Meal Plan Week of 1/30/2011

I've actually been working on our meal plans lately, even though I haven't been posting them. I have one from last week in my Control Journal and I just finished the one I'm going to post on my calendar for this week. I'm starting to get into a routine of going to the grocery store Sunday after church. The past two weeks I've just made sure I had meals I could do from what I was getting at the store and then I worked the meal plan on paper later. Here's this week - Sunday and Monday are over, but they were good. Plus, I know what I'm doing with the leftovers from Monday - Friday's dinner! Some of these recipes are from Leanne Ely's book "Saving Dinner the Low Carb Way". There are some carb options in it that sometimes I choose, so it is a good cookbook for beginner meal planning. And I am definitely a beginner

Sunday
Slider cheeseburgers
Tray of homemade macaroni & cheese
steamed green beans & baby carrots

Monday
Pepper Stuffed Herb Chicken (p 67 Leanne)
Brown Rice
Cauliflower & cheese sauce (frozen Green Giant)

Tuesday
Hot dogs
Macaroni & cheese leftover from Sunday
Steamed green beans and carrots leftover from Sunday

Wednesday
Turkey Divan (p 71 Leanne) using leftover frozen turkey
Mashed faux-tay-toes
Sugar Snap Peas

Thursday
Pork Chops Divan (p 68 Leanne)
mashed rutabega
garlicky sauteed spinach

Friday
Chicken fajitas (leftover chicken from Monday night)
leftover brown rice
black beans, salsa, shredded cheese, guacamole

Saturday
not sure - maybe leftovers or takeout

yum! those look awesome. i have to get back in the habit of doing these, too. i've never posted them before, but it's so much easier to just know what you're going to cook rather than trying to figure it out last minute, you know?

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
