So I learned about menu planning from Tanya. Nothing hard but one day I was at her house and she had her menu for the next week all planned out and I thought what a smart idea that is! Right now, without a job, its easier for me to come up with a dinner on the fly but why not figure this out and with the help of pinterest, I have been trying out a ton of new recipes, some of which I’ve posted on here. I think today I’m going to share with you my menu plan so if you are hungry and looking for something fun, might be of interest to you. I will add recipes as we find what we think of them. I’ve tweaked a lot of them to be more weight watchers friendly. Here is what’s on the menu for the next week or so…
Tonight – Broccoli Chicken Ring (this is a Pampered Chef recipe that will definitely need to be tweaked some but if not, it’s why I am having it on weigh in day)
Sunday – Chicken Rollatine (I’m not a big fan of riccota cheese, which is in this, so it might not be worth it but I’m going to try it anyway)
Monday – Beef Fajitas (crock pot dish as this is cake decorating class night so needed something easy)
Tuesday – Chicken Ranch Tacos (these sound yummy…will have to not include the ranch for Brittany though)
Wednesday – Beef & Broccoli (this has become a favorite in this house since the first time I made it so it’s part of the rotation now)
Thursday – Buffalo Chicken Pizza (won’t be too spicy but looking forward to this)
Friday – We are heading to the cape so dinner is being cooked by Mom
Saturday – Shepherd’s Pie (such a simple dish and I mess it up all the time…)
Sunday – Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken (so yummy)
Monday – Walking Tacos (again, another thing I learned from Tanya – THANK YOU TANYA!! YOU ARE THE BEST!! but it’s the last cake decorating night on a Monday for now)
Tuesday – Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar and Sweet Onion (This should have Thyme in it but I think Zachary might be allergic to it so it won’t be part of it)
I also have stuff for two lunches to have something different than just a sandwich – Broccoli, Grape and Pasta Salad and Chicken Mozzarella Melts. Going to be a yummy week! Will also probably do the salad that I’ve already posted on here with the Poppy Seed Dressing because I love that! Happy cooking!!
Go Julie!
