monday – leftovers for the littles and a smart one for me
tuesday – hobo bean soup…(carried over from last week) i love this soup (the oldest little does NOT, he isn’t a lover of beans)…it’s packed full of fiber and isn’t bad on the diet…i cut the sugar amounts in half (to also be easier on the diet) and i didn’t add bacon to it…i’m hoping to be able to freeze some of it in single servings for a quick grab-and-go for lunches at work…
wednesday – spaghetti with meat sauce (whole wheat pasta, my own canned spaghetti sauce and 96% fat free ground beef)
thursday – chicken paella (recipe below)…can’t WAIT to try this, i’m sure the youngest will love it…the oldest, not so much…he isn’t a fan of rice
friday – subway =)
saturday – out to dinner with the fam
sunday – lasagna and garlic bread
