Week 58

I am just keeping it real, y'all.  So real that this menu is basically the same thing as last week.  But it is easier, ant that is just fine with me.

So here it is:

Salad Pizza

Salmon plus Potato Salad

Shrimp roll-ups and Brussels Sprouts

Bean Burritos

BLATs and sweet potato fries

Week 57

Winter is finally acting like a proper winter, which I oddly appreciate.  This means it is time for braising, baking, and warming up the house with the power of the old oven.  Unfortunately, for my diet, I have injured my hip while running.  Ugh.  This means two weeks of NO activity, which is getting me down.  Because of the lack of activity, I had the intention of making the week's meals light, however somehow bacon crept in.  Bacon always has a way of creeping in.  Ah well. 

Here it is:

Salmon and Roasted Balsamic Brussels sprouts

Salad Pizza

Turkey Burgers

Hot and Sour Cabbage Soup + Bread

Pasta e Fagioli

Burrito night!  Henry recently ate at a friend's house and came home to tell me how great it was - bean burritos!  So amazing!  He asked me if we could make them - heck yes!  We can make them!  I am going to try this crockpot recipe for the refried beans - not a big fan of the canned.

Week 56

First of 2012!  Hooray!  From now on, I promise the best, and only the best, meals.  Since this is the last year on the planet (however, I thought, 1999, was also going to be the last year on the planet...), it ought to be yummy.  Which stinks when I am on a caloric restriction.  Ugh.  Ah well.  So far I have lost over ten pounds, and may have gained a few over the holiday.  But the food was worth it, my friends!  It is true that we were going through an alarming amount of butter.

So here it is for the week:

Roast chicken and Waldorf salad - in the pressure cooker

Salad Pizza

Salmon and Brussel Sprouts

Red Lentil Soup + Bread

Pesto Pasta + Roasted Cauliflower
