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.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

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...
