It’s kind of an odd week because today is the King’s birthday and this weekend we’ll be traveling for the Memorial Day holiday. So we’ll be eating on the go more than usual. But we’ll still try to bring it from home when at all possible. And if we can’t do that, we’ll use a coupon!
Monday: Takeout (still TBD because the King can’t give me a straight answer on what he wants)
Wednesday: Taco Pizza (it was a hit last week)
Topped with Seasoned Ground Turkey
Black Beans
2% Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese
Salsa
Chopped Romaine and drizzled with Light Sour Cream
Thursday: Chicken Parmigiana
Penne Pasta with Marinara Sauce
Spinach Salad
Garlic Toast
Friday: (on the road) PBJ
Fresh cut veggies
Apples and Bananas
Saturday/Sunday/Monday: Our Cooler will be filled with:
A Gallon of homemade iced tea and a refillable bottle to drink it on the go
A Gallon of water and refillable bottles to drink it on the go
Whole Wheat Bread
Deli Meat and Cheese
A Jar of Peanut Butter
A Jar of Jelly
Cut veggies (Cucumber, Red/Yellow Pepper, Carrots, Celery)
Apples, Bananas, Pears, Oranges
Triscuits (we got a ton on the cheap this weekend thanks to Kraft!)
Frosted Mini Wheats (yeah for paying $1/box!)
Protein Bars
Muscle Milk (the King’s favorite is Light Chocolate Milk)
I have several B1G1 McCafe drink coupons so I’m sure there will be some coffee mixed in
there, too. I don’t buy McDonald’s food for several reasons but I am a sucker for their coffee!
I don’t have time to post a recipe today (SO much to do to celebrate the birthday boy!) but will post one tomorrow. I made some slightly healthified Red Onion Rings over the weekend (I know, oxymoron) and I want to pass that recipe along to you. They were yum-o and perfect with our Inside out Turkey Cheeseburgers. For now, look through some of my favorite Monday Meals Recipes of the past like Black Bean Turkey Meatballs, My version of the Starbucks Vivano, Breaded Ranch Chicken, Black Bean Southwestern Chili, or Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs. Or you can look at my entire compiled list of Monday Meal recipes thus far here.
