Menu Plan Monday

So yeah, I haven’t updated in over a week now!  I promise we are still eating, just things that I’ve already posted about.  Like this mushroom pasta, that I cannot get enough of!  And hot dogs…we did eat hot dogs a couple of times last week.  Laziness, I know, but tasty laziness!  Also, I have given up baking for Lent, so no cookie recipes to share or anything.  Sadness   I am trying to spend my evenings reading or exercising or talking to Tyler or maybe playing the wii…but no baking.  Baking typically lends itself to me overeating, a very bad habit. 

So here is my new feature, Menu Plan Monday, which many food bloggers already do but I finally realized it might be a good idea.  Helps remind me that I do have food in the fridge ready to be cooked and that Chick-Fil-A will not be sad if I don’t stop by for an easy meal.    You may notice a trend this week, all the recipes we are trying are Weight Watchers recipes.  I will post the point values for your convenience (and mine if I decide the recipes are keepers I want to try again.)  I purchased a couple of new WW cookbooks a couple of weeks ago and have spent recent evenings working on the worlds longest meal plan list EVER to make planning and cooking healthy meals a bit easier.  We shall see how it all works out!  I’d just like to fit in the only pair of capri pants I own when we go on vacation this summer.   Because 1 pair of capri pants is all I feel comfortable owning, I’d rather buy cute tops or flip flops with my money!  Not capris in a larger size. 

Monday:  Slow-Cooker Pot Roast with Veggies

Tuesday:  Pizza @ Women’s Group!  Tyler is on his own, so probably leftovers for him. 

Wednesday:  Quinoa Corn Chowder

Thursday:  Surprise Valentine’s Dinner!  Tyler is cooking so I have no clue what it will be.  Probably something yummy that takes 3 hours to make (I kid, I kid…but really dinner probably won’t be ready until 9…)

Friday:  Beef and Black Bean Chili

Saturday: Chicken Satay with Peanut Dipping Sauce

and side dishes?  I don’t really plan those out.  I did buy a head of broccoli at the store yesterday though, so we’ll eat lots of broccoli.
