Meal Plan Monday 12.07.09

This week, I have utilized Gina’s Weight Watchers Recipes to help fill up my weekly meal plans with healthful, low-fat meals. I enjoyed every meal that I made from her site last week. The kids weren’t too crazy about the Chicken Chili, but I loved it with the modifications I made (so that it wasn’t so spicy) and had it for lunch a couple of days. The only other complaint was about the Shrimp Fried Rice — next time I need to double the recipe for my crew! Most of the lunch ideas came from The Biggest Loser 30-Day Jump Start.
Now, on to this week’s meal plans:
Sunday
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: Bacon sandwiches (Yes, real bacon…but on whole wheat bread using light mayo.)
Dinner: Beef Stir-fry
Monday
Breakfast: Ham and Cheese Breakfast Melt (30-Day Jump Start, p. 51)
Lunch: Greek Salad (30-Day Jump Start, p. 86)
Dinner: Baked chicken with Dijon and lime w/steamed broccoli and carrots and cauliflower mashed potatoes
Tuesday
Breakfast: Banana Nut Oatmeal (30-Day Jump Start, p. 61)
Lunch: pita bread pizza
Dinner: Broiled Tilapia w/spinach and roasted red potatoes
Wednesday
Breakfast: Strawberry Smoothie (30-Day Jump Start, p. 100) w/a hard-boiled egg

Thursday
Breakfast: Oatmeal (30-Day Jump Start, p. 79)
Lunch: Leftovers
Dinner: Family Night @ my sister’s. It’s Josh’s 10th birthday, so I’ll be taking a real, full-fat, honest-to-Pete birthday cake and enjoying a guilt-free single, small slice. 😉

Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: Veggie Lasagna w/salad
Saturday
Brunch: Eggs, bacon, and hash browns

They share their home with three dogs, two cats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, and seven birds.
Lots of nice variety in your menu plan this week. I will be checking out some of your suggestions. I host a weekly blog event called Crock Pot Wednesday and would love for you to join in. Come check it out.
Try center-cut bacon. 2 slice = 1 pt! With Wonder Light or Sara Lee Delightful bread, and light mayo, you could have a sandwich for three or four points.
