Meal Plans

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So today I thought I would write out my meal plan for the next week.
How we do meal plans in our household isn't like how most families do them. We plan out our suppers for the next week or so based on what we currently have in our house and what is on sale. Then, for breakfast and lunch we basically "wing it" or have Shakeology. So I will be going grocery shopping on Monday and will plan out suppers until then. Then I will plan out our meals for all of next week and next weekend.

Today (Thursday)- Chicken Parmagiana
Friday- Chicken Fajitas
Saturday- Cook Out (burgers/host dogs on the grill)
Sunday- Left Overs


Next Week:

Monday- BBQ Baked Chicken
Smother Chicken in BBQ sauce of your choice and bake it.

Tuesday- Marinated Italian Chicken (Baked)
Marinate chicken over night in Italian dressing of your choice and bake.

Wednesday- Broccoli Chicken Casserole 
Bottom Layer: Broccoli
Middle Layer: Cooked Chopped Chicken
Top Layers: Cream of Broccoli mixed with milk
                    Cheese
                    Bread crumbs mixed with butter

 Thursday- Chicken Picatta
Dip chicken in egg, cover in flour, fry in little coconut oil both sides, remove from pan, add lemon juice to pan, mix and heat with oil, add over top of chicken.

 Friday- Chicken Fajitas
Heat sliced cooked chicken on stove, remove, in same pan add coconut oil and sliced peppers. Add fajita seasoning and mix. Add chicken and mix. Let simmer until done.

 Saturday- Chicken Enchiladas
Bake chicken breasts. While chicken is cooking, prepare enchilada mix: salsa, cilantro, parsley, lime juice mixed in food processor. When chicken is done cut into small cubes. Mix half of mix with chicken and mozzarella cheese. Put into tortillas. Spoon some left over mix on top. Add mozzarella.

 Sunday- Left Overs


As you can tell we eat plenty of chicken. For a while we were just having chicken breasts every night and it was getting pretty boring. But I started venturing out and trying different things. Some nights I don't follow a recipe and just see how things turn out but most of the time I always have a recipe and usually follow it until I get the hang of it. Then that's when I start trying my own stuff and changing things up.

I Love My Coffee

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to. I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

So Many Changes

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding.  My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...
