Menu planning is KEY to consistent successful weight loss and maintenance. I'll admit, I've fallen completely off the wagon with my menu planning and I can see the difference with my progress.
I've had several people ask me to make a menu for them. In all honesty it takes too much time to create individual menus. So I've come up with an idea that just might work for everyone!
I'm asking my blog buddies and Facebook friends to submit 1 healthy dinner recipe! I'll compile the recipes to create a dinner menu for June (time permitting). I will then email them to everyone. If I don't have them all in time for June, I'll shoot for July!
To keep it simple and cost effective, recipes should be 6 ingredients or less, not including spices. Recipes should include nutrition information. sparkpeople.com has a recipe builder on their site that allows you to enter your ingredients and servings and it will give you the nutrition facts.
I'll need all submissions by 5/27! You can email them to me at miesharoshawn@gmail.com. Make sure to leave your name in the subject line. You don't have to stick to the menu religiously, but hopefully this can give you a guide for better eating and planning! Let's have fun with this!!
I 100% agree with you, not only does it help with weight loss it helps with time each evening as you don't have to think about "what" to cook it's already written down for you!! I usually sit down and figure out my meals for the MONTH!!! But I only cook twice a week as I take turnes with my husband. I do Tuesday and Thursday he does Monday and Wednesday and we're usually out somewhere Fridays, and of course Saturday is eat out day, Sundays I try to cook sunday dinner but it doesn't always work out like that as the weekend usually rushes by!
ReplyDeleteThis is my all time favorite recipe for the moment...the zucchini makes the burger so moist where it normally might not be....

I'll email it to you as well.
I suck at cooking but im gonna try and come up with something!
ReplyDelete@Mrs. Pancakes, I would suggest getting a few Rachel Ray 30 min meals cookbooks from the library. Start with simple dishes and work your way up!
ReplyDelete@Brown English Muffin, I need to get myself back on track with planning!
