Menu Plan Monday: Week of August 13, 2012

Well I broke the plateau curse, I am down another 2 pounds.  Hubby is plateaued now!  I guess I gave it to  him!!! tee hee.  I had a reader tell me about her hubby who lost a lot of weight and he introduced a tad bit more calories to trick the body.  Thats what I did.  I was eating so little that I guess my body wanted to hold onto whats left.  My middle is getting so thin, it looks like I work out. Crazy man!

I literally spent like $20 on food this week.  I still have leftover meats from purchasing two sets of 5 for $20 at the store last week.  It is crazy how much less we eat now.  I picked up more dollar frozen veggies, eggs, lettuces and Paleo approved Salami!!  My son has been enjoying what he calls a Reeces Peanut Bitter Cup Sandwich for lunch.  One of the bread slices is Nutella (oh the sugar horrors I know) and the other is Peanut butter.  He says its like he smooshed the candy between the bread slices!!! ;-)  Now if only I can find a better Hazlenut spread, a HEALTHY one!?!?!?!?!  It is mandatory that he bring a raw veggie and a pure unprocessed piece of fruit so I feel better about the whole thing.

I have been baking like a mad woman this weekend.  So far I made an Apple Coffee Cake,

Sunday:

Rosemary Chicken, Cauliflower Rice and French Green Beans

Monday:

Green Leaf Lettuce Tacos.  Oh how we all love this so much!  It is so messy tho as lettuce does not hold in the juices!  ;-D

Tuesday:

Stuffed Bell Peppers.  I made pizza sauce the other day which will convert nicely into pepper stuffing.  I'll just add cauliflower rice and ground turkey.

Wednesday:

Pork Stir fry with onions and cabbage.  I love adding whatever veggies I have leftover from earlier in the week,  We never waste a drop around here!

Thursday:

Filet Minion, Sauteed Mushrooms and Spinach.  Still had two left from last time.  

Friday: 

Roasted Chicken Legs, Cauliflower Rice, and Whatever Dark Green veggie we have left.
