When I’ve a tough thought of what I’m planning to prepare dinner for dinner within the coming week I’m a lot much less prone to succumb to the temptation of quick meals or takeout.

That being mentioned, my strategy is an off-the-cuff one. Meal planning can overwhelm me if I attempt to do an excessive amount of. So I make it SUPER EASY. I preserve a post-it word on the counter with an inventory of some dinners I’m planning to make. That’s it.

We’re a middle-aged couple so I’m principally cooking for simply the 2 of us. We’ve got a reasonably lively social life, which implies our plans are at all times topic to vary. (Learn extra about my ideas on real looking meal planning for busy, unpredictable lives.)

Most recipes make greater than we will eat, so we are likely to have a prepared provide of leftovers for lunch or dinner the subsequent day. I take pleasure in discovering artistic methods to make use of and re-purpose leftovers.

I’m at all times asking myself, “How can I make this as simple as potential? For me meal planning works solely once I preserve it so simple as potential. When I’ve a prepared provide of simple to arrange, good for me meals within the fridge and pantry I’m arrange for fulfillment.

I by no means fall into the temptation of takeout when I’ve a jar of soup, bowl of laborious boiled eggs, container or leftovers and/or salad fixings staring again at me once I open the fridge!

This Week’s WW Dinner Ideas with Factors

This week options a few of my simple summer time favorites that require a minimal of cooking.

Sluggish Cooker Salmon with Asian Greens for Two – This crock pot salmon fillets with Asian type greens is a private favourite. It comes collectively in minutes—simply dump in a bag of frozen greens, place your salmon on high, season with salt and pepper and pour in a easy sauce, cowl and prepare dinner. And it takes solely 2-3 hours on LOW, which works properly for me as a result of I work principally from residence. I often serve it with brown rice.

Wholesome Crunchy Tuna Salad for Two
There are many completely different instructions you’ll be able to go along with tuna salad and I like nearly all of them. I’m particularly keen on tuna salads with loads of texture and crunch. I by no means thought of making a crunchy tuna salad with cabbage till I noticed this recipe. It’s a winner in my e-book. I’ll plan to serve it as a sandwich on toasted mild wheat bread with a cup of soup or handful of grapes alongside.

BLTs
BLTs are certainly one of my favourite sandwiches. Rod’s too! The mix of crispy, smoky bacon, cool crunchy lettuce and candy and tangy ripe tomato is fairly laborious to beat. I like to make these when summer time tomatoes are plentiful. So easy and scrumptious. I’ll serve them with Potato Salad, one other summer time favourite.

Breakfast for Dinner: Chilly cereal with milk and fruit. (I’ve been on a Particular Okay kick currently. However I additionally like Cheerios and Wheaties. Since I observe intermittent fasting most days I discover myself having fun with breakfast meals for lunch and dinner far more usually.)

Simply remember the fact that it’s very easy to pour far more than a serving into your bowl. My early days with WeightWatchers a long time in the past taught me that It’s vital to measure your cereal earlier than digging in—at the very least till you’re used to how a specific choice appears to be like in your particular bowl. I additionally discover it useful to make use of a smaller bowl so the quantity seems plentiful once I sit right down to take pleasure in it. One of many many classes I discovered from the highly effective e-book, Senseless Consuming. To say it was a life changer for me is an understatement 🙂

Sizzling canines on mild buns – A summertime staple. My favourite WW pleasant hotdog is Hebrew Nationwide 97% fats free. Once I can’t discover it I used my barcode reader to search out an alternate lighter choice. I’ll plan to serve watermelon and carrot apple slaw alongside.
