Menu Monday

Menu for the week of May 24, 2010

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of May 24th. I am entering week 2 of combining the strict following of the Abs Diet for Women menu plan (well, strict in the sense of measurements, less strict in the sense of how it’s prepared and seasoned)  performing the Walking the Walk: Getting Fit With Faith journal and exercise regimen, pulling some meals from there when I’m faced with shellfish or pork in the Abs Diet menu.  Other than a Saturday night banquet where I indulged in my weakness, cake, I did good last week.   Let’s ignore the fact that I have to make chocolate cupcakes for a birthday party today.

The Abs diet calls for eating every 2 hours, so I am including the snacks in my menu plan in case there is someone who wants to do it with me. I will post the recipes as quickly as I can get them posted.

The kids will be eating with me, mostly. There’s a lack of starch in the Abs Diet menu, so I’ll be giving them starches here and there. I’ve added their meals to the menu. Those things I will not be eating with the kids, you will find the words in green.

I will be posting about this in detail at the end of this four weeks.

The “rules” of our household diet can be found in the tab above labeled Hallee’s Galley and further explained in Our Diet.

I usually serve leftovers for lunch the next day, or we’ll save them during the week to graze lunch on the weekends. One meal a week, we eat whatever we want. This is usually our “Dinner Out” meal.

Almost all of the breads are homemade using fresh milled flour. I’ll continue to link to my recipes as I post them.

As far as desserts go, I have to make a birthday cake for a friend’s daughter.  She wants a “New Moon Jacob” cake.  A Twitter brainstorming session with Household6Diva helped me come up with the perfect idea.  I’ll be posting werewolf cupcakes for Hoosier Homemade’s Cupcake Tuesday this week as well.
