Sicky Sunday

I am sick with flu so unable to exercise ... plus stuck lying around wanting to snack!  :)  Here's hoping for a week that I don't end up gaining ... I've been pretty good all week until getting sick.

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!
