Menu Plan Monday

Here is our menu plan for the week!

Sunday: Tortellini Crock pot Soup

Monday: Skinny Enchiladas (I cook the chicken in the pressure cooker I got for Christmas, which I totally love! It is so easy to make the chicken and then easily shred it for recipes such as this)

Tuesday: Turkey sausage (package), Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa, steamed spinach

Wednesday: Spicy Quinoa Stuffed Avocado

Thursday: General Tso's Chicken with fried rice (using the SunBird seasoning packets)

Friday nights we usually eat out. Saturdays we either eat out or we're on our own :)

Menu Plans

I'm going to start posting our menus again. Years ago I used to post our menus, but when Facebook became more popular and I stopped blogging and therefore quit posting our menu plans.

I've had several friends ask me to share a few sample menu plans...so here are our last few weeks of menus.

Enjoy! I'll post new menu plans on Sunday nights:
------------------

Sunday: Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili (new recipe)

Monday: Chicken Spaghetti

Tuesday: Egg Rolls (frozen) with Quinoa 7 Vegetable stir fry (new recipe)

Wednesday: Sloppy Joes, asparagus, sweet potato fries

Thursday: Tortellini Crock pot soup (new recipe)

-----------------

Sunday: Pot roast, green beans and Slow Cooker Mac'n'Cheese

Monday: Spicy Quinoa Stuffed Avocado (we LOVE this stuff! I alter the recipe by not making the "sour cream" listed)

Tuesday: Soup (like, out of the can, heat it on the stove)

Wednesday: Biscuits and gravy (Grands Jr biscuits (100 cal each) and Tennessee gravy)

Thursday: Chicken Ranch Tacos (a Lotz favorite) with Mexican Quinoa (new recipe)

----------------

Sunday: Meatloaf and pressure cooker veggies (carrots & onions)

Monday: Skinny White Sauce Enchiladas 

Tuesday: Chicken Spaghetti

Wednesday: Pineapple Chicken with Stir Fry veggies (frozen)

Thursday: White Bean Chicken Chili

Menu Plan

Just got home form Kentucky. Loved the trip, but hated having to hit up the grocery store after driving all day.

Anyway, made it there and back and got a pretty good menu planned.

It is a BUSY week for me, but it's a good balance of work and socializing :)

Here's our plan for the week:

Sunday: Chicken Nuggets and/or cereal (lunch was our big meal today)
Monday: Mini Tacos
Tuesday: Cranberry Avocado Salad *new recipe

Cranberry Avocado Salad

Wednesday: Kale Stuffed Portabella mushrooms *new recipe

Kale stuffed portabella mushrooms

Thursday: General Tso's Chicken with fried rice

Looks good, huh?

Menu Plan

We'll be traveling to KY at the end of the week, so I only planned meals for Sun-Tuesday.

Trying TWO new recipes again :) Hope I'm not jinxing us by doing this two weeks in a row!

Sunday: Chicken shawarma pitas
Monday: Creamy Tortellini with spinach (doesn't that just sound delicious??)
Tuesday: Meatloaf and roasted broccoli

Have a great week my friends!

Menu Plan

Here's what we're eating this week:

Sunday: Sloppy Joes with sweet potato fries
Monday: General Tso's chicken with fried rice
Tuesday: Philly Cheese steak peppers (new recipe)
Wednesday: Turkey and black bean Enchiladas (new recipe)
Thursday: Biscuits and gravy (made with low fat biscuits)

If you follow the recipe links, most of them contain the nutritional information per serving.

And, I have to admit, I was TOTALLY WRONG about the zucchini boats from last week. I thought Craig would give them 2 out of 5 stars and ask to limit them to once/month. But, he actually really liked them! I thought they were OK (3/5 stars), but he really, really liked them. I'm glad :)

Menu Plan

Here's our menu for the week. We're trying new dishes tonight...vegetarian night!

I'm going to predict that Craig will think dinner tonight is "OK" but will request that we only do this once a month :)

Sunday: Creamy Zucchini Boats and Sweet Potato Fries

Monday: Asian Lettuce Wraps (I'm also making these stuffed fillo shells for MOPS)

Tuesday: Spicy Romano Chicken

Wednesday: Wonton tacos

Thursday: Dine out (Bob Evans for Valentine's Day with friends)

Menu Plan

Last week we did great with our meals.

On Tuesday, we used Peach preserves on the salmon since I didn't have any raspberry. It was still delish! Craig said it was the best salmon I'd made so far. Score!

We didn't end up having the chili, though, because the meat went bad before Thursday. Instead, we had our back up meal (Bertolli Chicken Florentine- its a freezer bag meal). I always have one of those on hand because they work great as a last minute meal (seriously, they head up on the stove top in 10 minutes). I don't normally include them as part of the menu because I try to make meals (rather than just heat up prepackaged food), but I keep this on hand *just in case.*

We did REALLY well with eating 1,200 calories each day :)

Now, here's this week's menu!

Sunday: Chili dogs, nachos, and stuff that others brought over for the Superbowl
Monday: Arlene's Meatloaf and roasted broccoli
Tuesday: Tailgate Sandwiches with cooked carrots
Wednesday: Chicken fajitas
Thursday: Pot Roast and asparagus
Friday: Hot dogs and beans (unless we dine out)

Menu Plan

Back in the day, I used to post my menu for the week on my blog.

A few people (who read but NEVER comment!) have asked that I do that again.

I still menu plan, so its no big deal to do up a quick post and get it out there.

I use Evernote to store my recipes, so most of the links I post will be to my Evernote account that has the recipe listed.

Here you go!

Sunday: Asian lettuce wraps (they were actually pretty good- we'll keep 'em around)
Monday: Salmon with tangy raspberry sauce and asparagus
Tuesday: General Tso's chicken and fried rice (I use the packets from the grocery store)
Wednesday: Craig has a meeting so I'll have a Monster Green Smoothie and Ryan will have tuna fish with fresh fruit as a side
Thursday: Chili (Craig's mom's recipe, which I don't have digitally yet)

I usually only menu plan for Sun-Thurs. We generally eat out Friday and Sat.

I've been pretty good about trying new recipes every week or two. This week the Asian lettuce wraps were new. They were good and I think they're healthy too.

Last week I made a corn and bean salad (cold).

I liked it.

Ryan liked it.

Craig tolerated it.

We'll have it again b/c it's easy and healthy :) Craig asked that it be limited to once/month. Fair 'nough.
