Week 1 Meals

This isn't going to be a super awesome popular blog. I'm just documenting my weekly meal plans to have a list to pull from. I noticed that I cannot stick to a rigid meal plan that plans my meals too far in advance, so I'm going week by week, and one day at a time in some cases. Feel free to use if you'd like.

Monday

• Breakfast - Yogurt, trail mix
• Lunch - Snacks (trail mix, granola - This was an accident. Forgot my lunch and didn't want to spend money!)
• Dinner - Homemade Chicken Noodle soup

Tuesday

• Breakfast - Yogurt, trail mix
• Lunch - Leftover chicken noodle soup
• Dinner - Publix Lemon dill salmon burgers, roasted potatoes, and edamame

Wednesday

• Breakfast - Trail mix and banana
• Lunch - leftover chicken noodle soup
• Dinner - Homemade minestrone soup and garlic bread

Thursday

• Breakfast - Trail mix and granola bar (if it ain't broke...)
• Lunch - leftover minestrone soup
• Dinner - leftover chicken noodle soup

Friday (proposed meals)

• Breakfast - Trail mix and granola bar (or Cheerios)
• Lunch - leftover edamame and roasted potatoes
• Dinner - leftover minestrone soup

Saturday (proposed schedule)

• Breakfast - Bacon, eggs, toast
• Lunch - Creole shrimp and sausage stew
• Dinner - Some kind of bake with potatoes, edamame, bell peppers, onions, and sausage

Sunday *Grocery shopping (proposed)

• Breakfast - Eggs, an apple, oatmeal
• Lunch - leftover stew
• Dinner - Something out of the pantry...probably some processed foods since I'm trying to get rid of those.

Notes:

• My original plan was to cook on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But with so many leftovers, I figured I could push Friday's meal to Saturday. 
• Froze leftover minestrone (2 servings) for next week's lunches. 
• I need more fruit in my diet! 
• After I finish eating my leftover granola bars and pre-packaged oatmeals, I will be working toward eating very few processed foods. Next weekend will be my weekend to eat out for dinner since we have tickets to a show.
• I also snacked on veggie chips and a few multi-grained crackers throughout the days. These will be eliminated as well.

Next week's proposed dinners - Since I did so much cooking this week, next week will be lazy. Remaining leftovers (if any) will be lunches
Monday: Footlong subs
Tuesday: Sandwich wraps
Wednesday: Rotissiere
Thursday: Beans and sausage with spinach
Friday: Eating out (dinner and a show!)
