    Wow Dusty, your going to eat the same thing everyday for the next month? I thought I was bad. Lol. Jk! I usually eat the same thing 2-3 times in a 10 day period. It does make cooking easier. I do have the same thing every nightfir dinner though.

    Ok, so we don't eat big dinners here. Never have. Well not since having kids. Before kids I could eat 2,500 and not gain much weight. Lunch is our big meal.

    So here's this weeks lunch menu..
    Parmesian noodles with fried (fake) chicken
    Choplet casserole (another fake meat) served on rice
    TVP burgers with sweet potatoes fries
    Stirfry and egg rolls
    Baked potatoes
    Speghetti


    So our dinners are like this ...
    Kids: cold cereal and toast or tortilla rollup with pbj or Nutella.
    Me: Whey protein shake with banana, strawberry, low fat yogurt, pb2 powder, flax meal
    Hubby: whatever he feels like pulling out of the cabnet. Hope to get him on board with me soon!!!

    Sorry for any typos...on my phone.
  • Hi, hope its ok to share, Im a newbie!

    My weeks dinners are:

    Monday: Savoury mince with basmati rice
    Tuesday: Tomato, basil and balsamic vinegar soup with crackerbread, sliced ham and a little coleslaw
    Wednesday: Pasta with franks, sweetcorn and fresh petit pois in a spicy tomato sauce
    Thursday: Mushroom soup with crackerbread and cheese.
    Friday: Roast beef with veg (one potato :( and greens) and yorkshire puddings and gravy
    Saturday: Chicken fajitas with potato wedges

    I have either...

    1 Serving of Penne Pasta, with 1 plum tomato diced and 10 pieces of Shrimp all sauteed together in EVOO.

    or

    2 Cups of Northeast Spring Mix with 1 Plum Tomato and 1 Skewer of Grilled Shimp (about 10 pieces) and 2 Tbsp of Market Basket California French Dressing (low fat)

    or

    3 to 6oz of Chicken - Purdue Perfect Portions (Pan Seared) and then I'll pick two sides from the list below:

    2/3 Cup Minute Brown Rice
    1 Cup of Steamfresh Corn
    1 Cup Sauteed Cremini Mushrooms
    1 Cup Sauteed Summer Squash
    1 Portabello Mushroom Cap

    Desert is 1 cup of Nestle Caramel Hot Cocoa (100 calories) and two Pepperidge Farm Cookies... my preference is Brussels since two cookies = 100 calories.

    Don't normally eat like this, i'm on a keto diet and am only allowed 5% of my cals from carbs. Eating the same things day in and out will keep me from accidentally eating too many carbs and throwing my body out of ketosis.

    Everyone's plans sound so yummy!

    Monday- Chicken paninis (skinnytaste)
    Tuesday- Pizza and salad(we're both craving it so I figure we better do a slice or 2 before we eat the whole thing)
    Wednesday-Chicken and Broccoli casserole
    Thursday- Thai beef noodle bowl
    Friday- open for leftovers ;-)
    Saturday- Ribs and sweet potatoes
    Sunday- A Turkey- we're starting a new SB tradition, a turkey with some healthier sides and then we'd be okay to snack on veggies. And next week's menu will have lots of turkey recipes!!

    We do our menu for Friday - Thursday because we grocery shop Friday nights, so part of our menu is already gone. We usually take one day off per week from cooking. Everything we cook serves at least 4 so leftovers are the following day's lunch.

    [Saturday] - Mini Lasagnas
    [Sunday] - Broccoli & Bowtie Pasta (Farfalle)
    Monday - Chicken Caesar Wraps
    Tuesday - Tacos
    Wednesday - Veggie Stir Fry
    Thursday - Protein Waffles

    When I grocery shop, I always plan five dinners. This way I know I'm going to hopefully stay on track for five days out of the week: This week:
    Chicken Lasagna Rollups (they weren't that great)
    Beef Stirfry
    Chicken with Shake n' Bake
    Meatloaf
    Chicken Stirfry

    I wasn't very inspired this week as you can see, but I often find great recipes on skinnytaste.com, foodgawker and pinterest.

    Monday: Steak Nachos or Burritos (still undecided). We are using a copy cat Qdoba marinade for the steak.
    Tuesday: Parmesan Tilapia and sweet potatoes
    Wednesday: Cheese Ravioli in pesto sauce and garlic bread
    Thursday: Chicken Piccata or Chicken Frances (both from skinnytaste) with a side dish.

    The weekend is still up in the air. We are getting a new foster dog on Saturday so I don't know how much time we will have to cook.
