~Menu Plan for 2 weeks~

The idea this week is controlled carbs. Not Atkins, but definitely cutting out refined sugar, white flour and excess starches. Those just do not contribute to health no matter what anyone wants to claim. I'd like to see myself stay within 50 grams.....we'll see how I do on that. For the kids I will add things like potato and rice and whole wheat tortillas etc,...

Dinners:
-tortilla pizzas (cannot use low carb tortillas they will burn and not crisp)
-mandarin orange chicken with rice
-Dari's picante chicken with green beans (from Biggest Loser cookbook)
-chicken alfredo with broccoli (a standby recipe)
-szechuan beef and broccoli
-roast beef, cauliflower, garden salad
-meatloaf, green beans, garden salad
-steak stir-fry with salsa/sour cream
-buffalo chicken breasts with ranch and lots of celery
-ginger lime salmon with asparagus and baby carrots
-cube steaks with rich sweet onion gravy and normandy frozen veggie mix
