Meal Plan Week 2:

Hi again! It's that time of the week, time to plan for the upcoming week in meals!
I was thinking, that no one enjoys doing their grocery shopping late on Sunday, so from here on out, I will post early on Sunday, as in before 12pm. So now you can check at 12 every Sunday for the new list. Hopefully that helps everyone out in having a calmer weekend!
This week, I decided that the weather dictates we eat something that's a bit more flavorful, and Saturday now comes with dessert, because we deserve it!


Well here we go:


         Monday: Easy Pizza w/ a salad ( the crust is a Flat Out light spinach wrap,
                         topped with a spoonful of  tomato paste, mozzarella, and pepperoni)
         Tuesday: Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
         Wednesday: Sweet Pork Stir Fry
         Thursday: Chorizo Stuffed Chicken Breasts w/ broccoli
         Friday: Low Carb Fish Cakes w/spinach
         Saturday: am: "farmers" omelet (which is an omelet filled with ham, bacon,
                           sausage, and cheese, plus  veggies you'd like!)
                           pm: Italian Style Meatballs dessert: Cheesecake Cupcakes 
         Sunday: am: you're gonna eat a cold cheesecake cupcake, trust me! 
                          pm: Shredded Chicken Taco Salad


And here's your Grocery List:


Produce:
  •  lettuce (for salads and a recipe)
  • small tomato
  • bunch of fresh cilantro (it adds a lemon zest minus the lemon)
  • small bunch of scallions (adds a light onion flavor that's also a bit zesty)
  •  broccoli (for snacking, pizza topping, and general all around goodness)

Meat:
  •  1 lb italian sausage (be careful of the sweet kind, they usually add sugar)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  •  2 pkg (55-60 oz total) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 to 2lbs white fish
  • 1 lb chorizo sausage, uncured
  •  6 bone in, skin on chicken breasts
  •   lean pork tenderloin
  • 1 delightful ham steak
  •  bacon
  • 1 pkg mild sausage


Deli:
  •  sliced mozzarella (delicious, and a time savor, 1/2lb for recipes, more for snacking)
  • sliced pepperoni (for pizzas, I'd say 1/2lb as well)
  •  sliced smoked ham

Baking/ Spices:
  • 1 pkt taco seasoning
  • grated parmesan cheese (you'll end up needed about 2 and 1/2 c worth)
  •  dried basil
  • garlic powder
  • almond meal/flour
  • splenda or stevia
  • vanilla
  •  old bay seasoning
  •  flax meal
  • slivered almonds
  •  coconut flour (found online or in some specialty stores, ie; whole foods, maybe trader joes)
  • salt
  • ground cumin
  •  ground cinnamon
  • small can of tomato paste (look for lowest carbs, and no sugar in the ingredients)
  • 1 jar tomato sauce (as per recipe, but I would try to cut back and use only 1/2 of it for the meatballs)
  • Dijon Mustard (it does make a difference)
  • olive oil
  • Flat Out light spinach wraps (found by tortillas and bread)

Frozen:
  •  3 to 4 pkgs of 16oz (or more) frozen cauliflower (you'll need 3c puree total, so it'll take quite a bit)
  •  2 pkg 16oz frozen spinach
  • 1 pkg frozen broccoli

Dairy:
  •  16oz sour cream (again, never lite or fat free)
  • guacamole (trader joe's is great for this, they have one with 0 net)
  • butter (you'll need at least 1 stick just for recipes)
  • 1- 8oz block of cheddar cheese (for shredding 1c  in a recipe, and the rest for saturday's omelet)
  • 8oz heavy whipping cream
  •  coconut cream
  •  single cream (though I'm pretty sure you can replace this with heavy cream)
  •  3- 8oz pkgs of cream cheese
  • 1 cartopn of eggs (at least 6 large eggs)
  • 11 oz jarlsberg swiss cheese (or in general a sharp swiss for the cordon blue)
