{Meal Planning: Back to it!}

Yep, I'm back to my meal planning ways!

I didn't really take January off, but as a part of the 30 day fitness challenge I did, I had my meals planned out for me, so I didn't really have much I could post about with meal planning.

But now, I'm back to my old ways, and I'm trying to really incorporate more whole foods into my plans.  But lemme tell ya, it's a hard, hard thing to change old eating habits.  Especially in winter when all those yummy colorful veggies are in shorter supply than during the summer.  And when it's cold outside, creamy comfortable soup and bread sounds so much more appealing than a cold, heartless salad!

So here's my February plan!!

Week 1:

February 1:  Chicken Enchiladas
February 2: Leftovers
February 3: Out~Red Robin, I had a yummy salad.  :)
February 4: Snacks... not super healthy choices, I'm afraid.
February 5: Souper Bowl Sunday!: Potato Soup and then appetizers at the game.
February 6: Spaghetti
February 7: Tacos

Week 2:

February 8:  Grilled Chicken w/veggies
February 9: Yellow Soup
February 10:  Pork Stir Fry
February 11: Leftovers
February 12:  Cheesy Chicken Rollups (with Corn tortillas instead of flour)
February 13: Tilapia and veggies
February 14:  BBQ Chicken, fresh grilled veggies and baked potatoes

Week 3:

February 15: Lettuce Wraps
February 16: Beef Stew
February 17: Chicken Piccata
February 18: Leftovers
February 19: Nachos
February 20: Turkey burgers
February 21: ???  Meetings this night, so I'm not sure yet.

Week 4:

February 22:  Grilled chicken & veggies
February 23: Crockpot chicken soup
February 24: Gyros
February 25: Homemade Pizza with Black Olives (per special request for my son's birthday dinner)
February 26: Leftovers
February 27: Shepherd's Pie
February 28: Beef in Stout

Yum, yum.  I'm hungry now.  Lot's of comfort food, but also lots of opportunities to alter some of these recipes and make them with as many whole foods as possible, instead of mixes and processed food.  There are some sauces, or things with bread crumbs, etc, but the main ingredients for many of these are not from a mix or a box.  Little changes at a time equals success in my book!

Happy planning!
