Meal Plan 11/4/2013

Trying to post this meal plan every Monday has made me MUCH more committed to getting it done! We certainly don’t stick to it 100% every week, but it has been wonderful to have a plan that we ATTEMPT to adhere to!

Queen Bee Coupons: Slow-Cooker-Quinoa-Chili-Chicken — SOURCE: Queen Bee Coupons

My absolute favorite new recipe from last week was the Slow-cooker Quinoa Chicken Chilli from Queen Bee Coupons. I was a bigger fan of it than the rest of my family, but they’re CRAZY and you should NOT base any decisions on their judgement, whatsoever. It was wonderful! I reduced the spices, because the rest of my family is not a fan of spicy food (did I mention that they are c.r.a.z.y?). If you’re okay with a little more flavor than the other folks around here, just leave the recipe alone. It was very, very good! Absolutely perfect for this fall weather that we’re having!
