Hubby Approved Healthy Stuff {Menu-Planning}

July 17, 2010

I’m menu-planning and grocery shopping early this week.  Why?  Well, really, I’m planning and shopping LATE . . . yeah, I totally NEVER got around to menu planning on Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday . . . you get the picture).  Ugh, that’s two weeks in a row.  TWO WEEKS IN A ROW.

(I hate to think what the scale will reveal Monday)

In an effort of full disclosure, I always get Hubby’s approval on planned meals — especially now that we are trying to eat more healthy food.  Even though this week’s menu is one of the oddest and most adventurous yet (Hello?  Kale chips?), Hubby gave full permission for what you are about to see.

And that’s just one more reason why I love him.

Saturday

Dinner:   No Grain Turkey Tacos and Baked Kale Chips

Sunday

Lunch:  Possibly lunch with friends

Dinner: Roasted Chicken, Barley Risotto w/ Fennel, Roasted Asparagus

Monday

Lunch: Roasted Chicken Salad with Oranges & Walnuts on Baby Spinach (made with Sunday’s Leftovers), Risotto

Dinner: Greek Omelet, Arugula Salad with Mango & Chicken

Tuesday

Lunch: Salad leftovers

Dinner: Spaghetti Pomodoro with Roasted Tomatoes

Wednesday

Lunch: leftovers and Spinach/Romain Salad

Dinner: Dining out with Houston Bloggers (Shangai River Restaurant)

Thursday

Lunch: leftovers with Salad (I‘m so exciting . . . I know)

Dinner: Spinach/Romaine Salad, Rosemary Chicken with White Beans & Artichokes

Friday through Sunday: Both Hubby and I will be traveling . . . he is going to a family reunion and I am going to BLOGGERS ON BOURBON!!!
