten free brown rice & quinoa pasta I found on clearance at ALDI the other day.

Thursday: I'm thinking Roasted Chile-Lime Chicken & Potatoes.

Is Midweek Meal Planning Worth It?

I found a clearance organic chicken at Jewel last weekend ($1.25/lb!) and threw it in the freezer, so if I can get it to thaw in time... lol. More importantly, friday: I'm feeling Crock-pottish, so maybe Salsa Chicken. (I have chicken in the freezer, but boneless skinless is discounted everywhere this week, too.) Saturday: Leftover salsa chicken.
