Weekly Dinner Menu Plan

Since I'm giving this weight loss thing a good try, thought it would help to plan my meals out. Breakfast and lunch are consistently the same, so I won't bore myself(or anyone else) with those menus. Dinner can be tricky. I have three picky, utterly finicky kids. It's not their fault, I know. Diva helped. Anyway, dinner can be a hassle if I make something they all hate. So, I've gotten into the habit of making things they will eat just to get through dinner without fuss. That ends with this menu. Lord, help me!

Monday - Baked tilapia, oven baked steak fries, corn on the cob(in the crockpot as I type), and salad.
Tuesday - Tuna casserole, peas, and salad.
Wednesday - Moe's(as in 'Welcome to Moe's!') This will test my will power bad! I love their Triple Lindy.
Thursday - baked eggplant parm and salad. No frying before baking. It will be all oven baked.
Friday - French bread pizza and salad.
Saturday - Southwest pork chops, mac & cheese, and salad.
Sunday - Salsa chicken, Mexican rice, and salad.

Throughout the week, I'll pick a few things from the menu and post recipes. If the food looks decent, I might even add pics. I'm a Diva though and cooking is not my forte, so don't hold your breath. *hee*

Notice I'm serving salad every night we eat at home. This will be a good size salad that I'll eat before the main course. Hoping this helps me with portion control and to not overeat on the more caloric foods. We'll see. I know I can't go overboard on the dressing and will be mindful of that too.
