Week 9 of weekly dinner menu ideas - lacocinadeleslie.com

This week I was looking forward to getting back to our regular meal planning, especially since we didn't have any leftovers from the weekend that needed to be used up. (Love it when that happens!) We ended up having take-out three times this week, two of which don't surprise me because I usually take the weekends off from cooking. But mid-week I was blind-sinded by a migraine, so take-out again it was. I'm hoping to do better next week.

Welcome back to another edition of What's for Dinner - a weekly menu planning series with inspiration from my Cocina to yours. 

What's for Dinner: Week 8 - lacocinadeleslie.com

There were two main objectives for our meal plan this week. The first half of the week was all about using up the leftovers from last Saturday's birthday party. I'm pretty sure we had enough leftover Carnitas, Frijoles Adobados, Nopales, Mexican Rice, Pico de Gallo, and Chile de Molcajete for another party. This week I was having some tooth troubles and had a wisdom tooth removed on Thursday, so the last half of the week was all about making soft, non-spicy foods that wouldn't irritate my dental work.

Welcome back to another edition of What's for Dinner, a weekly series with menu planning inspiration from my Cocina to yours.


After ordering take-out three times last week, I was determined to get back on schedule this week and stick to our plan. I'm happy to report that there were no surprises this week and everything went according to plan. Woo-hoo! To quote one of my grandpa's favorite TV shows, "I love it when a plan comes together!" (Bonus points for whoever can guess the TV show in the comments below.)

Welcome to week six of our weekly menu plan with inspiration from my Cocina to yours.

What's for Dinner: Week 6 - lacocinadeleslie.com

I was debating whether or not to share this week's menu as our meal plan went way off course and we ended up ordering take-out three days this week. Usually we try to order out only once a week. But sometimes you just can't help it because life happens. Do you ever have those kind of weeks?

Welcome to What's for Dinner, a new weekly series with menu planning inspiration from my Cocina to yours.

I am a firm believer in that menu planning can be a wife/mom's best friend. Menu planning helps me save money at the grocery store because I only buy the ingredients I'm going to need for our meals that week. And it helps me save time because I already know what I'm making for dinner and I already have the ingredients I need. (Read more about How I Plan My Weekly Menu here.)

I love seeing what other families eat throughout the week, be it via Menu Plan Monday posts or What's for Dinner videos on YouTube. I started to share our weekly meals on the blog (and on YouTube) last year, but with so much going on in our lives it was hard to keep up. This year I'm hoping to do much better now that things seem to have calmed down some. (Knock on wood!)

So, if you're into menu planning or just need some inspiration on what to make for dinner I hope you'll tune in every Saturday to see What's for Dinner!

We had a ton of food leftover from our annual Semana Santa (Holy Week) camping trip, so this week was all about using up that food before doing our regular grocery shopping. We had so much food leftover, we didn't have to do any shopping, with the exception of milk, until Friday. Here is what we ate this week...
