I’ve been asked to post my menu plan for a week. This week is an odd week for us, but we have been having more odd weeks lately. I have had obligations almost every night of the week for a couple of weeks. I really try to keep my nights away from home to 2 or less because I hate missing a normal dinner together with my husband. I really enjoy cooking as well. So here’s what it on the plan:
Sunday night: Arugula and goat cheese pasta salad (Sounds fancy but it was very easy. I like all in one meals and this had a whole grain pasta, veggies and protein all in it. I just had it for lunch today too!)
Monday: Late dinner at a friend’s house (I have no idea what is for dinner so I am focusing today on getting my fruits and veggies in as well as plenty of fiber.)
Tuesday: Up in the air (I typically don’t have days that are titled this but we may be trying to get together with friends for dinner that we haven’t been able to connect with on the weekends. I also play beach volleyball on this night so I eat a little before and more after I play.)
Wednesday: Baked sweet potatoes and salad
Thursday: Grilled chicken salad
Friday: Dinner at a friend’s house (Will offer to bring healthy side dish)
This week we may be eating away from home 3 nights, which makes it the majority. Like I said, this is not normal for us. We are also having salad several nights because my husband requested it. Every couple of months we will have a week where we eat mostly salads for dinner. It is a nice break from heavier foods and re-energizes our efforts of healthy eating.
So there you have it. This week requires some extra vigilance to stay on target with healthy eating. But it can be done.
Don’t forget to plan your week of eating. Healthy eating does not happen by chance but because you have a plan to make it happen!
Have a great week.
