gal friday 176 Posted March 23, 2015 I thought it might be fun to compare our meal plans for the week. Here's mine: Monday: Chili. I made a batch on Saturday. I am not the most confident cook, but I am really good at chili. I have actually gone back to (low fat) beef chili instead of turkey/chicken, because my Iron levels are low. (reduced fat cheese and bell peppers on the side) Tuesday: Tortellini salad. This is so fast and easy to make (bell peppers and broccoli are the veggie and they are in the salad. I roast the peppers and leave the broccoli raw) Wednesday: Spaghetti bolognese. Again, we are using beef (95/5) because of my iron levels, and I use Dreamfields Pasta to dramatically cut down on the carbs. (bell peppers on the side again, my 5 year old eats them like they are candy). Thursday: Lemon pepper shrimp with quinoa and broccoli. Friday: dinner out, I have no idea where yet. What about you guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,722 Posted March 23, 2015 Whatever my husband cooks for me? I know we're planning to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I think all we have in the house right now is some frozen lemon garlic shrimp, some turkey kielbasa, and some poultry italian sausage. So I imagine tonight it will be one of those things for dinner.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamg26k 479 Posted March 23, 2015 I made almond crusted chicken breast strips last night that were delicious - paprika, garlic, dry mustard, and pepper. One chicken breast cut into strips will get me 3 meals! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacktee92675 120 Posted March 23, 2015 So glad you asked. This is my first day out of liquid post-op. I'm planning to start the day with with scrambled eggs (French Laundry style), and closing out the day with lightly seasoned tuna tartar on a little puréed Nori to add a bit of Asian influence. Not sure about lunch, probably a Protein Shake. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted March 23, 2015 I made a really good pot of cabbage & white bean Soup. Most nights I like to eat light so I'll probably alternate between that and a salad with black Beans & a sunny side up egg. I use salsa instead of Salad Dressing.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
