It's time for my weekly grocery run tomorrow. I like to cook lunches and dinners for the week, ideally even pack them ahead of time as once the week gets rolling, it's so easy to grab something unhealthy if it's not pre-planned.

I haven't fully decided yet, but here's what I'm thinking. SHARE YOURS! I need ideas!! :)

Breakfasts- PB and ezekiel bread
Lunaches-?? salad? yogurt
Dinners- turkey chili
Snacks- fruits, cheese sticks, pita chips

    I don't branch out much on my breakfast. It's always 2 eggs fried in a tiny bit of olive oil and 1/2 cup (dry ) rolled oats cooked in water with 1-2T polaner sugar free blackberry jam.

    Lunch varies- Tortilla pizzas, Sandwiches, leftovers, Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts

    Dinners for this week: Grilled Chicken breast with homemade sweet potato fries
    Ground TUrkey Taco Salad
    Broiled Salmon Fillets

    Breakfasts are often a protein bar and skim milk, I keep a selection so we don't get bored. We fast an hour before 7am mass and it can be tricky cooking and finishing before 6 :). For lunch raw veg and yogurt dip, leftovers or meat salads. Tuna, chicken, buffalo chicken, salmon, Surimi (imitation crab/lobster salad). This weeks dinners were gumbo, crockpot pork tenderloin and chicken curry soup. I made a batch of chickpea crepes as wraps for the meat salads, baked a loaf of gluten free bread and made a batch of those fabulous Babycakes NYC gluten free chocolate chip cookies. None of us is celiac but we find these carbs easy to portion control. They are richer and denser with higher protein. I usually have a big batch of dal every week but I had trouble making the kidney beans in the crockpot (never again, I am going back to my pressure cooker) and it used up my time. Chana dal, mixed dal, cutlass bean dal, black eyed pea dal. We love our lentils and beans.
