Menu Plan Monday #2

Last week went very well considering the holiday!  I kept to the menu through Thursday.  I knew I would be eating wonky on Thursday and added that into my meal plan.  However, Friday through Sunday I was completely free styling.  I am happy to say that I stayed almost completely on plan.  Woot-woot! Today I have a Dr. appointment.  I am sure I will hear all about my weight and blood pressure.  Oh the joy!   I notice that last week I didn't include Saturday and Sunday on my menu.  That is silly because the days I am at home are the days I really need it. I get bored and want to eat.  If I have a menu to go from it would make the snack cravings a bit easier I think.  So this weeks menu will include the weekend. Monday Pumpkin Oatmeal, coffee with collagen Singing Canary GGMS Buffalo Chicken Salad on bed of spinach, raw veggies, white cake with strawberries Caramel Apple GGMS Orange Yogurt with homemade cocoa krispies...

Menu Plan Monday #1

Usually for Thanksgiving we make turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry relish, scalloped corn, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and mock eclairs...we eat so much we are stuffed almost to the point that we feel sick.  Last year, because I was on THM and thought the whole house should be too, I decided to make things healthy.  In addition to the turkey I made mashed cauliflower...NOT a favorite around this house,  stuffing from cauliflower...ummm also NOT a favorite with a vengeance, no corn and made sugar free pies using nasty tasting sweeteners and no eclairs.  To say I still haven't lived down that meal would be a complete understatement.  My oldest didn't come home for Sunday dinner for months after that AND now every time he comes here he asks if there's cauliflower in it.  Mashed potatoes are my daughter's favorite food in the whole world and I ruined that for her.  My middling kinda goes with the flow for most things and even he said it was the worst...
