Menus on Mondays: Bikini-Bound Weekly Meal Plan, 2/18/13

In two weeks, I plan to be in sunny and warm Belize.  Kid-free, with my toes in the sand and a rum-drink in my hands.  Yep, I’m even making myself jealous.  The downside?  My pale-skin, flabby-baby-belly self is gonna be in a bikini daily soon.  There’s not much, at this point, that I can do about the pale skin or the flabby belly, but this isn’t the time to make matters worse, ya know?

We also are still feeding a crew: meals for four adults and two kids three times a day is a challenge.  With that in mind, we’re keeping it light and simple this week.  No matter your family size or need to be bikini-ready, I think these meals will satisfy and provide you with an adaptable meal plan for the week.  Hope you enjoy!

P.S. If you missed the Stacked Enchilada Recipe from last week’s menu, you missed out BIG TIME! Plan on seeing that on another Menus on Mondays Meal Plan soon!
