Here is our menu for the week. I had a bad weigh in at Weight Watchers so it is time for me to step up to the lower calorie plate. I will still allow more calories for shared family dinners and try to skimp on my lunch. I can’t push everyone too far…

Monday: Baked Rigatoni with salad and breadsticks. (Wheat pasta, part skim mozzarella and ricotta). No breadsticks for me with an extra helping of salad.

Tuesday: Beef Stroganoff with noodles and green beans. (Use lean beef round steak, fat free sour cream and lots of mushrooms).

Wednesday: I have class so it is mom’s choice what to cook. She will be glad not to have to watch the calories in the ingredients. I will probably have a sandwich on whole wheat bread and a light latte between classes.

Thursday: Chicken wing night at our favorite bar. I will be having a turkey wrap with side salad. I don’t think I will be able to squeeze in a beer… :(

Friday: Pork loin with baked apples, mashed potatoes with cauliflower and parsnips, peas.

Saturday: Cajun Shrimp with grits or polenta.
