Weekly Meal Plan

We're back to the grind with school and work. I'm working Monday nights and Mr. has class on Thursday nights so we are running solo when it comes to dinner and bedtime. While Mr. is the cook, I am the ... not cook. So it's important to have some fool-proof meals I can throw at expertly prepare for our little humans (here's looking at you, pizza and pasta!). We're also trying to limit our grocery costs so we're using the Plant Based on a Budget blog for a lot of our meal planning.

Super excited for the lime tofu bowls this week!
