Here is my version of Gina's Baby Past Shells with Asparagus and Marinara:
I used rotini shells because I wanted something fun and whole grain...the baby shells at Kroger were all white pasta. I also added 1/3 lb. lean hamburger meat for the predator in my husband. And...I'll admit, I didn't remember my grocery list, so I forgot the crushed tomatoes to make my own sauce, so I had to turn to Ragu...sorry :*-(
This week's meal plan (thanks, Allison, for the idea!):
Monday: Chicken Parmigiana, without the crunchy coating but with Angel Hair Pasta, green beans
Tuesday: Pasta Marinara with Asparagus, garlic bread, fruit smoothie for dessert
Wednesday: Venison Tacos, refried beans, Spanish Rice
Thursday: Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp, rice, steamed veggies
Friday: Most likely leftoevers.
Sat. & Sun: We are usually bad and eat what's left in the fridge, grill, or eat out. We'll see what this week holds!
I'm currently working on a Meal Plan Planner. I'm TERRIBLE at planning ahead (at least for food, that is), so I'm really looking for something that works. I've adapted a worksheet from a couple different sources, adding my own spin on it, and so far, it's worked this week. Except the part about forgetting it at home when I went to the grocery store--it also serves as my grocery list. I'll put a downloadable copy on here as soon as I get it finished, or almost-finished-still-tweaking.
So, what's your game plan this week?
Looks yummy! We too had a spaghetti dish with angel hair, sweet Italian sausage and yes! I was fortunate to have the crushed tomatoes in my pantry. I love the texture of crushed tomatoes so I usually try to keep a few cans around.
ReplyDeleteI also make a version of chicken parmesan...I use bread crumbs but then I bake it....it's a spinoff of Weight Watchers chicken fingers. Very yummy!....hmmm might need to put that on the menu soon! lol
