So in this new year, I have refocused myself towards the goal that I started almost a year ago and am using the tools that I have in order to achieve that goal. So Rob and I had "date night" last Friday where we went out to dinner and a movie...but in the middle of that we did some menu planning and went grocery shopping.One of the secrets that I believe heavily in is planning ahead.
So we sit down and peruse WW magazines, Food Network magazines and my WW Kitchen Companion app for the iPad. We plan out usually 2 weeks at a time and exactly which meal we will be eating on which day - taking into account how many leftovers we will have for lunches, slow cooker meals we can make while lounging at home and what could be a quick meal after a nice run.
So here is what we have, starting with today:
- Sunday, January 8th - Crock Pot Mexican Chicken Stew over Brown Rice
- Wednesday, January 11th - Stuffed Cabbage Hot Dish
- Thursday, January 12th - Rosemary Pork Tenderloin with Root Veggies & Swiss Chard
- Saturday, January 14th - Williams Family Beef Stew with Crusty Homemade Bread
- Sunday, January 15th - Slow Cooker Bolognese Rigatoni with Arugula Salad
- Monday, January 16th - Stove Top Cassoulet
- Tuesday, January 17th - Jeremy's Red Curry over Brown Rice
- Friday, January 20th :: Rob's Birthday - Poulet Au Vinaigre (Chicken Thighs w Shallots in a Red Wine Vinegar - 2 of Rob's favorite things)
So what I'm going to try to do is document the making of these culinary masterpieces. More to come. GO FALCONS!!!- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
