Can you believe it is Monday again, already?! I know I cannot. Monday of course means weigh-in here, so right to it. Today the scale said I had lost 5.4 pounds - I was stunned. That brings my total to 30.2 pounds!
Before I post the menu, I wanted to let you all know that 95% of what I post is actually a Weight Watcher recipe. If I am making something that is not Weight Watchers or low cal/fat on its own, then I will usually eat leftovers or a salad. Now, onto the main event.
Saturday: Poached salmon and cucumber - this was a big hit with hubby a couple of weeks ago and he wanted me to make it again, so I did - YUM!
Sunday: Oven fried chicken and broccoli - I made this a couple of weeks ago too, but the two older kids were not home, so I would like their opinion. I was encouraged because my youngest one did like it and he is usually the pickiest one.
Monday: Refried bean soup - my online weight loss buddy, Connie (big wave), told me this was a good soup, so I am giving it a try.
Tuesday: Rosemary chicken with wild rice and cauliflower - although I used wild rice on the poached salmon dish and hubby liked it with white rice better, I may change it to white rice - I happen to love brown rice and like wild rice, but I have to cook for the whole family.
Wednesday: Meatloaf, baked potato, and green beans
Thursday: Spaghetti with oven roasted tomato sauce
Friday: Up in the air at the moment, partly because I am not sure who will be here for dinner and who will not.
I just love when the cooler weather hits, and it finally has here, and I get to enjoy soup/stew. I think soup/stew is my favorite thing because it is warm, comfort-food, and best of all can be made ahead of time and reheated - with the kids' busy schedule this is a big plus. What is your favorite cool weather meal?

Chili. MMM.
That refried bean soup sounds delicious!
Soup is my favorite food, though I am not too sure about refried bean.. let us know how it turns out
Wow!! Congratulations, you go!! I love the cooler weather too. My favorite cool weather meal would probably be my homemade vegetable beef soup. I make up a huge pot that almost makes it a week. I say almost because I usually eat it for lunch and dinner and sometimes as a snack. :)
OMG, Congratulations on your weight loss! That is just awesome!!!
I'm going to have to pay more attention to how you are doing this, either that or move in with you!!
Well Done!!
Wow-5 pounds is incredible, and you're eating healthy too!
30 POUNDS??? YOU ROCK! THAT IS AWESOME and INSPIRING!
That menu looks great. I think it would be easy if we just ate w/ you every night ;)
HAPPY MONDAY :)
Wow! Great weight loss this week and over all. I love the menus. How do you keep portion control in control???? Seriously. Any ideas?

You always have such tasty menus. Too bad you live on the other side of the country or I'd drop in for supper often!!
good job on the weight loss.
I love soup too I also like a pot of beans and some biscuits
Wow, congrats on the weight loss.
Tuesday menu made my mouth water:)We all love brown rice.
Okay, so you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight! That's been my biggest hangup.
