[Kate]

Sat- going out to a bonfire
Sun-whole wheat chicken/mushroom calzones, salad
Mon-turkey burgers, butternut squash, creamed spinach
Tue-red thai chicken curry on rice:eek: I haven't had curry in years, but I used to hate it, I am hoping my tastes have matured. cauliflower
Wed-grilled chicken chef salads, ww bread,
Thu- hopefully we are going out to eat, if not I will make pizza

Rob leaves for 8 days Thursday at midnight on a firefighter golf trip :cry:

but I will be able to serve soup or Asian every night he is gone without him wondering where the big hunk of red meat and potatoes are

Fri-pad thai
Sat-lettuce wraps
Mon-vietnamese chicken soup
Tue-chicken butternut barley soup, whole wheat bread
Wed-Spanakopita, turkey meatballs, steamed carrots/cauliflower
Thu-cauliflower cheese soup, salad, ww bread
Fri-spicey lime and chicken in lettuce cups
Sat-Filipino Chicken adobo, Pan de Sal (white bread rolls)

that last meal is to make sure I have leftovers as Rob loves Filipino food and he will be home around midnight.

[Tina]

*moves in with Kate*

[Phoebe]

I think that's GREAT!!!

I do not like picky eaters. :getyou:

[Kate]

I will have lots of new recipes to post if they are any good.

And I did all of this for $199 for 2 weeks of food (except more milk and eggs next week and I need lemongrass-- Kroger didn't carry it)

[Phoebe]

:clap:

Amazing!

[Terri]

Yum!

I'm coming over Thursday night. :D (The cauliflower cheese soup night)

[Kate]

:love:

I love that your kids will eat like this, Kate.

Oh, I wanted to be clear, the boys will whine.

Especially on Spanakopita night.

But I am also serving meatballs so they can eat them and shut it.

[Tina]

Were you cooking like this when I lived in Columbus? I missed out.

[Kate]

nope. I was eating processed crap. And I was more then 30 lbs bigger too. :nono:

My healthy eating and cooking started early summer. It feels empowering to be able to eat this good and feel good about it too.

[Lisa]

I love that your kids eat everything like that too.

I am going to do everything in my power to make this kid not a picky eater like I did with B.

[Laura]

Sounds so good! What eating plan are you following?

[megan]

Is the Vietnamese chicken soup a new recipe for you?

[Danielle]

Yummy!

[Kate]

yes-- the soup recipe is new and looks like it can be made in minutes.

I am super busy that night with scouts, so that night is http://www.recipezaar.com/28377

I am basically following WW-- I no longer count points, but I watch portions and fat, and I try to eat more veggies then anything else. Seems to be working.
