Since I didn't cook last week, I'm looking forward to this week's menu. A week off was nice, but I sort of missed getting my hands dirty :)
MONDAY: Chicken Patty Sandwiches and Side Salad
TUESDAY: One Pot Burrito Bowls
One pot recipes are one of my favorite things to make (I hate doing dishes!).
WEDNESDAY: Chicken Florentine Lazy Lasagna
Made in the slow cooker, this one should be a winner!
THURSDAY: Deli Sandwiches and Pasta Salad
I'll just pull everything out for sandwiches and everyone can assemble their own!
FRIDAY: Chicken Tenders, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
I got a coupon* to try out a pound of chicken tenders from the Kroger deli. I'll pick this up on my way home from work and whip up some mashed potatoes and green beans to go along with it.
What's for dinner at your house this week?
*Full disclosure: I received the coupon as a part of a BzzAgent campaign for my honest opinion and review. Interested in becoming a BzzAgent, click here.
I came up with 3 things I would try for the month of February. I'd say I did pretty good.
- I will try to drink 4 "cups" of water each day at work.
- I don't think I made it to 4 but I did completely cut out Diet Coke (hello headaches, will you ever go away) which meant I was drinking more water instead.
- I will try to work out at least twice a week.
- I knew this was ambitious and I was right. I probably averaged a once a week workout during the month.
- I will try to make 1 new healthy recipe each week.
Now it's March and here's what I'm trying.
- I will try to watch my portions.
- I've found that portion control is a big help for me. Eat a small piece of chocolate, not the entire bag. Each a cup of chili not 4 cups of chili. All things in moderation :)
- I will try one new workout each week.
- I was able to work out once a week, now I'm going to try new things. A little yoga, barre or Jillian Michaels kicking my butt will all be welcome!
- I will try to plan a family fun night once a week.
- We will each take turns choosing the food, activities, etc. that will take place during the Family Fun Night. I'm hoping this will make the winter cold pass sooner.
What will you try this month? What goals have you set for yourself?
Happy Monday! Can you believe it is March already? That means my baby girl turned 5 on Sunday ... what?! I'll share some photos from her donut party later this week.
It also means another meal plan is in the works, so let's get started. This week will be a bit different for me because my dad and step-mom are visiting for the week so my step-mom is taking over the cooking responsibilities. I'm not sure what to do with myself when I walk in the door and don't have to cook.
MONDAY: Spaghetti Pie with Asparagus
TUESDAY: Tacos
You didn't think we were getting out of having Taco Tuesday because I wasn't cooking, did you?!
WEDNESDAY: Baked Chicken with Mashed Cauliflower
She's claiming we will love this mashed cauliflower, I'll let the critics try it out and see.
THURSDAY: Dinner with the extended family
My aunt is hosting a dinner since my dad is in town, so we'll eat whatever she is making :)
FRIDAY: Kitchen's closed - dinner out!
Since it will be their last night in town, we'll go out for dinner.
