Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 5/08 - 5/14

Keeping it simple yet again this week. And, we are still enjoying our grill. It will be mother's day, so I want to be able to relax a bit. I deserve it right?  We have a family get together on Sunday, so most of the grilling will be done on Saturday. 

 Hope everyone has a wonderful week! 



Meal 1 – Grilled Lime Shrimp with Asparagus and Brown Rice

We were given some fresh gulf shrimp, so this will be used on the grill this weekend! You do not get much better than that!  I see I have lettuce wraps planned for every meal, but you could really put this shrimp in a lettuce wrap if you want to as well. 


Meal 2 – Grilled Hamburgers/Turkey Burgers and Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I will make both regular hamburgers and turkey burgers. One reason is my family likes regular hamburgers better, and I am still trying to not eat as much red meat. :) Lean proteins it is!  Have you tried Roasted Brussels sprouts?? Seriously, so good. 

I also think I will make a "lettuce wrap" so I can eat my burger.  I will also probably saute up some onions to go on our burgers. 


Meal 3 – Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Brown Rice

Lettuce
Brown Rice

I will "follow" this recipe. I prob will just saute up some chicken with soy sauce and onions and use this in a lettuce leaf. Making it a little easier.

Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 4/17-4/23

I have  compiled my meals and grocery list for the week.    No quantities are placed on the grocery list so that you can cater it to your needs. For example, I will double the recipe for the paprika chicken because I have 5 people to feed, and I want multiple meals to come out of it. I did not list a recipe for the hamburger steak with onions and mushrooms.  This is because I do not have one.  I will post what I do exactly but it’s pretty simple.  You season your ground beef and make into patties. You then place in a skillet and cook until done. See told you it was easy.  I will probably make myself some turkey burgers instead of using the ground beef, but this is because it fits more into my diet.  My husband and kids want regular hamburger steaks, so that’s what I’ll cook for them.  (I also have enough chicken and shrimp that I may not need to make me a separate meal. It depends on how much time I get) I did not list a b...

Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 4/24-4/30

Meals and grocery list for the week! I'll order groceries soon too.  I'm trying to keep it simple this week. No recipes needed.  I will post this weekend what I do step by step.  The Turkey/cabbage stir fry is one of my new favorite recipes.  You can transform this into anything you want. I've added soy sauce and ginger for an Asian kick,  Italian seasonings for Italian, and Cumin/chili powder for a more Mexican flavor. It is also made quick and easy by using the pre-shredded cabbage/slaw mixes.  Anything where I don't  have to chop a lot is a win for me. Enjoy! Meal Plan Meal 1 – Turkey Cabbage Stir Fry Ground Turkey Cabbage - I will use pre-shredded lettuce to save time. Recipes needed: None This is quick and easy.  You will brown your turkey. Then add in Slaw, Can of diced Tomatoes (or two), a Tablespoon (or two) of Apple Cider Vinegar and spices.  I use Salt, pepper, Garlic Powder, onion powder, and either c...

Meal Plan and Grocery List for Weekend of April 15

I have compiled my meal plan and grocery list for the week!  I did not put quantities on the grocery list because this depends on how many servings you need.  I know I will make 8-10 servings of each meal, so I will need at least 4 lbs of Ground Turkey and 5 lbs of Chicken Breasts.  I'll also adjust the side dishes.  I will be buying 4lbs of Sweet Potatoes, and 2 heads of Broccoli.  So this can be altered to suit your needs. If you want to substitute ingredients do not feel obligated to follow this line for line!  For example, on the fish recipe, I do not want to use butter.  So, I will substitute this out for either coconut or olive oil. Or lets say I don't like broccoli but love mushrooms and asparagus.  Well, roast the heck out of your mushrooms and asparagus. :)  I have learned that recipes are very forgiving (Unless you are baking!!).  I substitute ingredients all the time. You may also be thinking, "What about the kids??" ...
