I love to menu plan! It really helps put delicious homemade meals on my kitchen table each night. It also helps me prep what I can in the morning when I’m at my best and puttering around the house. Here’s a menu plan I think you will love…

My least productive time is around 4:30 in the afternoon, just when I should be starting dinner. If I don’t have a plan I fall back on my default… take-out! A menu plan is just that… a plan. Things change, stuff happens so I don’t get crazy trying to always stick to it!

Some days I just don’t want to cook. On those days I don’t sweat it and order in Chinese Cashew Chicken or other take-out that is WW friendly. But more often than not, if I ‘ve planned and then at least done a couple things for dinner earlier in the day dinner is easy! And I’m so glad I made it!

MONDAY

If you make one thing this week please make the Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak (and maybe the Strawberry Dole Whip)! It’s a fabulous steak, but it is the marinade that is HEAVENLY! This is my go-to marinade for beef and chicken and vegetables. Trust me and MAKE THE MARINADE!!!!

I’m drawn to Alyssa’s blog THE RECIPE CRITIC like a moth to a flame! Her recipes look scrumptious and her recipes are always so good! If you have never visited her site, take some time and dive into her culinary world. YUM!

Bobby LOVES Chicken Cacciatore! This is for you sweet man!

It’s zucchini time! And our garden produces its weight in zucchini! Today’s recipe was among the first recipes I posted, so excuse the images. The recipe is a winner and very WW friendly!

FRIDAY

Talk about fresh flavors! Today’s menu is filled with lots of fresh summery flavors!b Today’s main dish is 0 WW points! Thanks, Dee Dee Does!

SATURDAY

Oh, we love quesadillas! And these are packed with flavor. Just a little warning, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce is HOT! So if you are not in love with spicy go easy on the chipotle and substitute salsa instead! Thanks, Glitter And Grace! LOVE your sass!

SUNDAY- FATHER’S DAY

We LOVE LOVE LOVE ribeye steak! It is packed with beefy flavor! And I’ve made this Munchkin Time recipe a few time and it is AMAZING! I’ll follow the recipe but put it on the grill.

Okay, this is no where close to WW friendly! So I’ll eat about 4 oz of the steak and have a big salad. But the rest of my family can eat what they want!

TREAT OF THE WEEK

Dole Whip is a famous sweet treat in Disney World! My sister made a WW friendly Dole Whip recently and it was beyond delicious! Since it is strawberry time here in Lancaster I’m whipping up a whole bunch of this sorbet like dessert!

Thanks, Dashing Dish for this scrumptious recipe!

  1. Hello Tuesday! I used to make chicken cacciatore but haven’t thought about making it in a while. So good, and your photo looks DEE-licious! Thanks for the good ideas and the inspiration to get organized!

  4. Yvonne, thank you so much for featuring my Weight Watchers Freestyle meals for Friday! I hope you enjoy everything 🙂 Also, so glad I found your stunning blog – I’ve bookmarked to come back to later on. Thanks again!

  6. Every single one looks delicious! I am really looking forward to trying the fish recipe. I have more problems trying to find good ways to prepare fish than any other. My husband would eat fish of some kind every day but I get in such a rut either frying (which I try to stay from) or a quick saute so this recipe will be a welcome change. These are all “tryers” for me because we would both like them all. He is not quite as adventurious as I am when it comes to new recipes. Thanks for all your hard work!!

  10. Everything looks delicious! I haven’t made zucchini boats since I was first married 45+ years ago. The recipe I had called them “zuccanoes”. I should try them again. Thank you for your posts.

  14. Every one of those recipes sounds so good! I love how you said your photos for the soup post are so bad and yet someone had commented when you first posted it back in ’09 that your photos were great! You photograph like a professional these days – everything looks like it’s out of a magazine 🙂

  25. This menu plan is right down my alley, everything looks AMAZING!! Crusty bread will pair nicely with a couple of these scrumptious dishes. Not to mention the Berry Crisp sends it over the top.
