Weight watchers is big on planning ahead. They find that people who know what they are eating and when they are eating are more successful at dropping the lbs. Since Mr. R and I are usually unable to decide on what to eat and never have edible food in the fridge I decided to get my act together and plan meals for the week. Using my new WW materials, Rachael Ray's website and allrecipes.com I created a menu of easy meals that can be made in 30 mins or less and are low in points. I thought I would share my meals with you in case you are in my cooking challenged boat...
Sunday: tomato & mozzarella salad with grilled flank steak.
Combine mini fresh mozzarella balls, red onion, sliced black olives, and spring mix. Toss with fat free Cesar dressing. Marinate flank steak with Newman's own roaster garlic marinade. Grill steak and serve with tomato salad.
Monday: Crockpot pork with roasted sweet potatoes.
I am using pork tenderloin instead of pork chops.
Tuesday: Shrimp-n-grits.
This is Mr. Republican's favorite meal of all time. To make it WW friendly I am using reduced fat Velveeta.
Wednesday: Morningstar black bean burgers topped with corn, avocado, salsa, and romaine lettuce.I am serving this with sun chips. We have small group on Wednesday evening so a quick meal is an absolute necessity.
Thursday: Rachael Ray turkey apple burgers. To quote Mr. R, "It tastes like Thanksgiving in my mouth!" http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipes/hamburger-recipes/burger-of-the-month/apple-cheddar-turkey-burgers/article.html
I am using reduced fat cheddar, sugar free cranberry sauce, and ww english muffins.
Friday: Chinese chicken and vegetables over brown rice.
Marinate two chicken breasts in Newman's Asian marinade then grill. Toss frozen Chinese vegetables with hoison sauce, 2tbls. Serve over 1 cup of brown rice.
Happy Eatings!
