Menu Plan Monday - February 9th



Last week I had a major melt down. Pulled out the credit card (ACK!) and went out to eat about 4 times. Including a very nice (read: expensive) dinner out with Bear. It was wonderful and tasty and romantic and I will never regret the decision to go out. The pizza, Del Taco and pizza again- that I might regret. *snerk*

The 40 clove garlic chicken was an epic failure. I got so sick from the garlic (I spread it on bread and stuff- way too much and my tummy was not pleased). That's one that I'll have to delete from the Delicious link list. :(

One of my best friends has decided to go back on Weight Watchers. I've decided to join her- I signed up for the on-line service again, with the credit card, anticipating the tax refund I *should* see on Friday.

I will be attempting to make better dinners, points wise, but I will always have to consider both what Bear is willing to eat and the cost of food. I've been focusing on budget lately and that has led me to good tasting, frugal but less "healthy" (read: higher calories, fat, etc- but darn tasty!) food. I'm hoping to use the WW recipe tool to make some of our favorite recipes healthier.

This week will be odd- I have two writing meetings this weekend so I'll be on my own but will need food for Bear, as well as Xander's birthday party on Sunday.

  1. My family loves Mexican foods-- I think they'd be happy to eat at your house all week. There's also a good recipe on 'zaar for copycat Beef Meximelts that we make a lot- you might like that one, too.

    My menu plan for the week is on my cooking blog- they're all quick and easy meals this week, as I have a crazy week ahead!
