What a relief to be back into the menu planning and cooking mode. Last week went so well having most of our meals prepped ahead of time. I also found it very easy to eat healthy during the work week. Most of my temptation came on the weekend since I didn’t have food prepped ahead of time.
I spend a good four hours in the kitchen on Sunday. For some reason I was really in the mood to cook and bake! I ended up making most of our lunches and dinners for the week plus a few snacks. I once again have a different menu plan than the rest of my family. It worked out beautifully last week.
My Menu:
Breakfast: Rolled oats with almond milk, fruit and nuts
Snacks: Vegetables and hummus (prepped Sunday), Greek Yogurt, Almonds, Homemade larabars (made Saturday), Apple oatmeal cookies (made Sunday), Fruit
Lunches: Meatballs & Spaghetti Squash (made in slow cooker on Sunday), Quiche (leftover from Sunday night dinner)
Dinners: Chicken Avocado Lime Soup (made Sunday), Spinach Mushroom Quinoa (made Sunday, added edamame and chickpeas for protein), Buffalo Cauliflower Salad (made cauliflower Sunday), Eggs with Cauliflower Sauce (made cauliflower sauce Sunday), Protein Drink
