Menu Planning: January 11, 2013

First sushi order at Sushi Village with Rach and Bren.

Helllooo 2013!  Our year is starting out with moving out of our apartment (completed yesterday) and staying with family until we stay with more family until we stay with friends until we stay with more family until we leave for Japan.  Or something like that.

But we still need to eat, right?  Although our schedules are going to be pretty wacky, I'm menu planning, and we'll re-arrange days/meals as needed throughout the week.

Speaking of menu planning, I'm trying something new.  If you follow me on Pinterest, you'll have noticed I've been pinning insane amounts of food.  I've been clearing out my starred google reader recipes and pinning them.  It makes it so much easier to view and categorize.  I can actually see an image of the food with whatever description I want, rather then just the title of the original blog post.  I've also been using my Foodgawker account to favorite the recipes on there (same idea as pinterest, but only for images that have been accepted into Foodgawker).

While I'm still using my handy dandy pen and notebook, I've also added a calendar for dinner plan on google calendar.  I use google calendar a lot, and having our dinner plans on there might come in handy, we'll see.  Oh, and I've been using the app Out of Milk to organize my shopping lists.  It syncs to my phone, and I can email the list to my husband if needed. It has a lot of features, and if anyone is interested, I can go into more details about it later. 

So, as of this moment, here's what our meals look like for a few days..

Fri - Chicken Scaloppine (Plum Pie) w/ Mixed Greens & Cheesy Broccoli Orzo (Iowa Girl Eats)
Sat - Chicken & Black Bean Stuffed Burritos (Cooking Light) w/ Poblano Rice (What's Cooking Chicago)
Sun - Baked Ravioli Caprese (Stephanie Cooks) w/ Salad & Garlic Bread
Mon - Dinner Out w/ Friends
Tues - Leftovers
Weds - Turkey Meatloaf (Kacey's Kitcen) w/ Shredded Brussel Sprouts (Adapted from A Full Measure of Happiness)
Thurs - Portabella Mushroom Cheesesteaks (Oh My Veggies) w/ Tator Tots
Fri - Leftovers
