I hate it when I eat a meal and 30 minutes later - I'm hungry again. The way I figure it, a dinner that takes me 30 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to eat and 10 minutes to clean up should keep me full for at LEAST that amount of time. Unfortunately, it's not unusual that we find ourselves reaching for a granola bar or a bag of popcorn, 30 minutes after dinner. I'm taking that as a sign that I need to add some more protein to the meals that I'm preparing for my family. This week, we're loading up our menu with both tasty and satisfying protein rich foods. The theory is that healthy meals that keep us fuller longer, will keep us from the grabbing the unhealthy snacks. (That's the theory anyway.)  Monday Baked Fish and Chips Celebrating meatless Monday with a healthy baked fish recipe from Martha Stewart. Tuesday Turkey Broccoli Rice Bowls Using up the last of the Tuscan Turkey from last week in this super quick and yummy rice dish. Wednesday Pecan Stuffed Pork Chops A new recipe from my Cook's Country magazine. Thursday Slow Cooker Meatloaf Friday Cast Iron Calzone Another new recipe from my Cook's Country magazine. Saturday Chicken Avocado Burgers Sunday Mexican Lasagna Last week marked the end of the travel soccer season and to commemorate the final game, the girls soccer team took on the parents in a friendly game of soccer. I wished I could have played in the game but I had to settle for game photographer instead. It was possibly the funniest game of "soccer" that I've ever seen.
Have a great week friends.
Ciao!
