What’s for Dinner?`
I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for new inspiration for my dinner menu. It’s easy to get into a rut of eating the same thing week after week. Sometimes it’s hard to think outside of the box…or pizza box.
That’s why I decided to share my dinner ideas weekly. Each week I plan 5-7 dinner ideas depending on what activities that we have on the calendar. I’ll also share my shopping list for those meals to save you even more time.
If you have any meal ideas that are favorites in your house, I’d love to hear them! Please add any ideas to the comments!
Dinner 1 – We eat fish tacos ALOT at our house. My husband and I love them! The girls sometimes swap out fresh fish for fish sticks – but we’re working on it. My 9 year old will eat an entire avocado herself with dinner!
- Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos
- Yellow Rice
- Guacamole – I do cilantro, lime and avocado, salt/pepper, (red onion and tomato if I have it). Here’s a fancy recipe.
- Black Beans
Shopping List
- Fish – Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Cod, Halibut, Tilapia
- Seasoning (I use old bay a lot for fish or some cumin/chili powder/garlic.)
- Soft Corn Tortillas – I usually find these in the international aisle.
- Shredded Red Cabbage
- Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
- Black Beans
- Avocado
- Lime
- Cilantro
- Yellow Rice
