Menu Planning Monday - 03.22.10

Heya peeps! I'm hopping back on the menu planning train!

Monday: Broiled pollock, red potatoes, broccoli (green beans for hubby)

Tuesday: Chicken, chipotle mashed potatoes (<-- from a box) (brown rice for me), green beans

Wednesday: Zataran's red beans and rice (just brown rice for me), garlic chicken sausage, broccoli

Thursday: Buffalo chicken tenders, oven baked fries, side salad

Friday: Pizza!!! I will have my favorite cauliflower crust pizza, while the hubs will get to enjoy a whole wheat crust!

If you have any questions about any of my meals, or want a recipe, ask away. :)

In other news, I totally just came clean to my coach. *sigh* I guess that's just how I roll. Poor guy probably thinks I'm a nut case with all this falling-off-the-wagon-before-I-even-get-on-the-wagon type of behavior. LOL!

For breakfast this morning, I had a boring looking plate! It was delish, though!!

Three egg whites and one whole egg over easy, a slice of lightly toasted Ezekiel bread to sop of the yolk, and an apple for dessert! YUM! It actually tied me over to meal number two, too!

I shall dub thee Sludge Cake.

SLUDGE CAKE

1/2oz (1/2 scoop) protein powder (I used ATW Cupcake Batter)

8g (1 scoop) Amazing Grass Superfood in Berry

25g (1 heaping Tbs) unsweetened applesauce

46g (3 Tbs) liquid egg whites (or 1 egg white)

Blend in Magic Bullet then cook like a pancake!

It was actually pretty darn tasty! See you after lunch! :)

Fiberrific!

I have been wanting Pad Thai for a couple days now. Dinner last night did not hit the Thai spot. Today's attempt was decent. It all started innocent enough...


I thinly sliced a head of cabbage, rinsed a can of bean sprouts, and rummaged through the fridge to see what low cal options I could mix together. I pulled out a package of shirataki noodles, spicy mustard, and soy sauce. I threw 200g of cabbage, a can of rinsed and drained bean sprouts, and the package of noodles (rinsed and drained first).


While that was cooking down, I mixed up a sauce of spicy mustard, soy sauce, and stevia. It had a zing that would put hair on anyone's chest! Stirred that zingy-ness in, topped it with a tuna pouch and crushed peanuts, and lunch was served!

I started with just half of the veggie noodle concoction, but I ended up polishing off the whole pot!... all 17g of fiber worth. LOL!

Was it Pad Thai? Not even close! but it was good, totally diet-worthy, and since I will be venturing way outta town, halfway across the state to visit my dad, this leaves me plenty of wiggle room for RED LOBSTER tonight! I fully intend on indulging in a Cheddar Bay Biscuit.

Have a great weekend Blogger-peeps!! We'll be out with a bunch of my dad's friends, so I don't know if I will be brave enough to embarrass him by taking pics of my food. ;) TTYL!
