I'm using this down time to start thinking about menu ideas for the family. I'm trying to start collecting a larger set of meal ideas so that I'm not just cooking the same thing all the time.
From the WW community, I got a suggestion for meatloaf muffins ... now that sounds really good. I think we'll have that one night this next week ... individual servings of meatloaf (from ground turkey) with a light ketchup sauce on top. I think I'll pair it up with baked potatoes ... mine with just a tad of light margarine ... the rest of the family can have theirs loaded.
Another suggestion that I liked ... a "breakfast" dinner ... French toast sandwiches of Nutella or smashed strawberries and chocolate chips ... dipped in egg/egg white and cooked in Pam. Points would depend on the bread ... but could be fairly low - especially since strawberries are now zero points. Served with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a couple of slices of bacon. Bacon is just one point per slice if you buy the "reduced fat" version and cook it crisp. Wonder how the kids would like this? I would like it ... but we have very different ideas of good food ...
Off to check the community boards for more ideas .........
Happy Sunday!
