I'm trying to plan a week at a time which is a big change for us. I usually wander through the grocery store and decide last minute.
Me too! Starting this week. First time EVER.
So, let's see, the week consists of:
Mon: Tempeh parmesan with steamed broccoli, spinach salad
Tue: Salmon roll stuffed with crabmeat; steamed cauliflower (orange cauliflower?), grilled asparagus and a green salad
Wed: Poached eggs in spicy yogurt (a Turkish dish; I make it with very little butter and add chopped roasted red pepper to the yogurt) with cucumber/tomato salad
Thur: Shrimp or tofu stirfry with red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, etc… with brown rice/multigrain "medley"
Fri: Spaghetti squash deep-dish pie (haven't made it this way yet) with zucchini, broccoli and spinach, tomato sauce and real mozzarella cheese (just a bit ) and arugula salad.
Weekend, who knows, we'll probably be out. Will try to stick to fish & veggies.
I made some chicken breast rubbed with herbs and spices and a little salt and pepper, topped with chunky-chopped onion, drizzled with EVOO. Side of lima beans and green beans. I don't have any fudgesicles so I'm going to use my 2 cups allowance of FF milk and mix it with a teaspoon of instant coffee, a bit of cinnamon, and a splenda packet to see if it turns out good for dessert.
I just made the spinach and chicken casserole that is in the recipe section...I followed the recipe but tweaked it as Jenn did in a post that followed the recipe b/c her suggestions sounded great and her photo looked even better. It was a hit with everyone....Thanks Jenn
Spaghetti squash deep dish Italian pie: We like sauteed red peppers, garlic and onions over tomato & basil spaghetti sauce topped with RF cheese. Yum! Leftovers tomorrow night.
The planning did not work for me Monday I made a large salad for lunch, didn't eat it because I forgot I had soup left from Friday. Dinner was salad and veggie burgers. Last night DW went directly to an open mike so dinner was on my own. Tomorrow night we are going out with a friend so dinner at the pub (large salad with grilled salmon). Ah well, I'll keep working on it
Tonight - Mock cornbread casserole with an Italian seasoned filling with veggie sausage
Tonight was crack slaw. This week's version had coleslaw mix, a few snow peas, and frozen thai veggies along with veggie chicken strips and plenty of garlic.
I told a coworker about the recipe today. She needs quick and tasty meals and I know they love Chinese food. This one like the mock snack cake isn't just for dieters
Cyndi, I made crackslaw for my dinner yesterday, and had leftovers for lunch today. My version was made with coleslaw mix, mushrooms, lots of onions and garlic, and fake chicken strips. Next time, I'm going to use either chickpeas or another white bean as the protein. Can't wait to try that!
I've been away and I had to look almost a month back to find this thread. I love this one! Hope it picks up again. It gives me the best ideas for new stuff to try ...
Mine's not so exciting tonight, but here goes:
Pan-grilled Ahi tuna steaks with steamed broccoli and a huge green salad
Mine is even more dull but a good recommendation for in a hurry or away from home days. we are eating Lightlife frozen meals for dinner. They are all whole grain (rice, pasta,etc) and have the sauce on the side so you can decide how much, if any, you want. I'm making a huge salad to go along with it. I decided not to cook so made breakfasts to reheat (frittata and beans) and brought salad ingredients, veggie burgers, lightlife dinners, beans, hummus & flatout wraps. It's not as good as eating at home but a lt better than eating out every night :
