Happy Mother's Day! I hope you are all being treated extra special today. I was greeted with homemade cards and gifts from my youngest boys and daughter and those always make my day! Waiting patiently for my coffee, fruit salad, and over-easy eggs for breakfast.
I am now on Instagram and have connected with different fitness people and healthy food sites. I found some great recipes from Fithealthy that we will be trying this week. Many people no longer eat pasta because of the no carb trend diets. I still enjoy a pasta dinner with veggies and use either brown rice pasta or whole wheat pasta for some added protein. I was happy to see many fitness people on Instagram doing the same.
Our week ahead includes different salads. Now with the warmer weather it's easy to grill ahead of time and then add to mixed greens, quinoa or pasta salad. Many different varieties you can experiment with for your meals.
Monday: Black Bean Quinoa Salad with Avocado, Corn, Red Pepper, Red Onion and Lime Vinaigrette and Cheese Tortillas
Tuesday: Shrimp Scampi Linguine-spicy, low fat recipe from Fithealthy
Wednesday: Grilled Flank Steak over Mixed Greens with Cherry Tomatoes and Feta Cheese
Thursday: BBQ Cobb Salad-another from Fithealthy!
Friday: Odds & Ends Night-picnic style dinner with leftovers and finger foods
Saturday: Grass Fed Beef Burgers, Grilled Portabella Mushrooms, Zucchini, and Onions with a Salad
Sunday: Chicken & Broccoli Lemon Stir Fry
As always, if there is a meal that you'd like the full recipe for please just let me know. This is just an overview of how I plan my week and involve my kids in the process. My goal is to have more families eating healthily and seeing that it doesn't have to be difficult. Planning ahead is key.
Enjoy!
Best,
Donna
