This is my first week of doing a Menu Plan Monday. In keeping with my new goals of losing 40lbs by my 40th birthday, being more organized and trying to keep better track of our finances, I figured this is a good way to roll all three of those in one.
Monday: Oven-roasted chicken, baked potato, veggies (to make it more healthy I will peel off the skin before I put it in the oven....that is big step for me, since we all know the "skin" is the best part!)
Tuesday: Sandwiches, soup (use left over chicken for sandwiches)
Wednesday: Spiral ham, sweet potato, veggies (I never used this ham at Christmas, so it has to be cooked but I will not make the glaze that comes with it)
Thursday: French Toast, cut-up fruit, turkey bacon or turkey breakfast sausage ( who doesn't love "night breakfast"??, I will use Weight Watchers Multigrain bread and egg substitute to make french toast)
Friday: Hot dogs & Hamburgers , french fries, cut-up veggies ( my 9yr old and I will eat the Healthy Ones hot dogs , only 2pts on WW , and my 16yr old and hubby eat the hamburgers, french fries are always baked in the oven)
Saturday: Homemade pizza , salad ( I want to try to find an alternative crust that is healthier, if not I will make a separate pizza for myself on an english muffin)
Sunday: Tacos , salad ( I don't use the taco shells that come with the kit, I use Baked Tostitos to have mine. I make it like a Taco Salad and I also use WW shredded cheese)

Oh, I love making pizzas on flour tortillas or using whole wheat pita pockets. Way less calories!
YUM! I like your idea for today....I think I will have that too! Thanks!
When at all possible cut out the bread and eat more veggies. For instance, when you are doing hot dog night. I would eat 1-2 hot dogs, no bun, and because you skipped the bun you can have more baked fries. (Which are better for you anyway than the enriched flour.)
The chicken is fine. I do that all the time too. I just try to eat mostly white meat. But the dark stuff won't side track you too bad as long as you eat veggies with it to fill yourself up.
I love english muffin pizzas. I used to do those all the time. On your french toast day, put the syrup in a ramekin to control the portion you give yourself.
XXOO Good job!
Great job on the meal planning!
