Good morning! I’ve got an exciting week planned. I’m going to have a few new vegetable dishes to share that my kids enjoyed. I’m also going to post a Halloween idea, a bean cooking lesson, and finally one more healthy freezer meal. (See what I did here? I am committing myself to writing these posts by putting it out there. Now I have to do it!).
In the News
Apparently I missed the official day, but I have noticed in my local grocery store Ad’s saying “Eat dinner with your kids to prevent drunk Driving!” I LOVE this message! I believe eating dinner as a family has so many positive benefits, including as this message says, prevent drunk driving!
So, here it is, another meal plan for you to use, re-arrange, or just look at say, “Amy- You’re crazy, you think I want to spend that much time in the kitchen??”
Healthy Meal Plan
| Breakfast | Lunch | Snack | Dinner | |
| Monday | Whole Wheat waffles with fruit | Chicken and spinach salad wrap | Poached eggs with asparagus | Bean Cornmeal Pie (vegetarian) |
| Tuesday | Chocolate Banana Shake | Corn Salsa and pita bread | Pineapple, papaya and sunflower seed granola | Chicken with artichokes and mushrooms |
| Wednesday | Crunchy French Toast | Chicken soup with root veggies | Coconut Cream Pops | Southwestern chicken with spinach and mashed potatoes |
| Thursday | Good Day Pear Crisp | Apple cheese sandwich with honey and walnuts | Carrot sticks and peanut butter | Chili |
| Friday | Apple Yogurt Parfait | Low fat vegetarian corn chowder with beans | Oat bran applesauce mini muffins | Asparagus mushroom ham quiche with potato crust |
I’m trying out a new meal planning program called Plan To Eat. You can either add the recipes manually, or import recipes from a huge list of recipe sites. I imported all but two of the recipes, which I entered manually.
After you have recipes you want to use, all you need to do is drag and drop them onto the calendar. When you go to print, you can see the calendar, ALL the recipes, and a shopping list, all on one printout.
So, here is a screen shot of the meals for the week:

That pear crisp looks yummy. And thanks for the vegetarian/bean ideas. Are your kids good bean eaters? 2 of mine won’t touch them. But I keep trying.
Really great post. Many new ideas and proper healthy meal plan are shared here. It will help a lot. Thanks for sharing the nice Post. Keep sharing your fabulous efforts.
I recently joined Plan To Eat too! I’m wondering if there’s a way (and you’re willing) to “share” your recipes on Plan To Eat with any members?
Hi Destiny. I just asked and they said they are working on a group feature now that would allow bloggers and users to set up groups that other users can join to share recipes freely. It’s not quite ready yet, but it’s coming!
In the meantime, I requested you to be my friend. Did you get it?
You’re awesome!! Thanks so much!! I will have to check later when I can access my email. If it doesn’t work I’ll let you know tomorrow.
Thanks for saving me a lot of importing :o)!!!!
Venessa: My kids are actually really good bean eaters. In fact, they ask for extra. I don’t know what I did though, because I only started liking them a few years ago!
Does pear crisp for breakfast really qualify as healthy? If so, I totally want some. It sounds so good!
It was filed under healthy recipes in epicurious, so of course!
