Dinner

Well, that was an interesting food plan week. Looking back we stayed on the dinner plan less then 50% of the time, yet life went on and we were fed, as usual. I had planned one meal out, because I knew we had an event Tuesday evening, but I had completely forgotten about one Saturday night.  Then, rains forced the cancellation of grilled tuna. Life moves on and we eat anyway.

What was planned:

1. Corned beef, cabbage, mashed potatoes (or none)

2. Beef stew over rice or caulirice, mixed greens

3. Greek chicken, rice pilaf, asparagus, tossed salad

4. Grilled tuna steaks, asparagus, mashed potatoes or cauliflower mashed potatoes

5. Out to eat

6. Philly cheesesteak casserole, tossed salad or coleslaw

7.  White sauce bbq chicken, caulitato salad, baked beans (for TheHub only)

What we really ate:

Monday: I had some ground chuck in the fridge and several bell peppers. This meal pretty much planned itself.

Philly cheesesteak casserole, spring greens

Tuesday: We bought tickets to the fund raiser banquet of a non-profit we support

Bad banquet chicken, mashed potatoes, 4 shreds of undermined veggies, salad

Wednesday:I had found ground chuck on sale and bought about 10 pounds of it. Though I froze most of it, I made meatballs for a keto variation of my mom's meatball stew 

Meatball stew over rice or caulirice

Thursday: Happy St. Pat's

Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes (or none)

Friday:Neither of us were particularly hungry and I had everything on hand for this. Big garden salad

Saturday: We knew we had tickets for an Afro Cuban concert but had forgotten it was Saturday until I got an email reminder. Fortunately they had a wine and munchies hour before the event.

Pulled pork on dinner rolls, pineapple shrimp, corn salsa, chips, dips, veggies, churros

Sunday: I was actually pulling for Auburn to win their basketball game, and I am never for Auburn. Unfortunately for them, they played like Alabama. We had a pre-game meal so we would not miss any of the game. Turns out it would not have mattered if we did!

Steak, baked potato, spring greens

And now on to this week's plans (in no particular order)

1.White bbq chicken, caulitato salad, chilled asparagus, baked beans 

2. Grilled tuna steaks, asparagus, mushroom risotto or caulirice , spring greens

3. Large dinner salad, rolls or keto rolls

4. Butter chicken, rice or caulirice, asparagus or Brussels sprouts, tossed salad

5. Chicken curry, rice or caulirice, something green

6. Out to eat

7. Cauliflower"Mac and cheese", collards, black-eyed peas, squash

Have a great week staying on plan, going off plan, or with no plan at all!
