weekend menu thread

there wasn't one started, so here goes

Saturday:

B: skim milk
L: grilled buffalo chicken tenders, 1/2 avocado with lime
D: shrimp cocktail * grilled yellow squash
S: skim milk

*recipe from food network's show weighing in. It's looks really good and light. I'm going to leave the egg out, that part doesn't sound good to me but I'm not a big fan of eggs either

The shrimp dish turned out to be really good! I know I will be making this a lot during the summer. It's so light and refreshing

I always keep frozen salad shrimp on hand, so it would quick to fix anytime because you could easily cut back on the ingrediants for just one person. that's what I did last night.

I made a couple of changes other than just reducing some of the ingrediants:
red bell pepper instead of green
I added 1/2 an avocado left from lunch, juice of 1/2 lime, 1 diced jalapeno because I love spicey. I also cut the oil back to 1 TB and didn't miss it and I did leave the egg out.

B: skim milk
L: leftover shrimp stuff
D: black bean soup, mexican salad (lettuce, cheese, jalapeno, salsa and a little ranch)
S: skim milk

I had the best menu today, it came together slowly but worked out real good.

B, boiled egg, v8
L, 2 oz turkey breast, salad, oz light cheese, slice cantaloupe
S, oz macadamia nuts
D, 3 oz chicken breast w hot sauce, 1/2 c pinto beans, steamed spinach and mushrooms over a wedge of light laughing cow cheese (my version of easy-awesome creamed spinach) and oven roasted yellow squash and onion.

It is a higher carb day. The fresh veggies are being harvested and yum! My neighbor and I buy from a farmer in the country, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, onions, eggplant, sweet potatoes. It's cheaper and better that way. Man I can sure see some good gazpacho eating!

Kitchen is closed.

B - yougurt
L - 2 rye crisps w/lf cream cheese, mustard & deli sliced chicken
S - yogurt
D - chicken & green chile w/mashed calui
S - sm. bowl SF ice cream

I did good today, I'm feeling good about my choices. DBF is baking toll house cookies right now which smell really good, but for the moment, I'd rather feel good about myself than eat one...I did way too well today to ruin it all with a silly cookie!
