Do you remember life before Pinterest? It’s been around almost as long as I’ve been married and I can’t really imagine planning meals without it! After almost ten years of pinning recipes to my boards, I decided that it is time for me to get in there and reorganize things.
I started with my Main Dishes board – it is now neatly categorized by types of meat (beef, chicken, etc.) or style of entree (soup, Mexican, etc.) making it easy to find the recipe I need or to get inspiration for the things I have on hand.
The weekly menu below actually covered two weeks of meals – we did a lot of leftovers and ate out twice over the last two weeks, so I put them together to give you a full week’s worth of meal ideas! These are all really delicious recipes that I love making and eating. 🙂
On The Menu
Breakfast:
- Pumpkin Cheerios with Bananas
- Oatmeal
Lunch:
Supper:
- Fiesta Lime Chicken over Rice

Everything sounds delicious! My Pinterest boards could really use an overhaul. Life before Pinterest was a binder filled to the brim with magazine clippings of recipes I wanted to try 🙂
Yes! I had a giant recipe box stuffed full of cards and magazine pages!
