Meal Planning - week of August 5th

WOW...it's been a while:-).  I've kind of slacked off on staying in touch through my blog.   I have started training for the Spinx Half Marathon in October, along with a metric century bike ride in a couple of weeks.  I am now home for a while & focused on training and eating REAL food.  My goal is to "meal plan" for the week and share it with you.

Monday - Meatless Monday
Tuesday - Crock pot meal
Wednesday  - Chicken/Pork/Beef
Thursday - Fish
Friday - Pasta
Weekends - too hard to plan for

This week:

Monday

Southwestern Stuffed Peppers (I've posted these before)

Just omit the ground turkey.  Be sure to make your own taco seasoning...

Tuesday

Chicken Philly Sandwiches

These are delicious - I did not use Dales seasoning though.  Dales is extremely salty for my taste.  I just used organic soy sauce.  If you are trying to eat REAL - watch your bread for this.  I'm just going to stuff mine in a Trader Joe's pita or maybe go without.

Make some baked sweet potato fries & a big green salad.  If you like honey mustard - here is a yummy quick REAL dressing...

1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp. red or white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Wednesday

BBQ Pineapple Pork Kebobs

Friday

Sun-dried Tomato Brocoli Pasta

Will probably grill a piece of chicken to go along with it.

Hope you all have a GREAT week!  Enjoy!

If any of you are interested in joining us for some training long runs, just let me know!
