A key for healthy eating for me is to plan my menu for the week. Here is how it goes FOR ME:
1. I look in the fridge and freezer and see what I have and need to use up.
2. I pull the local adds and see what is on sale:
PUBLIX: http://specials.publix.com/
KROGER: http://www.kroger.com/Pages/default.aspx
ALDI: http://www.aldifoods.com
WALMART: http://www.walmart.com/
I am always looking for chicken and salmon on sale. I usually buy my groceries Saturday and Sunday.
3. I look at last weeks menus and start the process.
This week:
Sunday Night: Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup (99 Calories per cup) Recipe to follow on Tuesday!
Monday: Grilled Chicken/Wild rice/spinach salad
Tuesday: Chuck Roast/red potatoes/carrots
Wednesday: Chicken Pasta
Thursday: Salmon (Kroger)
Friday: Homemade healthy pizza
Saturday: Take out with friends
This week I am trying to use up items I have here at the house. I should just have to buy pizza dough and salmon.
I ALWAYS MAKE EXTRA PROTEIN for me and extra protein and starch for my husband. Before we put the food up I pack our lunch for the next day. I usually triple the amount of the chicken I grill so we can use it all week for lunches or emergency dinners.
