Hey Everyone!
As I said in last week’s blog, as I go through the Middle Management Challenge Group with everyone in the challenge, my wife and I have decided to dedicate ourselves to planning our weekly dinner menu out on Sunday. That was one of the best things about the Ultimate Reset.
My daily food journal is also available here: CLICK HERE
So, with that, here is the menu for this week:
Monday
Tomato and Olive Penne (Vegetarian) (Recipe HERE)
This is from the book “Great Food Fast” from Martha Stewart. Just about everything we have had from that book is amazing. Just make sure you use 100% whole wheat pasta and this will be all Tier 1 and 2.
Tuesday
Steak and Chimichurri over salad
Basically, we are going to grill top sirloin (one of the leaner cuts of beef), slice it thin, and put it over a salad (or have a salad on the side) and top it with Chimichurri sauce (recipe HERE). Looking forward to this one.
Wednesday
Lentil Walnut Burgers (Vegetarian. Recipe HERE) with Sweet Potato Fries
This is another recipe from the Martha Stewart cookbook. The Lentil walnut burger patties are vegetarian patties with a great meat-like texture. We will be having them on whole wheat buns from Trader Joe’s instead of pitas because we just did pita burgers last week.
The sweet potato fries are made by peeling and slicing sweet potatoes into shoestring fries, microwaving them until almost soft, tossing in a little olive oil, and then baking on a baking sheet at 425 until desired crispiness is attained.
Thursday
Chicken Tostadas
This will be very similar to our Veggie Mex dish from last week but we will add seasoned chicken to it. So, basically, it is baked corn tortillas (bake until crispy like chips), black beans, olives, cheese, chicken, guacamole (recipe HERE), and salsa.
Friday
Shrimp, Tomato, and Basil Pasta (Recipe HERE)
Another from the Martha Stewart book. Can you tell we love that book? This has been in our normal rotation for a while. Again, just make sure you use whole wheat pasta.
Saturday
Spinach and Ricotta Pizza
We had such great results with our pizza last week (see pic below) that we decided to do another one.
Here is recipe:
Lunch and Breakfast
My Breakfast every day will be vegan chocolate Shakeology made usually with coconut milk, flax seed, almond butter, water, and ice in a blender.
Lunches include leftovers from dinners, Peanut butter and honey on 100% whole wheat (often Dave’s Killer Bread), fruit and yogurt (plain yogurt), salads with homemade dressing, etc.
More Ideas
Here is another blog of weekly menus that you can follow. These are all 90/10 recipes (or can easily be adapted).
