Let's see... I'll probably make lots of salads (maybe one with each dinner). I generally eat tuna with olive oil, carrots, and cucumbers once a week... Turkey soup... Brown rice with steamed veggies and free range chicken... Stuff like that! I generally don't have a ton of things planned out for the week but I usually have an idea of what I'm going to make. I'll probably do some black bean tostadas with lettuce and tomatoes on corn tortilla shells. Those are pretty fab.

everyones weekly list sounds great. I usually don't plan ahead but since my FI is now on board with me we're going to start. Oh by the way Angel79202 please do share the recipes.

I made my meal plan for the entire week and bought the groceries needed only for those meals. If you want to look at my diary feel free. I have a lot of recipes there instead of just a list of ingredients, so if anything sounds good to you, just send me a message and I will send you the recipe. :flowerforyou:

Hi folks
My main meal plans for this week are
today: perky turkey with citrus salad & sweet potato wedges
Wed: Mozzarella & red pepper melts + homemade coleslaw
Thur: Spicy bean chilli + potato wedges
Fri: Chicken & Mushroom bake + courgettes
Sat: Spiced lamb steaks + couscous & salad
Sun Hungarian Goulash + jacket potato
Mon: Cheesy pasta bake.

This menu was planned using Slimming World principals, so I'm not too sure how things will pan out with counting calories on MFP. We shall see. But now it's lunch time so I'll go and see what's in the fridge!

Crockpot Lasagna
Ingredients:
· 1 lb. lean ground beef
· 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
· 1 large jar spaghetti sauce (such as Ragu in the 1 lb. 10 ounce jar)
· 1 package (8 ounces) no-boil lasagna noodles
· 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (low fat- 2%)
· 1 lb. ricotta cheese (low fat)
· 1/4 cup milk (skim)
· 1 egg
· 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan/Romano cheese

Preparation:
Brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a little oil in a frying pan. Drain off any grease.
Add the spaghetti sauce into the browned meat mixture. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, milk, and egg. Beat until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Then mix in the mozzarella cheese and the grated cheese, so that all the cheeses are combined.
Grease the slow cooker/Crock Pot with some vegetable shortening on the bottom and sides.
Put about 1/4 of the meat and sauce mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker/Crock Pot. Put a layer of noodles on top of that (break or cut them if needed). Put about 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of that. Then repeat with sauce, noodles, cheese for another 2 layers. Top with meat sauce. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until noodles are tender.

I love this!
I do so much better when I have a list of meals and only buy/prepare what's on the list!!!!
My family has a diverse amount of dietary needs, so it also makes my life soooo much easier!! I despise (and usually blow a whole days worht of calories) when 4 pm hits an I have no meal plan!!

Sunday: homemade vegetarian Stromboli and homemade cherry cobbler
Monday: I was sick. Husband made breakfast for dinner. Which is always a big hit!
Tuesday: homemade marinara, w/ hot Italian sausages, pasta, grilled asparagus
Wednesday: Mediteranean pork chops, tomatoes w/ basil & garlic olive oil, couscous
Thursday: chicken hominy stew
Friday: attending bday party
Saturday: spice rubbed salmon, wild rice pilaf, grilled broccoli

Our snack staples are:
Yogurt
Cheese
Nuts and Seeds
Fruit (try to buy in season items)
Hummus
Carrots
Celery
Cherry tomatoes
Pretzels & Popcorn
Peanut Butter


And we always have a dessert night on Sundays, and a take out/eat out night on Fridays; both of which I guiltlessly partake in! But, with a family of 5, a homemade dessert goes pretty quickly!!!!!
