Nothing new to report on the food front, although we had a lot of food activities last week so we're trying to up the veggies this week. Also I'm hoping to get back on the bread making bandwagon.
For those of you are new to my blog I write these weekly plans to help me spend less (I kinda of love grocery shopping, yea I know I'm weird), to save time and to try and help us eat in more often. Also I love knowing what other people eat so I thought it would be fun to share. For a while I'll be adding my plans for what greens I'll be eating since one of my resolutions is to build a habit of introducing more green veggies into our diet. Maybe some day it'll be so normal for us that I won't have to mention them any more.
| Day | Main Meal | Goals (Veggies, Whole Grain, Fish) |
| Sunday | Wine and Cheese Party Apps | Grains: WW toast breakfasts and oatmeal Veggies: salad, green beans, broccoli snow peas in stir fry Fish: Shrimp, fish |
| Monday | Big Salad with Chicken | |
| Tuesday | Teriyaki Steak, Garlic Mashed potatoes and Green beans | |
| Wednesday | Fish Tacos | |
| Thursday | Shrimp and Veggie Stir Fry | |
| Friday | Tomato Wine Basil Pasta | |
| Saturday | Maybe Eat out? Try a new recipe? |
UPDATED: Janelle asked for the oven fried chicken recipe which I can't find since I haven't looked at it for a while but this is what I did last time and it turned out: 1/4 C biscuit, 1/4 C flour, a couple shakes each of paprika, salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 450. Put 1 TBS of butter in a pan (you won't need more since the chicken will release oils too) and stick it in the oven to melt. Salt raw chicken to taste douse in the biscuit/flour mixture. Place skin side down in melted butter cook 15 minutes and then flip and continue cooking until juices run clear. (This is what I did for 2 thighs and I had quite a bit of flour mixture left, if you do a whole chicken I still wouldn't use more than 2 TBS butter max.)
