Second Chance day 2 FOLLOW ME TO BETTER HEALTH

[jenniamigo]

Today was off to a great start. I finally made the strawberry banana breaksfast smoothies and they were a hit. I was pretty lazy today and didn't do a whole lot. But I am making up for it. I just finished planning the menu for the week and after the children go to bed (in 30 minutes) I am going to go through my shopping list and cabinets so i dont rebuy things ((which is a horrible habit of mine) and ad the same time I am going to throw out every processed and other things that I am no longer eating. Which kind of feels like a waste but i need a fresh start and room in the pantry and overloaded refridgerator. 

Here is my dinner menu for the week. BUt you will have to check back to make sure I stuck with it. Because one of my downfalls is that I am a very impulsive person that gets distracted quite easily....I don't know how I am going to make it through school when i start in january lol. ANWAY MENU (see what I mean about distractions lol)

WEEK  1

Monday - Veganized tater tot casserole

Tuesday - black bean and sweet potato enchilada pie

wednesday - veganized shepards pie

thursday - Chickpea cutlets with roasted baby potatos and green beans

Friday - simple spaghetti with salad and whole grain garlic toast

Saturday - Black bean burgers and sweet potato wedges

Sunday - Veganized Seitan Stroganoff.

 if your interested in any of these recipes or just want to follow my meal plan with me (for those who have written me asking about where to start on going vegan) Just let me know and I will PM them to you. If anyone is wanting to follow my meal plan a vegan breakfast is pretty easy to wing. My lunches are almost always leftovers from the dinner the night before (i usually make large batches so i don't have to worry about lunch so much the next day.) So most of my effort goes into planning dinners. Another tip for anyone interested keep nuts on hand any kind you like and you get the mixtures with dried fruit as well. It is a great healthy snack and can keep you full for quite some time. And also keep your favorite fruits on hand. And heres a fun fact. An apple in the morning can energize you just as much as your morning coffee and also does a great job keeping you full it also doesn't mess up your freshly brushed teeth in fact it can actually give you a nice deep cleaning lol. 

Now for what I had today

Breakfast - Ab Fab strawberry breakfast smoothies

snack - some varied nuts

lunch - Leftover bean burritos and homemade quacamole

snack - about a cup of oatmeal

Dinner - Wild rice and veggies
