INCOMING: Busy week!
I have long afternoon trainings at work most of the week which means a lot of make ahead prep meals and simple dinners since I probably won’t be coming home for lunch. It’s a bummer because I really enjoy being able to run home and cook some food mid-day, but it’s going to be grab and go all week! Good thing I have tomorrow off to prepare some food, because today I plan to have my butt firmly planted on the couch reading, working on my Project Life album and (hopefully) watching the 49ers kick some ass.
Here’s the plan:
Monday
Lunch: Spinach Salads with Bacon and Eggs and Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
Dinner: Deconstructed Gyro Salad
Tuesday
Lunch: Hard Boiled Eggs + Sweet Potato Hash
Dinner: Mexican Meatza + Salad
Wenesday
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Thighs and Steamed Broccoli
Dinner: Crock Pot Italian Pot Roast (recipe similar to this) + Carrots + Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Pecans
Thursday
Lunch: Sausages and Cabbage with Onions
Dinner: Pork Loin + Butternut Squash Stew
Friday
Lunch: Leftover Stew
Dinner: California Club Turkey Burgers + Sweet Potato Fries
Saturday
Lunch: Brunch!
Dinner: Must Go (or go out after a busy week!)
Sunday
Shop!

So what’s cooking in your neck of the woods? What do you cook when you have a busy week ahead?
This week will be crazy for me as well, so I have all my meals planned ahead. Warm Bacon Vinaigrette? Is there a recipe for this somewhere?
I tend to do some Sunday prep as well. I make a pot of steel cut oats for the week’s breakfasts, a batch of quinoa in the rice cooker and usually roast or sautee some veggies for quick lunches. Lately, I’ve been making a batch of soup too- stuck on a lentil lemon one right now. It’s so easy to grab and go for work lunches.
