What's For Dinner?

Each week I have tirelessly planned what we were going to have for dinner only to not follow through simply because I didn't feel like making it. Now that I am finding meals that I can make ahead of time I wanted to share what we will be making for dinner each week and the blogs that I use to find my meals.
Have you ever noticed really fit people answer the question so evasively? "What do you have for dinner?" Their responses are so vague with "chicken and steamed veggies" and I feel like screaming can you be more specific!! Needless to say the specifics will be here and I will be charting what we thought of our different meals for the week.
This week I found this amazing blog called www.mynaturalfamily.com
She posts a ton of recipes and I chose only 4 this week since it is a short work week and I made a ton of food so I figure I can do leftovers some of the days too.
1). Paleo Lasagna
2). Santa Fe Chicken
3). Sun Dried Tomato Chicken
4). Beef Stew

Here are some pictures of what I prepped and I wish you could come into my kitchen to smell how good all of this is. For the 2 hours it took me to prep all these meals it is well worth it for the time and energy it will save me during a busy back to school work week as well as allowing myself to make sure we are eating healthy as a family. Some of the recipes called for things I had never used before like Tapioca Starch. I was able to find it at Wegman's so if there are any ingredients you struggle with finding just let me know. I can give you a rundown of what I used, but I was able to find most of the items on the list. Cost to prep all 4 of these meals which I know will last us all week was $100. To feed a family of 6 on that cost alone is a shock for us because we have been close to $200 weekly so money savings was big and that just makes this even more exciting.
Share what you are making for dinner or post a recipe you would like me to include in our family menu. I am always looking for ideas!!
Meal Prepping and I can still get my healthy shake in while I work

Sun Dried Tomato Chicken-this was still hot so the bag was steamy which is why I opened it. Smells so good
