Hey y'all! I've decided to start something new. It's called Menu Planning Monday. There are several blogs that I follow and they have been doing this for a while. With Nick gone, I don't have to cook every night and most nights, Zachary gets what he wants as do I. But with Nick coming home (very soon!!!!!!), I decided to start doing this on Mondays. There is a site I visit often, http://orgjunkie.com/ , and there are tons of menus. This week alone there were 383. That's alot of ideas to pull from. My whole outlook on food has changed since losing the weight. I am now cooking more low calorie recipes. For me, it's about the calorie count and not the fat intake. When I was about half way through my weight loss, I started to put together a cookbook of low calorie recipes. I have been trying to find these type of recipes. I have found alot of resources to help with that. So with all of that...here is my menu! I should also say that I'm not going to be starting this until Nick comes home.
Monday- Corn, ham and potato scallop, corn muffins
Tuesday- Lemon chicken, rice, peas, bread
Wednesday- Taco bake, chips/salsa
Thursday- Crock pot brisket, potato salad, bread
Friday- Country gravy w/chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans
Saturday- Baked ravioli, salad, garlic bread
Sunday- Pork chops, fried rice
For any of these recipes, let me know. Some of these are weight watchers recipes. Some are ones that I made up, like the crock pot brisket. If I can figure out how to make it in the crock pot, I will. I love my crock pot. It's a working mom's best friend.
