Menu Planning - Week 1
I thought that I would share my menu planning with you all. I know that you have asked on and off for some of Rick's and my recipes so I thought that I would start this thread and try to upkeep it. With me starting back to work in a week I thought that this would help keep me on tract and keep my sanity. I will try to plan 4-5 meals per week for a 4 week cycle - feel free to adapt, ignore, copy for whatever works for you and your family. I'll try to post sometime on Saturday so that you have time to plan what might work for your schedule. Please share your recipe / menu ideas for meals, snacks, etc.

saves some calories]. Broccoli - cooked in the

Montreal seasoning. Green Beans - cook in the

Looks like a good recipe to try...
Hi All! I was looking for a good, non-cream based soup to try and make, maybe this weekend. I like to try and make soup because then you can have it for lunch a few days and freeze any extra for another time. This recipe looked good and I checked out the nutritional info. The fat grams seem a little high but I think that's because of the avocado and in that case it's okay because avocado's fat is "good" fat. I pasted the link below, so check it out! Jess
