The "Life Will Be Different This Week" Edition.....
Hubs has a colonoscopy a week from today so this meal plan is very strange. We were on a high fiber diet of fresh produce and salads along with meats/fish with very few carby/starchy foods. This week will be different for him but I'll be sticking with our usual menu.
Here's a photo Hubs took of me all decked out in the clothing from Talbot's Sissie curated for me last December when we visited. I was sorely in need of new clothing after losing a lot of weight. Those pants are suppose to be capri length but I have shrunk in height so much that they are long pants on me. lol
And my dog photo bombed the picture too. 8-)))
Onward to the meal planning!
This is what was planned for last week...........
1. Sunday--Steak, Leftover Green Beans
2. Monday--Hamburgers on Buns, Corn on cob, Pasta Salad
3. Tuesday--General Tso Chicken, Green Beans, Leftover Rice
4. Wednesday-Salmon, Sauté Yellow Squash
5. Thursday--Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Broccoli, Red Cabbage(Hubs)
6. Friday--Catfish dinner, Cole Slaw, other Leftover Veggies
7. Saturday--Chicken, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole
And here's what actually happened....
1. Sunday--Steak, Leftover Green Beans
2. Monday--Hamburgers on Buns, Corn on cob
3. Tuesday--General Tso Chicken, Green Beans, Leftover Rice
4. Wednesday-Salmon, Sauté Yellow Squash
5. Thursday--Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Caesar Salad
6. Friday--Some Nasty Hamburger Helper Concoction, Roasted Broccoli
7. Saturday--Leftovers(I had General Tso Chicken, Green Beans in Hoisin Sauce, Rice)
Friday's dinner was something we had in the pantry and wanted to use up-a BBQ Hamburger Helper? We added corn and cheddar cheese to make it better. Don't think anything could have improved it! lolz But we ate it.
I never did make the Pasta Salad for Memorial day and Hubs forgot to have his Red Cabbage thing from Aldi on Thursday. I might make Pasta Salad next week as Hubs likes it. Hubs had to do a low fiber diet the week before his Colonoscopy(I didn't have to do that last year but I guess it's his butt doctor's way lol)but I don't think he can have Pasta Salad because there is raw veggie in it.
I had lots of fresh veggies in the fridge so trying to use them up before today when the Low Fiber thing starts. We may be eating very different things this week when it comes to veg. ;-)

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any deals on food at your stores this week?
