Did you enjoy your Easter? Do you have lots of leftovers? I do but not as many as in previous years. I tried to keep our menu simple even though Ray was coming over and bringing a friend from work. Since they normally eat camp food I knew they would appreciate a home cook meal but didn’t expect anything elaborate.
I will put a portion of the leftover ham in the freezer and use some of it in meals this week. I don’t want to over do it since it is not the healthiest of meats.
Monday: Chicken Fajita Tostadas
Tuesday: Bean and Bacon (leftover ham) soup and fresh rolls
Wednesday: Basic Sauteed Chicken, red potatoes and Brussels sprouts
Thursday: Salisbury Steak with Caramelized Onion Gravy
Friday: Breakfast waffles, eggs and fruit
Saturday: Grilled Chicken Ratatouille

The first meal plan of 2012! I started the new year juicing and eating mainly raw foods. I did slip twice but overall I stuck to the plan.
My schedule at work is now fairly consistent which has made meal planning easier. To make things easier on me I am using some premade meals on the nights I work. I hope to buy some smaller pans so that I can freeze up some quick meals but for now Sams is taking care of it for me.
Eating healthy was hard on the days I worked nine and ten hour shifts. I often found myself ordering a to-go salad from Chili’s since they are in the same parking lot as JoAnn’s. The cost and inconsistent quality aggravated me so two weeks ago I bought some cool salad and soup containers. Now I can make my own salad!

I can’tr believe I actually have about three weeks worth of menus planned out right now! I started working part-time last week and the first thing I knew I had to take care of was meals.
My schedule will overlap when I normally make dinner sometimes so I will be relying on my crock-pot and the timer on my oven a lot more. I think I have only used the hold and cook feature on our oven twice so hopefully I will not mess anything up as I get use to it.
I am still trying to eat as clean as possible even though I can’t work-out right now.
