Menu Plan for the Week
Last week was tough!  First week back after vacation, kids had VBS every night, I joined the gym, and it was the week before school starts.  There was a TON to do.  Blogging kind of fell by the wayside   So did healthy eating, for the most part.  This week is likely to be just as hectic, but I spent ALL DAY TODAY in the kitchen prepping, so at least I’m ready in terms of food!  Meals here are THM coded as E (= Energizing), S (= Satisfying), and FP (= Fuel Pull).

Breakfasts
Overnight oats w/ blueberries (E, X2)
Fat-free Greek yogurt with berries (FP, X2)
Ham and eggs (S, X2)
Sausage Frittata (S)

Lunches
Fooled Ya Pizza (S, X2)
Lemon Pepper wings (S)
Salmon with green fries (S, X2)
Chicken flatbread wraps (FP, X2)

Dinners
Tuna on romaine (FP, X2)
Chicken curry (S, X2)
Bean burritos (E, X2)
Fried cabbage and meatballs (S)

Snacks
Greek yogurt and berries (FP)
Cucumber slices (FP)
Cottage berry whip (DP)
