Last month’s meal plan was a partial bust. I guess I was still in cold weather foods mode. Mid-way through the month, we just couldn’t do anything involving the oven. Or the stove for that matter. Justin broke out the grill and we improvised. We blew through our frozen chicken but it was worth it to not have any pans to wash. 
This month is being dedicated to the grill with little veering and less variation. We’ve only planned for what I needed to buy at my once-monthly grocery trip. Everything else – like side dishes – will depend on what is available at the Farmer’s Market that week, hence all the “whatever”.

Oooh, I love reading people’s menus (and to-do lists). When I first started blogging (seven years ago), it consisted mostly of the aforementioned items. While I don’t post (or twitter) *what’s for dinner*, but have been thinking of doing so, I do still keep my blog quite mundane. Mundane is my favorite thing in the world.
I love making bean burgers, so I am looking forward to checking out the recipe (and reading your opinion on it).
Sorry to blog in your comments.
What do you do when your people don’t want to eat what’s on the plan? This has been my stumbling block. I am down to every other week shopping.
Yum! All sounds good. We are in radish and lettuce land now, finally. Eggs are cranking from a friends hens again and the CSA starts in 2 weeks. Can’t wait!
I went to the link for sweet potato kabobs and found the mushroom quinoa burgers. I printed that one out….they sound yummy!
I’m anxious to know how the black bean burgers come out as well.
Faith, I try to plan things I know they’ll like. The way we leave things up in the air depending on the Farmer’s Market helps make sure there is something I know everyone will like. Justin, of course, will eat whatever – even if it means drowning it in A1 or ranch. lol Zeb will usually try a bite of something new and if he doesn’t like it, will eat the side dishes or make a sandwich. Many times he’s very hesitant to try new foods but trusts my tastes, so if I say “try it like this” he will and usually likes it. Now that I’m shopping in bulk it means we always have oatmeal or mac and cheese or leftovers as alternatives. Usually he opts for a PBJ sandwich.
I am impressed by all the grilling. I will have to take a lesson from you, since my oven is kaput.
