Meal Planning - giving it another try

I've decided I need to get back on track with at least planning some main dishes for dinners for the week so here's what we are going to eat while trying to use up some stray ingredients (saffron & sun dried tomatoes - but not together!).  I'm focusing on trying to incorporate ideas from the Volumetrics Diet approach which emphasizes increasing the volume of low calorie foods in each meal.  Essentially, adding lots of soups, fruits and vegetables that are low calorie.

 

So here's this weeks dinner menus:

• Monday (meeting night) - Lentil soup (leftover) with cornbread and spinach goat cheese salad
• Tuesday (meeting night) - Turkey meatloaf (leftover) with roasted butternut squash and fruit salad
• Wednesday - Chickpea, vegetable and peanut curry with brown rice and fruit
• Thursday - Salmon steaks with kasha & veggie pilaf and broccoli
• Friday -  Omelet with veggies, pumpkin bread and green salad
• Saturday - Zesty grilled garlic-herb chicken breasts (saffron) with kasha & veggie pilaf and mixed veggies
• Sunday - Halibut with tomato, sun dried tomato & Parmesan sauce with whole wheat pasta, carrots and fruit
