Well, here are two week's worth of menus, since I never did put up last week's menu. I've strayed from LDL since the day before Valentine's Day. It was that time when I was CRAVING chocolate because I'd not eaten enough fruits, I went ahead and had some. But that just set me up for a back-sliding. Ugh!!! So now I'm struggling with getting serious again. AND I've gained a few pounds, no doubt (I haven't weighed but I can tell). I'm doing better today but even so, I've still had a slip-up (had a bite of blueberry bagel).
Tuesday: Chili
Wednesday: Salad [This is an awesome salad. Sauté some onions and mushrooms and cook some chicken breast; add this to salad veggies of all kinds. Corn and peas are a good addition as well.]
Thursday: Tacos [This is dh's favorite meal, so we have it frequently!]
Friday: Mexican Meatloaf
Green Beans
Cauliflower [Sliced and tossed with evoo, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper or just evoo and Mrs. Dash, and baked on about 400º-425º until golden brown.]
Saturday: Chicken Enchilada Bake (no tortillas)
Salad
Sunday: Meatball Pitas (I had mine on cauliflower.)
Monday: Sloppy Joes (made with ground turkey and put on Corn Thins instead of buns)
Tuesday: Tuna Salad on Corn Thins
Tortilla chips and queso
Wednesday: Chicken Enchilada Bake (no tortillas)
Green Beans
Corn
Thursday: Chili
Cornbread
Friday: Chicken Soup with No Yolks Noodles
Saturday: Same salad as above as requested by my family
Sunday: Tacos
Kids had company so I fixed something they wanted.
Monday: Spaghetti, Garlic Bread
If it were up to me, we would not repeat meals week after week. I get tired of them that way. But if dh eats something that he really likes, he'll request it again next week. When I made out my menu for this week, I told him he couldn't ask for tacos because I am getting tired of them. It is weird because I can always come up with 3-4 meals but those last 3-4 are difficult for me to come up with. How do you plan your meals?
(Me and my dd, Tiffany on an easy to climb tree limb on vacation in VA in 2007.) These are my ramblings on homeschooling and whatever else comes to mind.
Counting Down
The Holidays are over and I'm not quite ready to start a new count down yet. Maybe I should start a counting up the number of days I've stayed on my "diet".
