What's for Dinner?
Planning weekly meals can be tough with work, school, kids, workouts etc. So how do you do it? For starters, you’ve heard about the 3 P’s, prior, proper, planning? It all starts with planning your week in advance. What do you have going on this week? Meetings? Boot Camp? Kids’ swim lessons? There is not enough hours in the day to get it all done. In order to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle, you need to plan a head. This should start on the weekend. Sunday is your planning day for the following week and should be dedicated to planning your dinners. Keep your breakfast, lunch and snacks the same- quick and easy. Allow for some variation at dinner.
Example Dinner Week: (servings depend on size of family).
SUNDAY: Bake 6-8 lbs of chicken breast in 1 can of diced tomatoes and chopped garlic. Cook 2 cups of whole wheat couscous or brown rice. Saute onion, garlic and zucchini in olive oil. Serve with 1 c. cooked couscous or brown rice. Great leftovers for lunch too!
MONDAY: Leftover chicken, steam broccoli with the leftover brown rice or whole wheat couscous.
TUESDAY: Chicken again with leftover rice/couscous. Add to a sauce pan, heat up with sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce. Scramble in a couple egg whites, carrots, onion, peas, (leftover broccoli) to make a great stir-fry.
WEDNESDAY: Breakfast for dinner night! Egg whites scrambled with onion, mushroom, tomato add in a tbsp of cheese. Serve with fruit and whole wheat english muffin.
THURSDAY: Healthy Pizza Night! Take the rest of chicken chopped, can of tomato sauce, sauteed onion, green pepper and garlic. Create a mini pizza with whole wheat Naan Bread (found in the grocers Deli section). Layer pizza ingredients and top with light mozzarella cheese. Bake a whole wheat Naan in oven w/toppings on 400 for 10 minutes.
FRIDAY: Treat yourself to dinner night! How about Bonefish?? Maybe a lightly grilled fish, steamed veggies (no butter) with a small salad (dressing on the side). And treat yourself to a nice glass of red wine because you had a great HEALTHY week of eating!
These are quick, easy and healthy dinner ideas for your busy evenings. Whip up and Enjoy! No more frozen dinners or drive thru windows!!
