Last week's meal plan got completely blown out of the water. We have a wrestler in the family, and last week his coach changed his weight class and our wrestler needed to cut 10 pounds. That made all of my meals with cheese or cream, or beef obsolete. So, I pivoted. And that's the beauty of meal planning. You have food in the house, you may just have to change how you use it depending on changes that occur during the week. Usually, it's a schedule change that causes me to pivot, but last week was a new one for me. This child is still cutting weight, so you'll notice that this week's meal plan is heavy on chicken. They told him to concentrate on eating chicken or eggs, and since he's anaphylactic to eggs, we stuck with chicken.
Friday: Leftovers for the wrestler, and the rest of us ate out due to a late indoor baseball practice.
Saturday: Chicken Au Champagne, baked potato, and vegetable
Sunday: Chicken Italian Sausage and Peppers in Rao's low sugar marinara sauce
Monday: Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry with gluten free ramen noodles
Tuesday: Hot Dogs and Veggies (requested by the wrestler)
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Thursday: Chicken and veggie sheet pan meal
Lunches: Italian Wedding Soup (meatballs made with no egg, gf breadcrumbs, and ground chicken)
Breakfast: Cinnamon toast for the 9-year-old and egg and cheese sandwiches (in the freezer) for the hubby.
This is a very chicken heavy meal plan. I tried to keep it interesting and tasty while keeping it low fat/low carb for the wrestler. Any meal that included carbs were for the others and the wrestler had the option to eat them or not.
For most of next week, he'll be at an overnight retreat, so our meal plan should look a bit different.
Have a blessed week!!
