With a busy week ahead, I sat down this morning to plan our weekly family dinners. The kids all chimed in and helped with the menu. We decided Sundays would be our fish dinners so that made planning a bit easier! Our week ahead looks like this:
Monday - turkey meatball heroes on whole grain buns with steamed broccoli
Tuesday- whole wheat cheese tortellini boiled in chicken broth with stewed tomatoes, carrots, onions, green beans and celery
Wednesday- turkey meatloaf ,brown rice, edamame, baked kale chips
Thursday- breaded ,thin chicken cutlets, sautéed zucchini , onions and mushrooms
Friday- grilled chicken and sweet potato fajitas with peppers,onions, fresh cilantro and corn tortillas
Saturday- BBQ chicken, healthy slaw, whole grain buns
Sunday- oven baked cod, roasted potatoes ( white and sweet), roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts
Mixed greens served with all dinners as well as fruit like clementines and pear.
I love how the kids personalities come out even in their dinner picks! I usually put a little bit of a healthy twist to the menu and always include lots of veggie choices and serve a salad as well. I hope this is helpful to someone! I am happy to post the recipes. Contact me and I'll post one or all. One healthy tip, whenever I need bread crumbs for the fish or meatballs I use my Eziekiel bread. I toast a slice and then put it in the cusinart and pulse a few times. The bread makes a very healthy and tasty bread crumb that is gluten free.
For convenience , lately I have been buying an organic jar of tomato sauce for dinners like the meatball subs. Trying to keep things simple yet wholesome. Enjoy and Bon appetite!
