Dinners
Monday-Hamburger gravy and rolls, veggie (Earl doesn't care for this but has class tonight...kids have been asking for it).  I'll eat leftover low-carb pizza from Saturday.

Tues-Pork and pinto bean carnitas, tortillas, all the fixings (sour cream, cheese, salsa), tortilla chips

Wed-Kids eat at church

Thurs-Cheeseburger Pie, rolls for kids

Fri-Roast chicken, sweet potatoes, asparagus

Sat-Chicken enchiladas, beef soft tacos, chips, salsa

Sun-Eggroll in a bowl with either quinoa or rice

Lunches-I'm letting kids eat at school 1-2 times per week.  Rest of the time they take a sandwich, veggie, and fruit, occasionally chips, and a low-sugar juice drink.

My lunches-Salad with salmon, salad with chicken, protein shake, leftovers

Breakfasts-kids can eat this at school for free, aside from Max.  They can always opt for yogurt, cereal, toast, or boiled eggs at home instead, and Max usually eats some combination of those or I make us scrambled eggs.

My breakfasts-THM pancakes (using cottage cheese, egg whites, and oat flour), protein shakes, scrambled eggs with veggies, omelet, boiled eggs, crepes, etc...

Snack list for this week:
Cheese sticks
Chocolate milk
Veggies with peanut butter or homemade Ranch (veggies are cut up in fridge and ready to go)
fruit (currently nectarines, apples, bananas, and blackberries)
Crackers and cheese
Yogurt with or without fruit
Pepperoni sticks
Popcorn
Nuts

Sure thing!  Both Pinterest recipes :)


Buffalo Chicken Lasagna (from Crockpot 365):

Cauliflower Alfredo (haven't tried this one yet!)

Enjoy!
M :)

Edited to add: I made the cauliflower alfredo tonight, and it was a good substitute, but I think that this recipe calls for  wa-a-a-ay too much garlic (and I love garlic!). Also, I followed the note at the bottom and added some parmesan cheese.
