When we were studying language when we first arrived in India, life was intense. Cooking, and thinking about meals, grocery shopping, was just something that was on the back burner. So I made a monthly rotation of meals, four weeks of different dinners every night. I created a grocery list for each week, and just rotated them so that i didn't ever have to think about what to buy, what to make...
A friend today suggested I post these meals, and I thought it was a great idea! I can't guarantee there are recipes for every meal on here, but hopefully they'll be helpful if you're in that season of life that is just busy and you need more structure for meal planning.
28 Meals:
1. Jambalaya and cornbread
2. Moroccan Chicken, couscous, and green beans
3. Bean Tacos, Mexican rice (make extra beans and tortillas for meals later in the week)
4. Cracker Barrel Veg Platter/or Chili and biscuits

This list is about two years old, so we have added a lot of things to our recipe index since then that we eat more often than some of these things. But they're mostly pretty easy meals! If you see anything on here that you want the recipe for, let me know!
