Planning ahead : week of 1/16

Ben and I just got back from sunny Dallas, visiting his folks, and I am ready to get back to structure. My first attempt is to plan for the weeks meals for two reasons: to keep me from spending over $100 at Wholefoods as I tend to shop with my eyes and to keep us from throwing together dinner on a whim that may end up being not-too-healthy. This is also a great chance to try out some lovely looking recipes from some recently discovered blogs.

So here's the plan:

Sunday 1/15:
-dinner: swiss chard, chickpea and tamarind stew

Monday 1/16:
-breakfast: chai spiced multigrain porridge
-lunch: leftover stew
-dinner: roasted sesame winter slaw with shredded chicken

Tuesday 1/17:
-breakfast: porridge
-lunch: leftover slaw
-dinner: the ultimate winter couscous

Wednesday 1/18:
-breakfast: porridge
-lunch: leftover couscous
-dinner: mighty grain salad and tofu

Thursday 1/19:
-breakfast: porridge
-lunch: leftover grain salad
-dinner: creamy fava bean spread and salmon

Friday 1/20:
-breakfast: porridge
-lunch: leftover fava bean and salmon
-dinner: spaghetti squash casserole

Doing this is also motivation for me to get my butt in gear with posting on this here blog...

more soon...

love, N
