Busy Week Meal Planning

This week is busy, with school starting and various appointments. I am also trying to use up some of what is left in my pantry and fridge, for a fresh start next week. I just had a great discussion with a friend yesterday about how difficult it is to plan meals, grocery shop, then have the energy to come home and fix the actual dinner you planned. The biggest challenge with this "problem" is it is NEVER-ENDING! It comes around everyday. Possible solutions: crock-pot, freezing leftovers for future meals, accepting that dinner can just be a healthy "snack"...doesn't have to be an amazing recipe creation every night.

Here is a run-down of how this week should go:
M- Bacon, guacamole, lettuce, egg, Udi's Gluten free bread (this went two ways...a Bacon, guac, lettuce wrap & Bacon, egg, guac, lettuce sandwiches) I forgot to buy a tomato. This is a good example of how a snack can make a great dinner, very easily. When in doubt, add avocado! (Just a tip: I try to keep whole avocados on hand for slicing, but I also keep the already-made guacamole from the produce section handy in the fridge. If I have been to Costco recently, I will buy a multipack and keep them in the freezer so that I have some ready to thaw if needed. We have avocado/guacamole on hand 90% of the time!)
T-Hungarian chicken in crockpot - I am adapting recipe, will let you know how it goes and post later. Involves chicken, tomato sauce, onions and lots of paprika!
W-Sweet Potato, eggs, bacon - I didn't get around to the egg baskets from last week, but am going to get it done this week! Recipe linked in blog post from last week.
R-Smoky Paleo Chili - I have a wonderful Smoky BBQ chili recipe that I need to adapt Paleo, add meat, take out the beans. I will post that soon, too. Uses chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, I have them frozen in single servings in the freezer. 1 can of chipotle peppers goes a long way!
F & Sat - family coming to visit, so we are eating leftovers (sweet potato egg baskets & paleo chili) and eating out!
