Menu Plan Monday 03.31.14

It's so good to have a plan. When we have a menu, then grocery shopping is so much easier as well. 

Here's the plan for the week:
03.31- Monday
Breakfast: Cereal (CO), Eggs (S), or Oatmeal with real fruit jam (kumquat) and 1% cottage cheese (E) {something for everyone- this meal really wasn't 'planned' but this is how it turned out. Fox had cereal; Lee had eggs; I had oatmeal.}
Lunch: Tacos with pico de gallo (CO) {I went without tortilla for an S, with a dollop of 0% Greek yogurt- yum!}
Dinner: Lemon Dijon Garlic Pepper Tilapia with "Fancy" Green Beans (E), a slice of bread and butter on the side for hubby and Fox (CO)

04.01- Tuesday
Breakfast: Oatmeal (E) {the kids might not have it like I do, with fruit and cottage cheese- their loss}
Lunch: Salad with meat and cheese (S) {I skip the cheese for an E}
Dinner: Tuna tortillas (CO) {I don't eat this at all because of the cheese we put in the mix and the tortillas; instead I will have ...?}

04.02- Wednesday
Breakfast: Eggs (S)
Lunch: Grilled cheese with Light Tomato Soup (CO) -chapter 20 THM {for me instead of the grilled cheese sandwich, it will be 1/2 a piece of rye toast with Greek yogurt in place of butter (E)}
Dinner: Salad of some kind... this is prone to change since they didn't have any salad when I went shopping today

04.03- Thursday
Breakfast: Cereal (CO) {for me it'll be oatmeal (E) or eggs (S); depends how I feel that morning}
Lunch: Sammies (eggplant, meat and Swiss cheese sandwiches) (S)- chapter 20 THM {Fox doesn't like eggplant so he'll have a meat and cheese sandwich on wheat bread (CO)}
Dinner: Fake Hot Wings {this is the Boneless Wings in THM- chapter 21} with ...? The kids want biscuits which I find to be an odd combination. Usually we have veggies on the side. {It will probably end up a CO meal}

04.04- Friday
Breakfast: Egg and sausage "muffins" (S)
Lunch: Loaded Fotato Soup (E) -chapter 20 THM {FP for me, no cheese wedge and added Greek yogurt}
Dinner: Pepperoni and olive pizza! Homemade every Friday. (CO) {I usually eat oatmeal (E)...I know so boring; good thing I love oatmeal!}

04.05- Saturday
Breakfast: Cereal (CO) for the kids; eggs (S) for dh {eggs (S) or oatmeal (E) for me}
Lunch: Salad of some sort...again this might change.
Dinner: Something from the freezer...undecided

04.06- Sunday
Breakfast: Same as Saturday
Lunch: Chicken wraps (CO) {I will have an "egg" sandwich (S) using 2 slices of Coconut Flour Flatbread and mayo. I use almond milk, and yes, I use the Parmesan cheese.}
Dinner: Porkloin, mesquite bbq flavor with mashed potatoes (CO) {I'm going to make some Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes -chapter 22 THM- for myself and whoever wants to try it for an S}

Snacks can be {All the cheesy ones are for the kids, not me.}: 
raisins/string cheese
yogurt/raisins
yogurt/coconut
apple/peanut butter
apple/yogurt
wasa crackers/string cheese
wasa crackers/cheese wedge
apple/string cheese
cottage cheese/fruit
yogurt/almonds
yogurt/peanut butter

So that's the week's menu. Sometimes we switch the meals around if we aren't feeling like what's set for the day. Ah, yes and always there is water, water, water, and tea :)

Note:
S= Satisfying
E= Energizing
