Good Morning!
Happy Monday!
This week’s meal plan will be pretty tentative. I’m not really sure what I’m craving as I’m making this menu so it might change a bit 🙂
Here is the menu so far:
Monday: Laura’s Lean burgers with sweet potato tots
Tuesday: Taco Salad- Ground turkey
Wednesday: Pizza for boys- I’ll whip something together after crossfit
Thursday: Coconut Chicken
Friday: TBD
Saturday: TBD
Sunday– Semi California Chicken Quesadilla?
Prep:
I didn’t do a whole lot of meal prepping this weekend except for a few usual things that I like to have on hand to take for lunches.
I did make an awesome Oriental Chicken Salad though:
Salad Ingredients:
- 1 bag broccoli slaw
- 2 grilled chopped chicken breasts
- 2 cups red grapes- cut in half
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds
- Oriental Ramen Noodles – crunchy (not cooked)
- Approx 1/4 cup crunchy flax with chia
Oriental Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Grapeseed oil (olive oil would work too)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
** Pile all the ingredients together
Mix until all salad ingredients are incorporated.
Pour dressing over top and mix well. Store in the refrigerator.
Fitness Plan:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday = Crossfit
I may run a couple days if I can. I am not good at running but I am trying to get back into it little by little. By little I mean run a mile or two! Yesterday Lily and I walked 2.3 miles 🙂

That salad recipe is so creative! It looks awesome! I bet I could sub the chicken for some hard boiled egg or something!

Chicken salad sounds so good right now. I love red grapes in it too. Delicious. I totally know what you mean about not knowing what you want to eat. Some weeks I know exactly what I want and other weeks I just have no idea!!

I love the addition of grapes to the salad and I would have never thought to add cereal, so creative!

That salad looks SUPER delicious and unique. I totally need to try that using seitan in place of the chicken.
