Menu Planning for the Week of July 7th through July 13th

Post by Kchurchill5 » Fri Jul 06, 2012 12:51 pm

I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday week; whether it be Canada, US or anywhere else. I know many have posted some great photos from their Holiday get-togethers.

I had a fantastic time, and ate way too many calories. This week, is back to normal - quite a bit of work, and lots to do. Also some work in the house and taking care of a friends animals as he is on vacation. So it will be busy.

Oh how is it time to plan menus again already?

Hmm...I am all out of whack lately. My schedule is crazy now that I have dd here all the time as well as my bf. I can't seem to get into any sort of normal routine yet. I am trying to get my menus planned out, but they keep wanting to eat different things that get thrown at me mid-week. So we'll see how well I can stick to this plan...

Meal #1: Chicken Alfredo, with homemade garlic bread (bread machine Italian bread) and a side salad (using low carb pasta)
Meal #2: Miso Chicken Stir fry with steamed rice (brown rice for me) - have some chicken chunks already frozen in miso marinade in my freezer, this will just be a thrown together dish, no recipe
Meal #3: Grilled meal - steak, burger, chicken - whatever they want, plus corn (for them) & sweet potato fries (for me)
Meal #4: soup/sandwiches night - either ramen or canned or homemade, depending on what I am up to
Meal #5: Fish night (plus a piece of chicken for my bf) - I have some already prepared in my freezer, with peas or broccoli, maybe some potatoes too (for them)

plus
1 night leftovers
1 night eat out or pizza

Salad: not sure what I will make this week yet, something that can sit in the fridge and be eaten throughout the week, I'll let dd decide which kind most likely
Dessert: Chocolate Whisky Cake with Chocolate Ganache (bf requested), same recipe I have used before, only this time adding the ganache
