wishful menu plan

So I keep forgetting to upload photos onto my computer and honestly I don't think I've been cooking that much lately. Also, for the last week I was dog/housesitting so I haven't even been home to cook. Don't worry, this will all change soon. I promise. 

I was thinking today about how I usually make menu plans for the week based on what I have at home to use, but right now I have nothing. Usually when I go shopping I can't indulge myself by getting too many things based on recipes and instead go for what's on sale or what I can make the most out of or is most basic needs. Just for fun I think I will make my menu plan backwards, based on what I would like to have and then maybe try to get the ingredients for as much as possible. It's not like they will be very fancy things, and I haven't really been grocery shopping in a while. 

Monday- lasagna, green beans

Tuesday- chicken with herbs, mashed potatoes

Wednesday- bean salad (chickpeas with vegetables), rolls

Thursday-  shrimp skewers, cous-cous

Friday- steak, caesar salad
