Check out more Menu Plan Monday entries at I'm an Organizing Junkie.I'm backkkkkkkk!
Now that I have disbanded my little cooking business, I am back to planning on a weekly basis! And since I ma not cooking for anyone but my own family, I am excited to start experimenting and trying new recipes.
OK. Since I last checked in with Menu Plan Mondays, I have continued to keep to eating healthy and working towards loosing weight. I have successfully transitioned to real food from my liquid diet and am eating between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. My weekly program at the hospital will be ending soon, so, I decided to join Weight Watchers with a friend. I have lost about 65 pounds to day, and would like to loose about 30 more.
So, here is my menu for this week:
Monday
Breakfast - Steel Cut Oats with banana and 1 tbs organic peanut butter
Lunch - Mixed salad veggies with baked tofu and Asian Spray Dressing
Dinner - Left over chicken and veggies
Tuesday
Breakfast - Steel Cut Oats with banana and 1 tbs organic peanut butter
Lunch - Veggie Soup with roasted mushroom caps filled with peppers and cottage cheese
Dinner - Mixed salad veggies with grilled chicken and red wine dressing
Wednesday

Lunch - Veggie Soup with roasted mushroom caps filled with peppers and cottage cheese

Lunch - Left over salmon loaf and beans
Dinner - Mixed salad veggies with unstuffed turkey cabbage casserole
Friday

Lunch - Tuna melt wrap with beef broth soup
Dinner - Mixed salad with left over shrimp

Dinner - not sure - going out for dinner with my soccer team!
My food-related goals this week are:
- to journal EVERYTHING!
- stop taste testing and picking at food while cooking
That's about it!
Have a great and yummy week!
Salmon Loaf
2 cans of salmon, drained
2 eggs, well beaten
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 cup chopped veggies (I usually use assorted peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and shredded carrots)
1/2 cup bread crumbs - I usually use a mix of whole wheat bread crumbs and ground all-bran and oatmeal: just toss the two into your blender and blend away - makes a great filler! (I also add ground flax seed to the mix!)
1 cup skim milk
Crushed garlic
salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients in order. Pour into greased or "Pammed-sprayed" pan.
Bake at 400 until brown. (45 mins to 1 hour)

Good for you for joining WW. It'll keep you on track. By the way, I hope you have 2 snacks during the day.
Laura I was just looking at your weight loss stats and I am so impressed - you are pratcically at your goal!
What an incredible accomplishment!
The salmon rolls sound good! I have one child who loves salmon so much that he made up a "salmon dance" that he does every time I even mention fixing salmon.
He also does this dance in front of the fish counter at the grocery store.
We just walk away slowly and pretend we don't know him.
