Want to Meal Plan together??

It's easier to make healthy meal choices when you have all of the ingredients ready to go & recipes ideas listed & quick to choose from.
There's no rules for how to meal plan.
You can plan certain meals for specific days,
or simply list the week's "choices."
It's ok if you don't end up following your plan; life happens.
Other bonuses include:
* A less stressful early evening
(because you KNOW what you're going to make).
* Money savings (less eating out).
* Fewer trips to the food store.
Won't you give it a whirl?
------------------------------------
Here's another thing I do....
SAVE my meal plans from the past (I email them to myself & put into a separate "meal plans" folder). Later on you can refer back to them for effortless future meal plans!

I'm making a big pot of bean friendly chicken chili right now. There is a baked sweet potato in my oven, stewed squash in a pot, and i'm going to steam my cauliflower ahead of time now. lol.
Lunches will be a grilled chicken salad with veggies and sugar free jello.
Snacks will be something, but I am not sure what yet! lol.
Dinners will be george foreman chicken breasts seasoned and two veggies of my choice!
And I'm not sure if I'll even stick to this! lol
I'm in a rut right now and have fallen off the plan a little more than I wanted to:( I've got to stick to my planned meals.
You're very creative with your meals...me? the less ingredients the better!

Ria you did great!
I get the tyson already cooked chicken (or I grill a breast spices of my choice). Add some Radiccio and Romaine Lettuce. Cucumber. Sunflower seeds or almonds. Brocolli. Romana cheese. Any other veggies you wish. and you have it! Add your dressing of choice.
I just made green chili chicken too. YUM!
Poach two chicken breasts and shread. Use a can of low sodium chicken broth adding in half an onion and garlic and pepper if you like. Bring to a slight boil, add back chicken, let it simmer until reduced by half. Add a can of green chilis (Rotel and EL Paso are great!). Simmer until all the water is soak up! Sprinkle little cheese if you like! I sometimes layer this mixture in between corn tortillas (way in to Phase 2), or you can use tortillas. I'll use it just as is with some black beans and cheese!
YUM!

Hi Susan,
I love reading what everyone is eating this week.
My other REAL chicken salad recipie is to shred a grilled breast or poach a chicken breast with garlic, pepper, and a tad a salt. In a bowl add 2 stalk celery, sweet pickle cubes, dill veggie dressing (or dressing of your choice). Sometimes, I add grapes and onions, but it all depends. Good stuff!
Ria
