For those of you are new to my blog I write these weekly plans to help me spend less (I kinda of love grocery shopping, yea I know I’m weird), to save time and to try and help us eat in more often. Also I love knowing what other people eat so I thought it would be fun to share. For a while I’ll be adding my plans for what greens I’ll be eating since one of my resolutions is to build a habit of introducing more green veggies into our diet. Maybe some day it’ll be so normal for us that I won’t have to mention them any more.
Tomorrow is Cheesecake Day (well at least in my house). I’ve had this page for turtle cheesecake, from Gourmet Mom on the Go, open as one of my tabs for a couple weeks now and I’ve finally got a second, and space in my diet to try it out. I’m so excited I’ll report the results I hope it turns out as good as it sounds. And something totally random but I’m shocked, I know it’s crazy but I went through a whole bag of potatoes last week, we are a two person family, but I guess it was St. Patrick’s day. Now on to the rest of the week.
| Day | Main Meal | Goals (Veggies, Whole Grain, Fish) |
| Sunday | Chicken Asparagus and Rice Cream Soup and Homemade bread | Grains: WW bread, WW pasta Veggies: green beans and carrots with dip snacks, and salad for lunch, stir fry Fish: Shrimp |
| Monday | Taco Mac and Cheese | |
| Tuesday | Basil Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese | |
| Wednesday | BBQ Ribs, Corn and Tortillas | |
| Thursday | Homemade Pizza | |
| Friday | Shrimp and Veggie Stir Fry | |
| Saturday | Maybe Eat Out? |

This is such a good idea, and I think you should get extra points for making it in spreadsheet form complete with goals!
