This week’s meal plan was a little more challenging than usual for me. My husband is doing the South Beach diet so it means a little more protein and veggies added to our usual mix. It’s hard to break the mold of protein-veggie-starch that I’ve come accustomed to. And no Friday night pizza! That was the hardest thing to adjust since it was the one day of the week I didn’t have to come up with something. Thankfully I went to a Wildtree freezer meal workshop and made 10 meals that are now ready to go for the next month. The “Best Burgers” will replace pizza for Friday night this week.
Sunday~ Leftover smoked mozzarella and tomato meatloaf. Another Wildtree dinner and it was yummy.
Monday~ Honey Balsamic Drumsticks. Wildtree again…I’m not typically a fan of cooking drumsticks but I thought the kids might like the novelty of them, and the variety. Served with steamed broccoli and tangy balsamic couscous (for some of us carb eaters).
Tuesday~ Mexican Black Bean Chili with Sausage. Looks like it’s South Beach approved and delicious.
Wednesday~ C.O.R.N. (Clean out refrigerator night!)
Thursday~ Teriyaki Salmon, steamed green beans and pumpkin mac n cheese.
Friday~ Best Burgers from my Wildtree stash. Serve with whatever veggies are left from the week, either in a stir-fry or salad.

Our meal planning as been all South Beach for the past week, and I’ll continue to do so for a while. I am happy to share some of my menu planning if you need some suggestions. It’s hard to switch gears when you have a working and wonderful system. He’s lucky to have you switching things up.
I was about to ask you, Corn? Just corn for dinner? haha. Love the acronym! 🙂
Ha! The CORN came originally from Jessica Fisher from Life as Mom. It’s perfect and we utilize it often. Thanks for reading!
I just realized you are going to blissdom too. Hope to meet you! Erin
