… because Sunday I was too busy stuffing my face with pancakes. 🙂
You know it’s been a great birthday weekend when the scale reads 3 pounds heavier than it did on Friday morning. Most of it is bloat and water weight, but to combat this sluggish feeling I have (I’m exhausted today after a non-stop diet of sugar for three days), I’m going to keep it clean this week. Little to no cheese, sugar, or gains will be entering this mouth until Saturday when I go on a wine tour with my mom, sister, and Bob.
I’ll give you a recap of the birthday shenanigans later this week, but since I’m already a day late on my meal plan, I figured it’d be best to post that now!
Tonight: Simple. Baked fish with lemon pepper seasoning, cauliflower rice, sauteed spinach. And going to bed as early as possible.
Tuesday: Buffalo chicken meatloaf, sweet potato fries, roasted broccoli
Wednesday: Trying this crockpot recipe and making mashed cauliflower and brussels sprouts (roasted)
Thursday: Loaded baked sweet potatoes! Using this recipe as a base, but adding other toppings like peppers and tomatoes. And not using pre-made spice mix. Yum. I kind of want to make this now but all of my ground meat is frozen.
Friday: Melting Pot has a “skinny menu” so we’re going there for dinner since my mom & sister have never been. Love that place. Love that we can avoid the cheese fondue.
What are you eating this week? I need a good, healthy, crowd-pleasing meal for Saturday night after our wine tour all day. I haven’t decided yet what to make. Suggestions?
I made sweet potato shepherd’s pie last week and it was delicious! You can make it ahead and just rewarm in the oven when you get home or do it in the crockpot. I loosely followed this recipe: http://mypaleocrockpot.blogspot.com/2012/12/sweet-potato-shepherds-pie.html
Thanks Kelly! I have a recipe that I made up that I might use. Great idea to make in advance. I think I just might do this!
