2022 Week 50 Menu Plan

The 2022 week 50 menu plan is complete. Many of the meals have been carried over from week 49. Since I was participating in a girls’ weekend, I over prepared the number of meals for the ‘Ole Buckeye to have while I was gone. 

Breakfast

Cranberry is the star of the breakfasts this week. I also plan to make granola in preparation for our trip to Aruba.

Apple Cranberry Steele Cut Oats

Roasted Cranberry, Maple, and Brown Sugar Farro

Grain Free Granola

Lunch

I have lots of leftovers for lunches this week. In fact the only preparation required is for the Zuppa Toscana, a family favorite found in the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. The recipe makes enough soup to finish out the week. We will be enjoying a birthday lunch with our daughter at our favorite Greek restaurant OraPax.

Dinner

Dinner consists of old standbys…nothing new. The shrimp dish will be prepared with the birthday girl in mind. The pork chops and salmon need no recipes.

Asiago Chicken

Bliss Burgers A veggie burger found in the Plant You cookbook.

Shrimp Saganaki

Roasted Salmon with Herb Salsa

Hits and Misses

This oatmeal has become a favorite. The flavors are great and it reheats well.

Berry Baked Oatmeal

The chia pudding proved to be a success. I put it in mason jars and the ‘Ole Buckeye had it several mornings while I was out of town.

Chia Seed Pudding

This chili was exceptionally good and extremely quick and easy to make. Next time I will add more lentils.

Vegan Lentil Chili

This quiche is an all time favorite and can be changed up according to what is on hand. I had broccoli and spinach that needed to be used. The only cheese on hand was Swiss. The combination was very good.

Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche

Recap

Last week I prepared meals for the ‘Ole Buckeye while I was away for 4 days. It turned out that his meals were more healthy than mine. I reconnected with my cousins for a girls’ weekend and although there were some healthy choices, I will admit that I didn’t eat as well as I should have. That being said, we had a wonderful weekend and now I have returned to home and plan healthy food. Bon Appetit!
