Hope everybody had a great weekend! Today I am sharing our weekly meal plan. I try to plan our meals around our life, not the other way around.
So for example this week I have two work days that will be out of my norm. Normally I work from home. So I am able to squeeze in some dinner prep (sometimes, if work load allows) before I go to pick up my son from daycare. This week I will be at a local conference for two days, and I need some easy dinners on my plan. One freezer meal takes care of one of those nights. A store cooked rotisserie chicken with some easy sides takes care of the other.
Also, I carried over one meal that I never made last week – fish, stovetop parmesan garlic grits and broccoli. Plans for the night changed, and so we just ate leftovers the night I was originally supposed to make it. So I carried it forward to this week’s menu.
I am also trying a new recipe from the new Weight Watchers cookbook
Another recipe link I will share is my chili. I will be using turkey this week to make it a little bit leaner.

Hi Marjorie! I can’t thank you enough for your blog full of helpful tools and tips. Please continue doing this as you are such an inspiration. I wanted to know if you had a recipe for spaghetti. Mine is packed with calories. Also, can you tell if you’re able to taste the spinach in the smoothies? Thanks again!

That means the world to me Lasha!
I don’t have a specific recipe for spaghetti, but maybe I’ll write one! A few tips: I always drain the fat off my meat. Plus I volumize with adding sautéed veggies to the sauce (mushrooms, peppers, onions and garlic).
I am not able to taste the spinach in my smoothies…that is the beauty of adding it…the fruit overpowers it.

The Shrimp, Chorizo and rice stew sounds yummy!
