Meal plan for this week

I had good intentions of meal planning last week, and didn't.  I winged it, but it's nice to have a plan to deviate from.  :D

Ok!  Let's do this.

Monday - we have Mondays off, so it's like another weekend day at our house.  That means probably nothing for breakfast, since we'll sleep in, especially because I'm a sicky right now.

Tuesday - back to work.  Which means packing all my meals, except dinner.
  • Breakfast - yogurt + banana
  • Lunch - leftover King Ranch Chicken
  • Dinner - Pork Loin and some sort of taters, and a quick green salad
  • Snacks - assorted fruit, string cheese, and/or cottage cheese
Wednesday - I have CrossFit after work, so I will put something in the crockpot since we'll get home a bit later than usual
  • Breakfast - yogurt + banana
  • Lunch - leftover King Ranch Chicken
  • Dinner - BBQ Round Steak over egg noodles, and probably some steamed veggies for me (hubby will not care for that :D)
  • Snacks - assorted fruit, string cheese, and/or cottage cheese
Thursday - just another day in paradise.
  • Breakfast - Home made Egg McMuffin (more on this below)
  • Lunch - leftover King Ranch Chicken (good thing I don't mind the same thing for lunch!)
  • Dinner - Home made pizza with sauteed veggies and goat cheese (at least on my half) and turkey pepperoni
  • Snacks - assorted fruit, string cheese, and/or cottage cheese
Friday - FINALLY!!
  • Breakfast - Home made Egg McMuffin
  • Lunch - leftover King Ranch Chicken (this should be the last of it!)
  • Dinner - TBD right now.  After all, it's only Sunday!  Probably something with chicken.  Possibly spaghetti.  
  • Snacks - assorted fruit, string cheese, and/or cottage cheese
So...  home made Egg McMuffins are awesome for breakfast.  I take one of the regular sized cartons of Eggbeaters and pour it into an 8x8 glass pan, sprayed with Pam.  I add in salsa or sauteed onions.  Bake until done.  Maybe 40 min?  It puffs up sometimes, so I just poke it with a knife.  Cut it into 4 squares.  Let cool, and then put in individual baggies and either refrigerate or freeze.  I then warm it up in the microwave at work, top with a slice of reduced fat cheese, and put between two pieces of toast, or an english muffin.  I usually do toast, because I always have bread!
