This is my take on a traditional Arabian rice and meat dish. It can be made with your choice of meat(chicken and lamb are the best) or meatless. It is one my favourite dishes to make for guests and my husband's most requested dish for dinner.

Making the decision to start meal planning again was definitely a great idea. I've meal planned in the past and it worked really well but I took a long hiatus. I'm hoping to continue meal planning when my husband returns(he's currently deployed**). It will definitely help our busy schedules be a lot less hectic. As expected, I spent less time trying to decide what to make and spent less money grocery shopping. Here's how my meal planning routine went:
Dinner Meals for Week 2Sunday: Beef and Potato Stew Monday: Pepper Soaked Tilapia and Penne(Recipe is already posted) Tuesday: Spanish Rice with Salsa Chicken Wednesday: Whole Roasted Branzino with Healthy Pasta Saute Thursday: Nihari and Rice Friday: Pepper Crusted Filet Mignon with Rice and Pepper Medley Saturday: Butterflied Roasted Lamb with Braised Chard and Onions The full recipes for these meals will be posted at the end of the week, inshaAllah. Week 2 PrepOne of the best parts of meal planning is that you're also able to prep ahead of time. I usually do most of my prep work on Sunday after I return from grocery shopping. I like to keep my meats as fresh as possible so all of the meats that I purchased for this week's meals will remain in the fridge. Here's how I prepped for this week's meals. Sunday: I seasoned and thawed out the meat the night before. Generally, I would've cut up the potatoes and vegetables for the stew the night before as well but I was pretty busy. Monday: Lightly seasoned tilapia fillets on Sunday Tuesday: Seasoned chicken Wednesday: No prep work needed. To save time, you can dice the vegetables needed for the Healthy Pasta Saute. Thursday: No prep work needed Friday: I plan on seasoning the Mignon on Thursday and letting it marinate. Saturday: The best way to prepare lamb is to have it marinate for at least a day so I'll be seasoning and marinating my lamb on Friday morning. Dinner Meals for Week 3Sunday: Khoreish Bamyieh with Saudi-style Basmati Rice Monday: Sauteed Lemon Tilapia with Mushroom Risotto Tuesday: Mongolian Beef with Lo Mein Wednesday: Braised Balsamic Chicken with Potatoes and Broccoli Thursday: Lasagna Friday: Cilantro and Lime Chicken with Rice and Tortillas Saturday: Pan Roasted Blackened Salmon with a Warm Salad I'll inshaAllah, post an update next week of my prep for Week 3's meals. **This is why the amount of each ingredient I use is so small. I am only cooking for myself so I generally only make enough for one big serving, sometimes two so I can have it for lunch the next day. How is meal planning going for you? What do you do as part of your meal planning routine?
