Last week we did pretty good with our menu planning. The only meal we skipped was the the Soy Ginger Salmon, and that was only because I couldn’t get to a store with a salmon selection that looked appetizing. I will move it to this weeks menu plan.
Another side note about our menu plan last week. I cooked the Panko Crusted Chicken Tenders in coconut oil, and it turned out more like a coconut chicken. It was a nice added flavor!
I have been getting a lot of my menu plan recipes from SkinnyTaste.com. I really enjoy the layout of her site and that it has all the weight watcher recipes. However, If you know any other WW friendly websites please let me know!
Our Family Menu This Week:
Sunday: Sandwich and Salad Night
Monday: Rosemary Rolled Chicken Breasts
Tuesday: Crockpot Picadillo from Skinnytaste.
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Crock Pot Picadillo Stuffed Peppers from Skinnytaste using leftovers Picadillo from Tuesday.
Friday: Asian Pork with Mushrooms
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Sandwich and Salad Night
I’ve also begun to juice daily using my new Bella NurtriPro. I’ve been trying to cut out all soda from my diet, and add more veggies to my daily intake, and I have to tell you, so far I am in love with juicing. It’s like a glass of sunshine!
Last week I began to feel a bit run down and was worried I was heading towards another cold. I juiced 2 grapefruits, 3 oranges, and 2 large handfuls of spinach (keeping the pulp instead of straining it), and let me tell you the result was a glass full of Vitamin C.
I am pretty sure I will NEVER be buying juice at the store on a regular basis again. Even my 3 year old loves everything I’ve made and is always asking for his green juice!
Do you Juice? Do you have any favorite recipes?
What is on your meal plan this week?
If you blog a meal plan – please feel free to leave a link in the comments! I love to get ideas from others!

YUM, looks like a great weekly plan! I love using SkinnyTaste, there are so many great meals!
Thanks Melissa!! 🙂
I need to start getting a plan for weekly meals.. I always fail 🙁
I have been wanting to try weekly meal planning too!
Looks like a great plan!
great menu and I so have to try this.
I want a juicer so bad! We’re definitely getting one soon.
You will love it! I’m a wee bit obsessed!!
I love it when my wife does a weekly dinner menu. She actually writes it down for everyone to see and anticipate the night’s meal!
One thing she says is that it really helps her in “not” returning to the grocery store multiple times during the week. Also, I am a definitely a Pinterest fan when it comes to food. I find a new recipe and email it to her and my daughter (high school) and they both work it into our meal that week…win-win!!!
I always forget to scour Pinterest – I think you’ve inspired a menu plan for next week made completely from Pinterest ideas!! Thanks Dale! 🙂
i will have to check out skinny taste.
It’s a great, and extremely well organized site!
I’m making chicken enchiladas for dinner guests tonight. Other than that no plans for the week! Gotta get on it.
Oh! I’d love that recipe!
You have a great week planned.
Soy Ginger Salmon sounds right up my alley. Do you have a recipe for it?
Leilani – it’s from LaLoosh.com 😉
And since I’m being lazy – the link is in this post! 🙂 https://ourknightlife.com/2013/02/weekly-family-menu-meal-planning-2.html
On my list? Spaghetti, chicken and mashed potatoes, pizza, breakfast and leftovers. Pretty boring.
Yum! I need to do Spaghetti again soon! We love a good pasta night! 🙂
I love how you’ve got your leftovers figured in there. That’s the way to do this!
I have to do that mostly for my husband – otherwise he’s lost! 🙂
I don’t juice and I just started meal planning about a month ago – I’m loving it so far. This is our menu for the week
mon – crockpot barbecue chicken (it’s in their now, it smells divine!)
tues – herb baked chicken
wed – deli sandwiches
thurs – chicken rice casserole
fri – leftovers and/or frozen stuffs (as I call things like hot pockets!) depending on the amount
sat – soup
sunday – Angel chicken (chicken in a cream cheese/whipping cream sauce) over noodles
YUM! How do you do your herb chicken? Thanks for sharing Tammy!
Meal planning really seems to help a lot with time management as well.
I wish we had a good juicer!
I love meal plans! They make dinner so much easier, as well as food shopping!
I want to know how you make that rosemary chicken!!
It’s from the WW website – pound chicken flat. Then add Chopped, fresh arugula leaves, diced tomatoes and rosemary to center of chicken.
Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Roll up the breasts with the filling inside and place the rolls seam-side-down in the casserole dish. Bake at 425°F for about 30 minutes, basting them twice with a splash of cranberry juice. – ENJOY!
I don’t juice but have been pretty into making smoothies. I love that your meal plan only consists of really cooking only 3 times in the week. I really need to write mine out. I went to the store and bought supplies for several meals but, without a plan, I forget what to make when and some items start to go bad 🙁
I have tried to cook more – and failed. Plus I always had all these leftovers. 3-4 times a week makes it easy for me, and my family. Thanks TerriAnn!
Bwhaha – I don’t know why I wrote ‘herb’ I meant ‘spiced’ LOL – I make that in the crockpot, with a dash of this a dash of that (garlic, onion, mustard powder, paprika, salt)
Your weekly menu sounds terrific!
I am never organized enough to plan a menu but it would help if I did.
I don’t have a juicer but my absolute favorite blend was beet juice, carrots and apple.
