Meal Plans March 6-12th

My Weigh in: 240
Hubby's Weigh In: 231

My hubby wants me to help him keep track of his weight too so you'll be seeing his up there with mine each week.

Matt and I have done the oven fried chicken before and it's DELICIOUS! If you ever get the hankering for some fried chicken THIS is the way to do it. When I first served it to Matt he couldn't tell there was no skin! Skin makes it tastier and juicier but also a lot fattier. By removing the skin and just by the way it's cooked he couldn't tell until I pointed it out. Chicken legs are on sale at Price Chopper so I definitely recommend this one this week.

Recipes

Chicken Spinach Salad
1/2 bag of Spinach leaves
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 cup of craisins and/or sunflower seeds
2 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
1/2 cup raspberry vinaigrette

Toss everything together except chicken and dressing. Place chicken on top and drizzle dressing over.


Green Pizza
Eating Well Recipe
I modify this one slightly by using spinach instead of arugula, I add some crumbled turkey bacon for added flavor and I almost always make my own dough.


Pork Chops
There's no recipe for this one. Just a little salt and pepper then cook it on a non-stick skillet so you don't have to grease it with any butter or oil. Careful not to over-cook it or it will dry out!


Mexican Lasagna
Source: Woman's Day Magazine April 2009
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cups copped onion
1 zucchini, diced
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 can diced tomatoes with chiles
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can corn niblets, drained
1 can mild enchilada sauce
1/2 cup chopped cilantro or 1 tbl dried
5 flour tortillas
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fat Free Sour Cream

Heat oven to 100 degrees. Coat a 3qt round baking dish with nonstick spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 5 minutes. Add succhini and cumin and saute 5 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Stir in tomatos, beans, corn, and enchilada sauce; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
Put 1 tortilla in baking dish, top with 1 1/2 cups of mixture, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese. Repeat layering 4 times.
Cover with foil and bake 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly around the edges and cheese is melted. Cool 5 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with sour cream garnish if desired.


Crab Cakes
Eating Well Recipe
Crab Cakes are good with or without a bun. The recipe doens't include a bun even though it calls them a 'burger'. We won't be trying this with a bun.


Hamburger Hash Browns
I made up this recipe according to what ingredients I currently had or would have when I was done shopping for other things we're having this week. So we'll see how it turns out!
3 cups frozen hash browns
1 cup cup fake eggs/egg whites
1/2-1lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 slices turkey bacon
salt
pepper

Cook hash browns 3 minutes less than package instructions. Meanwhile, cook ground beef with onions until no longer pink. Cook bacon according to package instructions and crumble. 3 minutes before hash browns are done, add eggs and gently mix. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 minutes then add ground beef and bacon Mix gently and cook until hash browns are done and eggs are not runny.


Oven Fried Chicken
Eating Well Recipe
This recipe is the bomb! Takes a little while if you have to remove the skin from the chicken yourself but well worth the effort!
