This Week The Plan

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
I finished and sent out my first batch of Compacting Christmas boxes. And they looked freaking fantastic folks! I mean seriously... I have a gift for this (If I do say so myself... "TOOT TOOT"). Photos and RECIPES will all be posted in the next couple of days. Mr F wanted me to keep what's in the boxes a surprise. But I think it would be more universally helpful to get some great gift ideas BEFORE it is too late to ship them out yourselves. Am I right? Okay then. Check back for those later.

Unfortunately this week has proven (yet again) that I cannot really do "it all". So in order to don my Martha cap (even her more zen one) I had to kind of let diet and exercise go. Fortunately I did add in drinking... so my health won't deteriorate. ;)


On to this week...

Menu:

Monday - Layered Zucchini, Corn & Bean Enchiladas (exactly what it sounds like) w/ salad

Tuesday - Turkey Meat Spaghetti Sauce w/ pasta & California mix steamed veggies (1/2 lb meat sauteed w/ grated onion, carrot, 1/2 T sugar & half a jar of sauce... double it for 2 dinners worth)

Wednesday - Brown Sugar & Ginger Salmon, rice mix & broccoli

Thursday - Salmon Noodle Casserole (finally found an organic cream o' mush soup!)

Friday - Homemade pizza (crust recipe from Bittman's How To Cook Everything)

Saturday - Pork Tenderloin w/ green beans & mashed potatoes

Sunday - Egg Crepes w/ spinach & mushrooms & Tomato Soup (boxed)

As soon as I get through the holidays I will make more of an effort to post full recipes and calorie counts (w/ pictures!) and add them to my recipes section. If I list something new between now and then you can always ask for the recipe in the comments.
