The lunches and dinners for this week came from the cookbook pictured above. I do not think I had to modify any recipes but I do use Honey instead of sugar, whole wheat flours and pasta/grains and low sodium broths and condiments etc.
Breakfast:
I made Sean Blueberry Applesauce Muffins, this recipe is in Jillian Michaels Master Your Metabolism cookbook as Blueberry Banana Muffins. Sean can not have banana.
I am having Carrot Cake Muffins. The recipe is from a 1995 Cooking Light cookbook. I had to modify this somewhat. I also made them full sized muffins and not miniature ones. After recalculation my muffins are 118 calories each.
Lunch
I made Sean the Creamy Chicken Noodle Skillet and I made for myself Cheesy Chicken Skillet Dinner, I also added a half cup of rice to each serving of this dish as suggested at bottom of recipe page. These meals were both from cookbook pictured above.
Dinner
I made Sean, Dijon Steak Potato Stew and I made for myself Mexican Steak Stir Fry.
Desserts/Snacks
I made a batch of Healthy Chocolate chip cookies ( recipe in recipe section of this blog ) I will be having the trail mix from Jillian’s cookbook as a snack and Sean will have his Greek Yoghurt or an Apple. I am thinking about also getting some Asian Pears to eat. I love those 50 calories each! Crunchy but you have been warned! Very Juicy! This will easily soak up a napkin so have it handy. 🙂
Mmmmmmm…the recipes sound divine! My family doesn’t enjoy banana anything (except raw), so I’ll have to check out some of these other subs. Thanks for sharing!
Oh there are always alternatives. Applesauce works great in place of smashed banana’s!
