Monday night's dinner will be mocked backed ziti. I use ground turkey breast, LF ricotta cheese, NSA marinara sauce. I put that on top of spaghetti squash. Top the entire concoction with more sauce and shredded LF mozzarella cheese
I'm putting meatless chili into the crockpot. I load it with small pieces of dried veggies like squash and eggplant. They aren't noticeable but add lots of good nutrients, fiber and just make it thicker.
But what I am wondering is has anyone made the West African Chicken & Peanut Stew from Kalyn's Kitchen?
Sounds really good but this is pretty exotic for me.
Also considering the Red Lentil & Chickpea Stew.
I was thinking one of those could be Wed nite dinner (we usually host a discussion group on Wed that doesn't include dinner) so speedy crockpot adaptable meals are perfect for Wed.
I just planned out my meals for the week
Garlic shrimp with Spag squash for me and pasta for da hubs
Chicken and spinach casserole subbing 2% greek yogurt for Sour cream and reducing mayo b/c all I have is full fat
Salsa chicken bake with tortillas or rice for dh and mom and nada for me (maybe salad)
vegetarian chili with coconut flour biscuits. Personally I would consider coconut flour Phase 1 safe, 9 carb, 6 fiber in 2 T and 2 T is usually at least 2 servings (it's a very interesting four to bake with, very absorbent). There is about 2t in one biscuit. Since I'm not doing real Phase 1 (I had winter squash earlier) it's not an issue for me but just a heads up if anyone is thinking about trying it.
Pearlygirly I LOVE the red lentil and chick peso up. Made a double batch this week. My SO and I "share" food. We double soups, chills etc and exchange with each other. Keeps the grocery bill in check and nice variety too. I keep hinting though he needs to make white bean and escarole soup SOON lol
Had the chicken with bacon and cheese tonight and it was just ok. It was a recipe for Alice's spring chicken(Outbacks) but I tried to modify for phase 1. Without the honey mustard it just wasn't that great.
My beautifully planned menu for the week had one tiny flaw..... Tomorrow is the youngest's 3rd birthday. I'll have to rework the menu to make tomorrow more kid friendly.
Cyndi, why dried zucchini and eggplant? Is that just what you had on had or does it do better? I have never heard of dried zucchini.
I found a recipe for Brazilian-Style Seafood Stew that uses salmon so that's on tonight's menu. I'm going to serve it over mashed cauliflower instead of rice. I have greens to cook so those will be on the side.
