Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. The weather has been insane lately in Philly. We went from single digits on Friday, to snow to rain on Saturday, to 40 degrees on Sunday! So when I went on my long run on Sunday, I had to hop over puddles and tons of slush…such a wet, sloppy mess!
I’m a little late, but I’m linking up with Jill Conyers and Laura of Mommy Run Fast for What’s for Dinner! Meal planning is HUGE in my life – I’m incredibly busy these days, and having my meals planned for the week are necessary for my sanity! I can never say enough about why meal planning is so great. The past week we were running low on food so it was difficult to make anything interesting…so yay for having food now!

What meals do you have planned for the week?
I cannot imagine running in that stuff. I would definitely have to find an indoor outlet for exercise if I lived in Philly.
Love your commitment to meal planning. I am great with breakfasts and dinner, but not so much with lunch. I tend to count on leftovers being available and sometimes they are not. That has tripped me up more times than I want to admit. Got to add lunches to the plan!
I think leftovers for lunch are great! I try to do that as often as I can, I just need to find more ways to add greens. I tend to struggle more with breakfast but find making meals in advance makes a big difference for me!
I love meal planning, too! It just sabres so much time (and money, too because we waste so much less).
I have been obsessed with tuna sale lately , too 🙂 it totally made me smile to see it on your meal plan.
Tuna salad will forever be a favorite lunch for me! I’m all about being as productive as I can be!
I was so happy to be out of the snow his wkend. Although Orlando wasn’t as warm as I was hoping for but still much warmer than philly. Homemade pizza…yum! I am too lazy and always order out…haha.
I love takeout pizza too but we’ve spent so much lately going out so I need to get back to home cooking!
I’m with Joli – I don’t know if I could run in slush. We’ve lived in Colorado for almost two years now but I haven’t done much running; the first winter I was busy with relocating to a new state and holding down a job working with a company in San Diego, and the second winter (now) I was pregnant and then taking care of a new baby. Next Winter… maybe I’ll be running in the snow and slush like you!
Your meal plan looks delish — homemade pizza sounds particularly good!
I love seeing what other people are eating for dinner to give me ideas!
Me too – especially since others are so much more creative than I am!
Nice week of meals, Janelle! I’m a big fan of tuna and fruit for lunch. : )
I think the weather is screwy everywhere. Other than our 22″ wallop of snow in January, we’ve only gotten a few inches here and there. It’s the darn below zero temps that really wear on me.
I’m so glad we didn’t get a ton of snow this winter, unlike last year…but YES single digits need to be outlawed! I think we’re finally getting up to the 40’s next week….I can’t wait!
