Saturday night (4/6): Roasted butternut squash and BBQ chicken wraps
Sunday (4/7): Stromboli and asparagus
Monday (4/8): Quinoa stir-fry (This was zucchini and frozen stir-fry mix + quinoa cooked in chicken broth)
Tuesday (4/9): Thai Chicken (Crockpot) and Slaw (Amaaaaazingggg) I didn't do the pineapple or the red pepper. I used a bag of broccoli slaw that I had bought on clearance with no real plan in mind. Then I stumbled on this recipe and I knew it'd work well. I drizzled balsamic vinaigrette on it. Also, I didn't have curry powder or turmeric. After some research, I made my own "curry" powder: 1 t. cumin, 1/2 t. ground coriander, 1/2 t. chili powder, 1/2 t. ginger.
Wednesday (4/10): Leftovers with another butternut squash.
Thursday (4/11): Salsa Chicken Lettuce Wraps and leftover squash
Friday (4/12): Went out to dinner at Turkey Red. I had bread/veggies/hummus and half a steak salad. I brought Scott the moussaka.
Saturday (4/13): Took pulled pork to Scott's co-worker's house.
Sunday (4/14): Burritos made with the leftover salsa chicken (They include black beans and corn).
Sharing at Meal Planning Monday and Dinnertime Tuesday
I've been drinking a spinach smoothie every morning for the last week. I've discovered that if you put in just a pinch of xanthum gum, the texture is perfect. Smoothies for breakfast has been an adjustment. I'm used to something crunchy (uh, cereal) in the morning with my coffee. It's been months since I cut out the habit (uh, cereal) and it's tough. Almost as tough as my after dinner candy habit (that's not going away anytime soon).
Oh well. I've been drinking these on my way to work. A frozen smoothie with the heat going full force as it's still in the single digits outside. Makes absolute sense.
Spinach Shake
makes 1 large or 2 small shakes
1/2 banana (can be frozen)
Handful frozen or fresh berries (I use strawberries)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 T. (or one scoop) protein powder
1 heaping cup fresh spinach
1 pinch xanthum gum
Mix it all up in the blender! You can add ice and more almond milk if you'd like.
What are you eating for breakfast these days?
