I'm watching the Grammy's while trying to meal plan. It's terrible, because the acts go between artists that I don't care about and acts that I sort-of-kind-of want to enjoy. And then there are the performances that demand I stop what I'm doing and pay attention. These are the singers who pour their heart and soul into every word and it shows. Lady Gaga, P!nk, Bruno Mars, K$sha, Patti Lupone &ndash you can't help but be enraptured by their time on the screen. But enough about music, it's time for putting together this week's meal plan.

What's In The Refrigerator

Last week I started planning with a "what's in the refrigerator" and I found it really helped with putting together meals. Knowing what I needed to use informed me for what I needed to cook.

• ½; bags of broccoli - good for three or four meals

• 1 bag of carrots medley - there are my new favorite way to get variety into vegetables.

• 6 bell peppers (whole)

• ¼ bell peppers (diced) - these are great for adding to salad

• Brussels sprouts - I have two bags uncut, and six meals worth chopped and in deli containers

• Salad greens - these expire quickly, so I need to used them all by Tuesday's dinner

• Tortillas

• Hamburger buns

• English muffins

• Naan

• Salmon (in the refrigerator)

• Shrimp (in the freezer)

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen)

• Chicken thighs (frozen, 4 thighs per bag)

• Steak (frozen), probably filet mignons, individually wrapped
