Two week menu plan and grocery list

[Rachel A]

Hi everyone, this is my 2 week menu planner that I made myself. I have borrowed a few recipes and made up a few, and some are tried and true. I have included a grocery list and will also resend this as a word file for
anyone who wants it! Please email me directly so I can just hit the reply button to send the attachment. I did my best and if anyone sees any mistakes, please let me know, this is my own planner and I started it a week ago so I am halfway through it. I will send another one as soon as
I am done. If any of you have any type of their own menu planner,
please share!

Day 1

ORIENTAL CHICKEN WINGS

Collared Greens

SF Jello



deviled eggs

2 celery stalks with cream cheese, slice of ham wrapped around



2 scrambled eggs with 2 Tb heavy cream and 2 Tb sharp cheddar

4 strips bacon





ORIENTAL CHICKEN WINGS

40 drumettes (about 4 lbs.)(I use regular drumsticks)
--
Sauce:
2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. white wine
1/2 c veg. oil
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed ( I use minced outta the jar)
2 T. Splenda (or equivalent of other sugar substitute)
2 tsp. ground ginger

Mix sauce ingredients together and divide in half. Place
drumettes
and
half of the sauce in a plastic bag to marinate overnight. Drain
and
place
drumettes and remaining half of sauce in crock pot on low for 3
1/2 - 4
hours until cooked. Discard juice and serve wings.



Collared Greens

2 ham hocks

stick of salted butter

bunch of greens

1 Tb minced garlic (i buy it by the jar, it lasts a long time!)

2 Tb seasoning salt



Melt butter in pot, add garlic and 1 Tb seasoned salt. sautee.
Add ham hocks. Add water just to the height of the ham hocks.
Simmer for 20 mins. While your hocks are simmering, clean and cut
your greens. Add the greens, pushing them down so they are
all 'wet'. Put lid on pot. Let them simmer until tender, usually
45 mins or longer.

4 strips bacon



leftover chx drumsticks

Day 4

broccoli with mayo (i love mayo on veggies)

consistency, then add 1 packet splenda to sweeten)









Day 5



Shrimp Scampi (out of the box from Sam's Club)

sautéed broccoli in butter and seasoned salt and a tiny bit of
minced garlic (straight from the jar again)

sf jello



2 deviled eggs, that's 4 halves (mayo paprika and deli mustard to
taste)

2 slices black forest deli ham



I ate more jello for breakfast this day!

I just love it and had some homemade whipped cream left over from
the previous night.



Day 6



3 pork kabobs (in the oven)(3 chunks pork, 2 slices green pepper, 1
slice zucchini, 1 mushroom on a skewer) (had these in the freezer
from a sale, but you can make them)

Cucumber Salad

1 cucumber, deskinned, quartered and sliced

Day 7



2 scrambled eggs made my way!



chicken salad

sf jello



chicken parmesan

cucumber salad



Chicken Parmesan

1 boneless skinless chx thigh per person(dh doesnt like white
meat, but you can use breasts!), there is more fat in thighs which
you need on Atkins

spaghetti sauce (if you only use a few Tbsp, carb count is low)

mozzarella cheese

parmesan cheese

olive oil



Put about 2 Tb olive oil in skillet. Salt and pepper. Cook your
thighs till juice is clear. Add spaghetti sauce to skillet. Place
cooked thigh in plate. Sprinkle parmesan on your chicken. Add 2 -
3 Tb spaghetti sauce on top of that. Then grate mozzarella cheese
on top of the spaghetti sauce. Sometimes I put it in the microwave
to melt the cheese a little more!



Chicken Salad

1 can white chicken meat (next to canned tuna at grocery store)

1 hard boiled egg

green leaf lettuce

grated cheese

mayo to taste

salt and pepper to taste



Drain chicken, add all ingredients (except lettuce) in a bowl.
Rinse 2 or 3 large individual lettuce leafs. Spoon chicken salad
onto lettuce leaf. You can add some diced tomatoes if you want.
Roll the lettuce up and stick a toothpick through the middle to
retain the shape. Eat like finger food. My dh likes mustard too.



Day 8

Bacon and eggs



3 deviled eggs



Shrimp scampi

Asparagus



Shrimp Scampi

1 box shrimp scampi

½ jar of Ragu Classic Alfredo

1 can asparagus



Cook shrimp scampi, add the sauce and stir together. Heat
asparagus in microwave for @ 1 minute. Place 4 – 6 asparagus spears
on plate. Generously ladle shrimp and sauce over asparagus.



Day 9

Its time to go out to dinner. Red Lobster has an all-you-can-eat-
shrimp special right now for $14.99 per person! We eat the shrimp
scampi, of course! Did order the shrimp pasta on one of my refills
but just ate the sauce and shrimp and let dd3 eat the pasta!
Instead of a potato, you can either have veggies or coleslaw (server
claimed no suger was added but you never know!)!

Rachel, I see some issues with your menu. Main one is going to be the jello nearly every day.

Your chicken wings are questionable. I'd say skip them until after the first two weeks because of the wine (it doesn't all cook out and there are sugars that won't cook out at all)

Even with a small amount, the spaghetti sauce is not a good idea. It has a lot of sugar in it. Marinara would be a better choice.

The Alfredo sauce - what's in it? I'm going to bet that's not a good choice, either.

I see that you are losing weight, and that's great. There are just a couple of things you need to watch
