So how are the meal plans going for you so far? I would like to say that even though I share a lot of recipes on here I very rarely make my meal going "exactly" by the recipe, I almost ALWAYS tweak it in some way shape or form. Just wanted to share that in case some of these cause you to feel overwhelmed or if you don't like all the ingredients/spices or you have a better substition, especially if you're going with no salt or low fat vareities.
Monday - Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Sauteed Broccoli
I fry onions in olive oil then add broccoli to the pan when the onions are almost clear, then add "vegetable seasoning" by Clubhouse seasonings mix well and put lid on frying pan to fry/steam the broccoli.
Tuesday - Grilled Salmon & Basmati Rice
Mix equal parts of maple syrup, dijon mustard and bbq sauce. Marinate your salmon and then grill. Serve with basmati rice.
Wednesday - Turkey Manicotti with Garden Salad
This recipe is from the tv show "Fixing Dinner" the curry mixed with the mushroom soup puts such an AWESOME flavour on this!!! Seriously :) Even if you don't like curry!
Easy Turkey Manicotti

Spoon filling unto uncooked manicotti until ¾ full. When all shells are filled and in pan, spoon cottage cheese over top, then spoon sauce over top.
