Apologies for not posting my menu last week – life got crazy, I overlooked my menu planning routine, and we paid for it all week long! Since I am solo parenting this week, I know I have to be organized but have also taken all the input and inspiration for this week’s meals directly from the kids.

Yesterday morning I made my plan, made my grocery list using the coolest mobile application ever – SplashShopper (go read my review) and headed to the grocery store. It feels so much better to enter the week organized!

• Monday – its Cinco de Mayo – Taco salad bowls (I even bought the big taco salad shells for this) and Churros (having your own Cinco de Mayo fun? Here is a Cinco de Mayo coloring page for the kids)
• Tuesday – Healthy take out due to crazy sports schedules. Noodles and Co., Baja Fresh or Tropical Smoothie will most likely be it.
• Wednesday – Easy Shrimp Stirfry with rice
• Thursday - BLT sandwiches, Tomato Soup and Veggies with dip (or hummus for mom)
• Friday – Make your own pizza night and fruit salad

What’s on your menu this week? Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie is the ring leader for this fabulous weekly routine and she always has great recipes herself, plus you can find hundreds of additional menus from all of the participants for the week.
