menu planning – keeping it low(er) points (for those tracking them)
We are back from vacation and the first thing we did was come up with our menu for this week. Seven whole days of meals! I’m trying to stick to the latest Weight Watchers points and the husband is on the WW train with me, so we are trying a few new recipes (two are WW.)
(Breakfasts are fairly simple for us – I tend to make smoothies for me and the toddler, and I’ll eat turkey bacon along with the smoothies. Lunches are almost always leftovers from the night before.)
Sunday – Weight Watchers grilled flank steak with onions. Side: potatoes with a basil mint pesto.
These two recipes were amazing. They took a little more prep time than anticipated, so I’m glad we made them on a Sunday, rather than during the week when we have less time. These recipes will both be saved for future meals.
Monday – Grilled chicken (marinated in Chiavettas marinade) and salad.
Tuesday – Soup (for the husband), grilled cheese sandwiches (for all of us.) I am hoping to get back to ceramics class on Tuesday night and I need something quick and easy.
Wednesday – Out – we have a Groupon that needs to be used.
Thursday – Salmon packets. (Salmon with couscous, cranberries, pistachios baked in aluminum foil as individual packets.)
Friday – Homemade pizza with a whole wheat crust
Saturday – Tacos. I found a kit with whole wheat soft shells. I’m interested in trying them and we originally had this as an open day.
And there you go. Seven days of meals. Seriously, try the Weight Watchers recipes – even if you aren’t tracking Points. You won’t be disappointed!
Have you tried any new recipes lately?
