Meal Plan Monday--February 27-March 4

I have been miserable the past week.  Digestive issues, a cold, now migraines have been keeping me out of my game for too long now.  I'm hoping that this migraine that seems to be tapering off will finish off my recent troubles and I can go back to my usual healthy self for a few more months or years.  Yes, I feel so guilty about not blogging for over a week that I'm braving a relatively minor (read: can be exposed to some light and can sit up for a while without a complete brain explosion) migraine to bring you this post. 

There may be some changes in my meal plans coming.  We splurged and got me a gym membership (since working out at home just wasn't happening, but being in better shape will ultimately save us money on health) that came with unlimited classes, so about three nights a week, I'm not going to be home when I usually would be to make dinner.  Yay for yoga and zumba!  This means that more of my meals are going to gravitate away from my somewhat typical staying in the kitchen for a long time preparing a meal and toward super quick dinners or, even better, slow cooker meals!

Monday: roast venison open faced sandwiches (shredded roast on top of bread, doused with leftover gravy) with leftover carrots

Tuesday: spinach and feta roll ups (experimental recipe, yet quick and easy for after zumba!)

Wednesday: slow cooker honey garlic chicken with rice and steamed veggies (perfect for after yoga!)

Thursday: quiche lorraine (with spinach instead of some of the bacon) and a side of homecanned peaches

Friday: grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (for after zumba)

Saturday: "Mexican pizzas" (think Taco Bell, but homemade)

Sunday: clean out the fridge night

  1. Sorry about the migraine - I've been suffering from a sinus infection which isn't the same, but at least lets me sympathize. :) Your seeds arrived, by the by, and I'm dying to get them into some dirt!

  2. Sorry to hear about the migraine - sounds almost like caffeine withdrawal, which is the worst headache ever. ~hugs~ happy for your gym membership! (and a little envious)

    1. It wasn't caffeine withdrawal. It is part of the wonderful perks of my hormonal issues that I get SEVERE migraines sometimes at a particular part of the month. One of the many reasons I look forward to hitting menopause!

  3. Yay for getting yourself a gym membership. Its gonna help boost your immune system, help ward off bouts of depression and give you some much needed "me" time. I was so glad to read that your finally doing something just for you since you are constantly giving to your kids, husband and blog readers. :0)

    1. That's pretty much why we thought it would be worth the investment, since it really is an INVESTMENT in my health. I've been using it too! Been to the gym four times so far this week, twice to meet with a personal trainer (one appointment is free, but I ended up spreading it over two sessions because I overdid it on the first one and got sick. Oops. Oh well), once to go to yoga class but I got the time wrong so just ended up working out on my own, and once to zumba class. So far, zumba is definitely my favorite, but I'm kind of liking being able to get some "quiet" reading time while doing cardio on my own as well!
