A Little Planning & Prep

After dinner Mocktail of Coconut LaCroix with a splash of Pineapple Juice. Refreshing!

Sunday was a morning of relaxing with more coffee than I needed and an afternoon of laundry, meal planning, grocery shopping and a little prep. When Mike said he was going out to mow, I pretended like I forgot I’d reclaimed that job. It was HOT out and I was happy to have him mow while I focused on meal planning.

I thought of a few salads we’ve had in the past that we both really liked and a few things to grill that we really like.

On the menu this week….

Asian Chicken Salad, Chopped Salad, Marinated Flank Steak Salad , Skinny Taste Salmon Kabobs for me and Chicken Kabobs for Mike. This will likely get us through the weekend. Breakfast and lunch is typically eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit. Hummus and Veggies seem to be a regular snack/lunch item lately.

For easy meals this week, I bought a Rotisserie Chicken to use in our salads, I Roasted pre-cut Butternut Squash, I hard boiled eggs for the chopped salad and I cut up the bell peppers for the kabobs. It feels good to have a plan for the week.
