Let's Do The Time Warp Again...

Oh wait, it's Monday, so that means weigh-in and menu planning. Sorry, no Time Warp today, maybe another time.

Was the scale my friend this morning? Yes, with 1.6 pounds lost. That brings my total to 24.8 pounds.

Just a note about last week's menu, the Tamale Pie was an "epic fail" as my kids would say. The meat mixture was tasty, in my opinion, but the cornmeal on top was ick! The Greek soup was really tasty - it was made with white rice, chicken, and spinach. I really liked it and have decided to make a batch for lunches this week with some tweaking - brown rice, no chicken, but chickpeas instead. Okay, onto the main event:

Sunday: Linguine Alfredo - it needed more garlic and I really don't care for linguine noodles and I discovered neither do the kids, so next time I will make it with spaghetti noodles. It was nice because there were veggies right in the dish.

Saturday: Shrimp Scampi, rice, and broccoli. This was a hit. I could probably cook shrimp in dirty bath water and they would love it though.

Monday: Beef and barley soup with rolls

Tuesday: Greek roast chicken, potato, and carrots

Wednesday: bean and cheese burritos (easy night)

Thursday: My Dad comes for dinner and is bringing El Pollo Loco (Mexican grilled chicken)

Friday: Chicken tortilla soup

So, what were your hits and misses last week?
