Meal Plan W/E 04/1

I haven't been sticking to the meal planning, consequently we've been eating out a lot and the number on the scale is going up and the number in my bank account is going down.  So with a fun weekend planned at the end of this week as well as many nights out  this week between work commitments and hockey we made a big commitment to get back on track!

We did Beef Stew in the crockpot on Sunday because it would make 8 servings and with an unseasonable winter I was looking forward to a rainy Sunday on the couch.  We also made this amazing Asian Chicken Noodle Soup (thanks Pinterest!)

We had to buy chicken at BJs because I had a chicken shortage again and I haven't really grocery shopped in the last couple weeks and I missed the chicken sale (seriously, I missed it, can you believe it!)
