Clean Eating Meal Plan Week 7

Little Family Adventure sometimes receives compensation and/or hosted travel and sample products related to blog posts. This story may contain affiliate links.

Meal planning has saved my sanity over the last few weeks. It has eliminated the dreaded “What’s for Dinner?” question every night. I’m making fewer trips to the grocery store each week and we’re not eating out as much. That’s not to saw I’ve been completely faithful to the plan and followed it completely. But for the most part, I’ve been really good about following each meal plan.

Clean Eating Meal Plan 7 #recipe #mealplan #cleaneating #realfood #snack #dinner #pork #lunch #breakfast

 

Last week, I had a great menu full of Mexican and Asian dishes. If you missed it, here it is again. Mid-week, the kids decided that Dad, my husband, needed a surprise birthday party on Sunday. His birthday was Sunday and we were originally just planning a small, family only celebration. The kids said, “NO, Dad NEEDS a party. Let’s give him a surprise party!” They got all excited and I hated to say no. My only rule was that it had to stay small. So I started calling a few of his friends and got the guest list squared away. Next was the meal. It my house you will NEVER go hungry. If you do, it’s your own fault.

Hawaiian Plate Lunch Macaroni SaladWe decided on a Hawaiian Luau; Kalua Pork, Macaroni Salad, Brown Rice, coleslaw, Tropical green salad, and fresh pineapple. Then there was the cake; a white cake with vanilla custard filling with fresh bananas and strawberries and a whipped creme frosting. A local bakery makes this same cake and they call it’s called the Raspberries and Creme Dream Cake. Can you see why?

This week’s menu is using a lot of party leftovers. I purposefully made extra coleslaw and pork roast because there are so many different dishes you can make with them.

Whenever you sit down to meal plan, look at your calendar and plan your meals around your families activities and events. For example you may want a quick and easy dinner when you have evening activities.  There are a couple of family events influencing my meal plan this week. We have one child getting a tooth pulled, a field trip to the zoo, and a 5K race on Saturday.

      I was always going to the grocery store before I started meal planning. Taking 3 kids to the grocery store was ridiculous. Everyone wanted some snack or treat every time we went plus I’d always forget something and have to go back. I sat down to set up a budget and realized that I was spending more than $1000 on groceries in a single month, I knew that something had to change.

      My kids really like dutch babies. I like the easy clean up and they are easier to make than traditional pancakes. I hope you enjoy the recipes.
